IMO you have to play the odds. A whole lot of things out there much more likely to cause issues. I take minimum precautions, avoid eating brain or nerve tissue (backbone). I don't make marrow soup anymore.

At least seven serious diseases that can be transmitted by human feces. When was the last time you saw a giant vegetable field full of migrant workers pickung veggies and not a single toilet in sight?

Personally, Echinococcus multiloculari (Fox band worm) gives me the willies. I now treat predators like toxic waste. There was a minor outbreak near me (on my hunting lease). The semi-wild house Cats were catching it and then crapping in kids sandboxes. A half dozen small children were diagnosed with Echinococcus (in one small village) The eggs from the feces can go airborne and be breathed in. People who feed Fox and lure them into their yards with food are absolutely nuts IMO.

I was bitten by a Deer Fly, caught Tularemia, I almost died. I have been bitten by Ticks on numerous occasions, never got Lymes disease.

Prions are SDBS (super duper bad stuff) high temperatures often doesn't kill it, many disinfectants have no effect. https://blogs.scientificamerican.com...s-are-forever/

Maybe switch to Hogs, I've read some articles that there is a very, very low incidence of Prion disease in Hogs.
