“Minnesota and the CDC reported that the three hospitalized patients were treated with the anti-parasitic drug albendazole and recovered.”
Albendazole and mebendazole kill of intestinal parasites in the same way. They starve them of sugars for several hours. I bring both up just because it rings angry memories about US Healthcare. They typically work with a single dose treatment.
Mebendazole is a prescription pill in the US and despite having been made in around the early 1970’s and costing around 4 cents a pill to make, in the US, after getting a prescription, the pills are $250 a piece.
In most of the world, they are prescription free and you can pick up a 6 pack of them for like $12.
God bless America 😡 🇺🇸

Always feels weird when a city dweller like me, seems to have more common sense knowledge like this than people who literally hunt animals to eat.
This kind of thing tends to happen when frugivorous apes attempt to eat meat for no reason.
Edit: the replies confirm that humans really are one chromosome away from Chimpanzees. Amazing.
Humans are omnivores.
Im glad I could clear that up for you.
True but I’d just like to sit and admire the word frugivorous for a moment
I’m a fan of fungivorous, it just seems like something a fun guy would say.
Are they sure that’s the direction of causation? Because eating undercooked bear is the sort of behavior I’d expect from people who were already infected with brain worms.
It’s the same thing you get eatting undercooked pork. Only recently did the pork industry manage to get it mostly out of their herds so now the “recommended temp” to cook pork is dropping.
But it’s still very common in bears so you have to treat it like pork and cooked it to 165*
which sucks, I’d love to try a juicy rare black bear steak.
Have you tried Grindr? They’re out there, champ
Using the dating app for homosexual folks leads to black bear steak?
If you’re lucky! Wink
I’ve had some bear before. Smoked overnight, so essentially pasteurized. Was actually really good.
Same, that’s one of my favourite ways to eat it, basically if it’s a big enough whole muscle it gets ham-a-fied, the rest goes into grind for summer sausage and meatballs.
Family stricken with rare brain worms after eating undercooked bear

Sorry… What’s happening?

And repetition. Plus redundancy.
Don’t forget the whatthefuckery
Dam! 😨 What a bunch of morons.
Even in the Stone Age, Homo sapiens had learned to cook their food before eating it.
This gives a new meaning to bear with me
