10 Ways To Avoid Diseases in Wild Game When Survival Hunting<\/a><\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/center>ReadyNutrition Guys and Gals, for the most part, hunting season is over in most of the United States.\u00a0 The reason for this article is if you must do any hunting after the \u201cS\u201d hits the fan.\u00a0 There are a few things to keep in mind about diseases and wild game.\u00a0 It is simple stuff, however, do not allow its simplicity to lull you into a false sense of security: these diseases can kill or cripple you.<\/p>\n

Common Animal Diseases You May Come in Contact With<\/strong><\/p>\n

What we\u2019re referring here to specifically are termed zoonotic<\/strong> infections<\/strong>.\u00a0 These are infections that are concentrated and\/or endemic to wild animal species and can be transferred (hence infecting) humans and\/or domestic animals.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some examples here are Tularemia<\/strong> (also known as \u201crabbit fever\u201d) found in rabbits and hares.\u00a0 It is brought on by ticks (indeed, many of these zoonotic infections are transferred to humans by arthropod vectors (disease-carrying arthropods, such as ticks or fleas), although it can persist into the winter months and infect a human before it kills the host animal.<\/p>\n

Brucellosis<\/strong> is another one, and much costlier, as it spreads to livestock, causing cattle to spontaneously abort their young prior to completion of gestation.\u00a0 Brucellosis can also pass to human beings.\u00a0 Back in 1996, Cryptosporidium passed to an individual who used deer scent (a combination of deer urine and deer glands); it was passed through the bottle of scent.\u00a0 Other diseases are Giardia<\/strong> (Giardia lamblia), Trichinosis<\/strong>, and tapeworm infestations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the methods for these transmissions with wild game is the fecal-oral method of contamination.\u00a0 The hunter touches the feces or urine of the slain animal and then manages to ingest it by touching it to the mouth.<\/p>\n
