Are they sure that’s the direction of causation? Because eating undercooked bear is the sort of behavior I’d expect from people who were already infected with brain worms.
See, I would expect people with brain worms to vote RFK
The "brainworm population" is under represented in modern politics.
Gerrymandering ruins everything lol
Are you sure about that?
Rfk jr, the poster boy for "my brain was eaten by worms"
It's the same thing you get eatting undercooked pork. Only recently did the pork industry manage to get it mostly out of their herds so now the "recommended temp" to cook pork is dropping.
But it's still very common in bears so you have to treat it like pork and cooked it to 165*
which sucks, I'd love to try a juicy rare black bear steak.
Have you tried Grindr? They're out there, champ
I would expect that to lead to black bear sausage rather than steak.
Well now I'm even hungrier....
Using the dating app for homosexual folks leads to black bear steak?
It leads to sexy fun time shenanigans with black bears, whether you eat steak during your sexy fun time shenanigans is up to you.
If you're lucky! Wink
Yeah daddy gimme that juicy black bear meat
I've had some bear before. Smoked overnight, so essentially pasteurized. Was actually really good.
Same, that's one of my favourite ways to eat it, basically if it's a big enough whole muscle it gets ham-a-fied, the rest goes into grind for summer sausage and meatballs.

Trichinosis from bear isn't much harder to get than salmonella from chicken.
