Diseases you can get from Wildlife

[23/4there]

I just took a course on biodiversity (yeehaw). Anyhoo, I got a field-guide to animal disease and thought it might be interesting for those hunter out there.

You'll notice a lot of the diseases don't affect humans

I've never gotten sick and Ive stabbed my self lots when butchering/gutting I must have a good immune system. I also eat wild game blue rare with no problems. The only thing that i may overcook is bear.

I think I got CWD, because I sure do waste a lot of time on the computer these days. Chronic!

Guess a guy should wear gloves more often.

I worry more about fleas or lice from preadators than I do about getting worms, warts or bird flu.

The H Pilori virus is one of the most common. This nasty little bug--r will cause you to crap through the eye of a needle at 25 paces, give severe stomach cramps and weakness if allowed to go for to long without treatment. You only need to take the treatment once and you won't get it again though. bearhunter

I have had Tularemia... this is not something to put on the top of your to-do list, I can tell you that for free!
But that "anaSACKiasis" one makes my boys feel funny just thinking about the name.

Eating game meat has caused me to develop two serious addictions:

1. Hunting

2. Eating game

That's pretty close to "Hog Wild". You get it from wild hog.

Rocky Mountain Spotted fever will kill you! So will the Hantavirus.
Less then 50% chance.
