    You cannot contract trichinosis via open cut. The larvae need to be digested in order to transfer to human host. The larvae are present in the skeletal muscle tissue. I have accidently cut myself a few times while butchering bear. it happens

    Also, as I understand it you wouldn't get tric from getting bear blood or meat in a cut. To get trichinosis you have to ingest a decent amount of the larvae which sit dormant in the meat of the bear in calcified cysts. That is until something ingests it and the stomach acids of that something dissolves the cysts letting the little dudes free. Even so, tric sounds pretty mild to me, in a game of would you rather I would take trichinosis over a fair number of other diseases.

    I don't believe the lab does this anymore. There was a thread here on HBC years back that mentioned it. I made a phone call or few and was told the lab is no longer there/offering the test and to simply presume that all Bear have trich and to handle/cook the meat accordingly.

    If you eat meat, you eat worms. Hopefully dead ones. Mmmmmmmm

    You should stop shooting bears if you don't do the homework and learn how to process and cook it. Tric is only released when your stomach acids break down the casing around the worm. Cooking kills the dormant worm. It is not in the blood.
    Liver fluke in moose, tric in pigs and a host of things in rabbits.

    Look around is there someone you can introduce to shooting because that’s the only way we will buck the anti gun trend sweeping Canada! "tigrr 2006"

    Well, I don't need to know much about trich at all to know to cook my meat property, doesn't really hurt me thinking I could have got it from the blood, if anything it just made me be more careful lol

    Worms or otherwise I'll never stop shooting bears, they are delicious, if I got one that was sub par is grind it all up and cook it / feed it to my dogs. Nothing goes to waste here.
