Hunting and drinking blood of.....

A few weeks back someone posted a question on this subject.And while doing a bit of early spring cleaning , I ran across a small article I had clipped awhile back, which I had read and then filed away, on this subject, which be might of interest to some.By the way, anyone can read about this disease in the Current Med Publication for 2002 entitled, Diagnosis & Treatment, I don't have the name of publisher but will add it, to this thread, as soon as I get.Cystic Hydatid Disease(Unilocular Hydatid Disease)E Granulosis, one of several strains.In the vernacular, this is a strain of the worms usually associated with dogs. One, if not the defenitive host is the common dog, including coyotes, foxes and other carnivours belonging to the dog familie.Transmitted by accidental contact with dog feces.Humans can be intermediatre hosts; other intermediate hosts can be deer, elk, moose,sheep, cattle, other clove hoofed grazers.Foci have been reported from Western US, to the lower Mississippi Valley, Alaska, Northwestern Canada. Liberated embroys penetrate the intestinal mucosa, enter the blood stream and are carried to the liver, lungs, brain, skeleto muscles, kidneys, spleen, spinal soft tissue, tongue, other soft tissue.Here they develop into sylvatic cysts, which may go unnoticed for years, (some time taking as long as 10-20 yrs)and grow until reaching a size which becomes noticeable by palpation, or rupture or leak, or put pressure on surrounding nerve tissue, such as in spinal nerves causing parapeglia.Ruptures may cause multiple secondary cysts.This disease can and is treatable if diagnosis is made early, or before the more severe sysmptons appear.Now, I know some will say, this article speaks about it being transmitted by accidental contact with dog feces. My point isn't to argue about this or to imply that somehow or other, anyone that drinks, or tastes blood of animals shot and dressed in the field will automatically infect anyone that drinks or comes into contact with the infected blood of these animals, but to simply make the point that there exists very good reasons for not drinking the blood of any animal, without first considering the implications of such an act.Infected cloven hoofed animals both domestic and wild are suceptible to these microorganisms, by virtue of their inherent nature to graze, and nibble on grasses and sedges, or the eating of fallen nuts, and seeds found laying on the ground.And as you know dogs and coyotes, or foxes are not particular fussy, where they do their business.This is only one example of many other organisms that are in need of a host during their transitient pathogenic stages.I say be carefull when considering doing something like this, there are no garuanteesthat one can be assured that any animal is disease free, by a visual examination of organs, and knowing that the larval state of this peculiar strain of parasite, can survive the stomach enzymes of the hosts stomach (in this case humans) and enter the blood stream (which would put any individual at risk during this time) thru the intestinal lining, and the fact that one can be infected many years before being discovered, is sobering.Please accept this just as general information, I did'nt do an exhaustive research into the subject and only culled out those portions which would be informative to you all, take it from here. Cook all your food, thats the only way you can be assured, that what you are eating will achieve the purpose intended,to nourish your body.[This message has been edited by turbo (edited 01-11-2002).]
