I am not sure if this is the proper locationfor this post, butI want make some deer jerky, but the information I am getting is inconsistence.

For simplicty, I thoughtgetting a jerkygun and a dehyrdrator wouldbe the way to go. Then I read in a publicationthestate of Alaska put out that a dehydratormust reach 180 degeesto killthe parasites. Others I've talked with say a K-Mart dehydratorreaching 140degrees is what they use andtheyhave not gotten sick.Wherecanbuya 180 degree dehydrator? Is this necessary?

It also seems thatjerky gunsmake the meat eaiserto mold and handle.
I welcomeyour thoughts.
