Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Not sure I would want to eat something that looked like that, but would thorough cooking kill the TB bacillus making it safe to eat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-BAR #18287 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 The link is a presentation about bovine tb found on the USDA website; more than you ever wanted to know! Scroll through and look a few maps and charts. Looks like Michigan is a fairly isolated hotspot. Wear rubber gloves when dressing out any game animal. If something doesn’t look right contact your local game warden. http://www.usaha.org/upload/Meetings/2017/Presentations/Schoenbaum_Cattle_TB_2017.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Checotah Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 We here in Maine just recently got that news for Quebec deer. At least I just got it from the news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could guarantee that all the meat ... all the way to the bone, had reached a temperature of 165* for at least 15 minutes You could eat it, with the knowledge that if you missed something, you and anyone you served it to may be in for a lifetime on medications. TB doesn't just infect the lungs. It can set up the G.I. Tract, in lymph nodes or anywhere else in your body that is a nice warm, moist place... (do you have a tiny cut somewhere?) But the problem is, to cook it, you have to first handle it raw. Since the M. Bovis is also airborne, you would have to be absolutely sure that nothing got into your eyes, nose or mouth. You'd have to have be wearing a TB mask (not a normal surgical mask.) Wear goggles that seal around your eyes, and have a body covering that you could dispose of while handling the raw meat. Don't forget shoe coverings, and something to cover your head, hair and ears. Then, be careful while taking all that stuff off afterwards... wrong moves such as touching yourself somewhere with the gloved hands, could contaminate yourself anyway. Think cooking in a hazmat suit with a filtered air supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
