Rice breast

In terms of risk to humans, it is probably OK to cook it and eat affected birds but not sure it's recommended(!). We had a wildfowler from last season who said he'd eaten his affected bird - personally I like wild meat because it's healthy so the idea of eating meat that's weirdly full of parasites is rather less appealing but perhaps I'm a bit soft! It's worth noting that affected meat shouldn't be fed to dogs either as they might become the intermediate host for the parasite.

 

This is part of an email I received ,. Jim.

I saw a photo this morning of an infected bird shot in the states that was horrendous.

I saved the photo to my phone but have no clue how to post it here. There was no way anyone was eating that bird and it was definitely done a favour by being shot. It would make your skin crawl it was that badly infected with rice breast. A horrible thing that seems to becoming more and more common.
