Three people ended up in hospital suffering from fever, severe muscle soreness and swelling around the eyes.
A group of people were struck down with roundworms after eating undercook bear meat at a family reunion. In July 2022, the Minnesota Department of Health was notified that a 29-year-old man had been to the hospital multiple times over a two-and-a-half-week period with symptoms including fever, severe muscle soreness, swelling around the eyes, among others.
Nine family members, largely from Minnesota but also from South Dakota and Arizona, ate the meal, though some only ate vegetables, which had been cooked and served with the meat. Doctors ultimately diagnosed the 29-year-old with trichinellosis, a roundworm which is rare in humans and usually contracted by eating wild game. Once in a human host, the larvae can then move through the body to muscle tissue and organs, including the brain.
