Tularaemia
« on: September 09, 2010, 11:12:56 pm »
Any need to worry about this disease? Apparently many hares and rabbits are infected with it and it can be quite serious for humans.

Well, I've been eating tons of raw wild hare carcasses and some raw rabbits for many years, and have never had a problem, so I can assure you it's quite safe to eat those.

Were they inspected for parasites?

Do you blame vultures for the carcass they eat?

  I seriously doubt it as there were still pellets embedded all over the body and the carcass was reasonably untouched, except for the head.. I'm sure if they took the time to inspect the hares for parasites, they would have had the time to take out the pellets.

Tyler, according to this site: http://www.patient.co.uk/doctor/Tularaemia.htm tularaemia does not occur naturally in the uk, so it would be no surprise that you have had no problems from eating the hares and rabbits there. Apparently tularaemia type A only occurs in North America.

Very rarely
"In the United States, although records show that tularemia was never particularly common, incidence rates  continued to drop over the course of the 20th century so that between 1990 and 2000, the rate was less than 1 per 1,000,000, meaning the disease is extremely rare in the US today."
