Definitely can't get trichinosis from a cut.

The only reason bear meat should be tested is if it is accidentally consumed raw or under cooked.

Definitely no point testing it just to find out if the meat has it. 15-20% of bears in southern BC have it and as many as 80% up north.

So the test comes back positive which indicates you need to cook it through? Newsflash, trichinella is just one of dozens of reasons bear must be cooked properly. It's not like it's safe to eat a medium rare bear steak just because it tested negative for one of many parasites.

Absolutely no point in testing meat unless it was accidentally eaten raw or undercooked.

There was an FB post a year or two ago where a toddler got into the fridge and started chowing down on raw bear meat (savage!) ... the hospital sent it off for testing. That is one case where testing meat makes sense to me.
