Parasites in deer meat (pic)
I shot a doe last night and while butchering today, I found some parasites or something in the meat. They are small white to yellow cysts about 3 mm X 1 mm. I found them all over the body embedded in the meat. I haven't seen this before and was wondering if anyone else has. I'm trying to post some pic's but it isn't working. Maybe one of the experts can figure that out to. Anyhow, any knowledge on this would be apprecitated. Thanks.

Not sure about the inside of the lungs as I left them out where I field dressed her. I did look at the outsides and they looked fine. The doe was big and seemed healthy. She had a fawn with her so she was healthy enough to reproduce.
