well i am glad it is taken seriously.....it is serious....i didn't realize deer and sheep , etc.,even dogs can get it.....after reading the all the material i had read, i know without a doubt i will never clean a critter without gloves....even whileworking the check station, those gloves are going on....
i love my deer meat med. rare, i don't think i'll be cooking it like that anymore....hogs , i have always cooked well, but not my venison, it'll be different....
to be honest, i haven't always wore gloves, but it seems like i am hearing of more and more folks contracting this disease or some other funk from hogs and i see what it has done to them, it's so not worth it...i'll have to get a longer knife for when i'm dog hunting, lol...unless i'm already wearing gloves, but i know that probably won't be the case....thats about the only time i really get blood on me.....let's all learn from the mistakes other have made....i would really hate to hear about one of y'all contracting anything......just becareful......
