Feral Pig Consumption Leads to Hospitalization Due to Rare Infection for Florida Resident
Warning: Explicit Content Ahead
Fuckin' Florida Feral Pig Gig Lands Senior Citizen in Hospital
Old man's craving for wild hog ends up with a potentially lethal infection. In a recent case study, medical professionals explain how this snafu could've cost the pastor in his 70s his life.
Last month, neuroscientists and public health officials in Florida digested and shared this pig-powered tragedy in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases. The Holy Roller had been bouncing around hospitals and needed his heart-stabilizing implant ripped out before doctors detected the root cause of his problems – pig-borne bacteria called Brucella suis. Eventually, they saved his ass with some kick-ass antibiotics.
This heartbreaker lived on a modest ranch, teeming with potential disease-carrying creatures. Himself a non-hunting, non-connoisseur of raw meat, he expressed zero familiarity with his potential illness vectors.
But what the man did recall was receiving a few fateful plates of feral pork from a local hunter back in 2017. This gift was no feast-for-the-eyes but a lesson in life and death. Stripped of the fur and guts, the meat had no issue catching the man's attention, so he deftly prepared it with his bare hands before digging in with reckless abandon. Every beast spewed fear-inducing microorganisms, and this old-timer's careless cooking methods likely welcomed these critters right into his system.
Fuck, B. suis! This bastard bacteria causes the insidious disease brucellosis, propagated by animals and contracted via the consumption of raw milk or undercooked meat or direct animal contact. The pastor's doctors initially struggled to pinpoint the source of his infection, until they performed surgery on that heart-stabilizing implant and discovered the motherfucker deep inside his organ.
Brucellosis is some no-holds-barred shit. They used to classify it as a potential biological weapon, considering it can be easily distributed via aerosolization. The infection is tricky to detect, and once it gets ahold of you, it can cause severe complications such as lingering joint inflammation, heart issues, and in some cases, chronic fatigue.
Doctors suspected the Florida Farmhand had brucellosis during his numerous hospital stays, but they were repeatedly thwarted in their attempts to diagnose him. Like a crafty parasite, the bacteria evaded detection and wreaked havoc on the man's heart for years.
Well, when the motherfucker finally made itself known, the doctors sprayed that bitch with a hefty cocktail of antibiotics and watched it combust! Four months later, a new heart-stabilizing machine was put in place with a clean bill of health.
North American 'Monster Hogs' Aiming for World Domination
Brucellosis is fucking rare in the States, with only a hundred or so cases reported annually. But them swine are a perpetual nuisance in pockets of America, including Florida. And the authors warn those who hunt them or eat their flesh to be on the lookout for infections.
"Any fucker out there hunting feral swine infiltrates themselves with more than just memories. B. suis infection is a possibility, so bust out the protective gear," they cautioned.
Hog Wild Prevention Tips
- Wear gloves while handling raw feral pig meat to skirt contact with harmful germs.
- Be cautious around blood and bodily fluids – they're loaded with fuckin' diseases.
- Keep tools and surfaces spick-and-span when dealing with swine.
- Cook your swine to at least 160°F (71°C) to eliminate bacteria.
- Ensure every inch of the meat receives some heat therapy to slay any microscopic bastards.
- Source your meat correctly – if it's sketchy, let it be.
- If you're handling meat, wash your hands before and after, you heedless fool!
- Consider testing the meat if it's from a disease-prone region.
By keeping these guidelines in mind, you can drastically reduce your odds of ending up in the same boat as thatSWFL pastor. Stay vigilant, fam!
- The case study highlights how the consumption of undercooked feral pork, carrying the bacteria Brucella suis, could potentially be lethal.
- Despite being a non-hunter and unaware of the potential illness risk, the pastor received fateful plates of feral pork in 2017, which led to his infection with brucellosis.
- Science and health experts warn those hunting or consuming feral pork to take precautions, as the bacteria Brucella suis infection is a possibility.
- To avoid infection, precautions like wearing gloves, cooking meat properly, and testing meat from disease-prone regions are advised to reduce the risk of brucellosis.
