People very sick after eating wild pig

If it was 1080, then there would have been and there will be more cases . But this one seems to be a first.
I wonder if they consumed the liver of the pig?
And yes, in france for exemple, any wild bore meat is kept in the freezer for a few months before consumption to kill some parasite present in the meat I believe.

I just asked a mate in france, and the parasite is the trichinosis.

After reading the above article, it does not seems to be that , but it is still interesting to read.

Gibo.. you been on the porangi waipiro AGAIN.....:thumbsup:

Clay from the YouTube channel has an argentinian dog which eats pigs so maybe it depends on the breed.

Moonpork is serious shit. It causes black plague, unwanted pregnancies, unconsciousness and death.

Its just an old myth that floats around the internet about pork going off in moonlight. Completely false of course.

Not only pork, my old man wouldn't kill a sheep or hang it in the full moon, ( no killing shed) so out the back under the willows hung in muslin. Reckoned the full moon meat/fat would not set... Bullshit / old wives talle maybe ...not sure myself just the way he did it ...and the way I was brought up to do it.

Any way, bone taint as I call it , is when the meat doesn't get cooled fast enough and rots / goes off! Especially wild pork ..well in my experince dogged pork ..stuck and packed out whole the lion and throat area in summer doesn't get enough time to cool ..chucked on the back of the truck ...drive home in 20 degree heat and the loin will be pink and unpleasant.

Unwanted pregnancies? Surely that is the Pork Sword that does that.

@stingray bone taint is real, as you say it's caused by not cooling the carcass as quick as you can, or leaving it overnight with the gutbag in it and recovering it a day later - they take a long time to cool with the guts in. But not hanging it in full moonlight for fear of moonpork had been proven false. There isn't enough uv or heat in moonlight to be a problem.

My Grandfather would also warn me not to hang pork or mutton in the moonlight.

@Gibo, I did not realised you already talked about it. At least it gives a few more info about what those two things are and do.

I just heard on the radio that the tox screen results will be made public this morning. Lock in your votes, BANZAI!

Thats quite quick, they must have had an idea of what to look for, otherwise saying test this for poison means thousands of different tests would need to be run.

End of the day the media is now making a big deal its a Wild Boar that may have caused this. It doesnt matter , if its the meat its pork, could have been chicken or fish from the supermarket. If its undercooked you may get sick, or not looked after before eating etc like any meat you going to consume you risk getting food posioning. Already people on the net on the band wagon for banning pighunting as wild pig not safe to eat. Its all Bull shit, its as safe as any other meat as long as you cook it properly etc. So much wild game is consumed in this country its not funny. Some havnt been taken care of before eating as good as it should but more people get food posioning by chicken than what someone has shot in the bush.
Its all about how its prepared and cooked, simple as that

Geeze Friwi probably just Mad Pig desease! Talking UK!!

"The neighbours told me within 30 minutes of eating their meal they were throwing up at 15 minute intervals. Shibu rang 111 and fainted through the conversation."

Toxin-releasing bacteria and other food poisoning organisms do NOT fit the bill with such (1) short time between ingestion and (2) very severe effect.

Look for yourself on this useful chart: http://www.foodborneillness.com/incubation-ranges.pdf

Accidental spicing with hemlock could however fit the bill, what with paralysis.

http://www.foodsafetynews.com/2015/0.../#.Wg4axEqWb4c

Interesting quote from WebMD, about eating animals that in turn have eaten hemlock:
(From: https://www.webmd.com/vitamins-suppl...ntname=hemlock )
"Hemlock is a very poisonous plant. In fact, all parts of the plant are toxic. Hemlock is most poisonous during the early stages of growth in the spring, but it is dangerous at all stages of growth. The poisons in hemlock are so deadly that people have died after eating game birds that had eaten hemlock seeds."
"Hemlock is native to Europe and western Asia and was introduced into North America as an ornamental plant. It is frequently found in the US and southern Canada. Hemlock typically grows near fences, roadsides, ditches, abandoned construction sites, pastures, crops, and fields, where it can be confused with harmless plants. Accidental poisonings have occurred when people mistook the root for parsnip, leaves for parsley, or seeds for anise."

Ive got half a pig in the freezer atm..... should I still eat it?

I prefer the Boar War :)

Tutu poisoning??

So....has the tox results been reported as yet?

hemlock has been used for suicide/execution since ancient greek egyptian .roman times.given pigs are omnivores -who knows it could have eaten anything from animal carcasses?grassgrub treated pasture ,tutu or any bloody thing and its sheer coincidence this bloke shot this ine and its turned out to be an ardent student of karma.
Trademe message boards are full of hysterical twats and c ts on it .was going to chip in but thought fuck it dont lower yourself.
anyone here with heart problems -used digoxin??thats originally derived from the common garden variety foxglove with its component digitalis.dont ingest a feed though to "see what happens"leave that to thick shits.
Hmmmmmmaybe mr piggy ingested a dose of a specially prepared cannabis crop???
actually in hindsight im wondering if ESR or national poisons center are in fact have trouble identifying the toxin and may have had to go overseas for assistance -wouldnt be the first time.

Hopefully the boar war turns out for us like the emu war did for the Australians

According to the news tonight they are strongly suspecting botulism. Turns out it may not have even been the pork.

Doctors believe three people left gravely ill after eating wild boar are suffering from botulism, a Waikato Hospital spokeswoman says.

"While we don't know the exact cause and source of this illness, we now believe it is botulism. The three patients are responding to botulism anti-toxin and are recovering in hospital.

"We have sent samples off to a specialist centre in Queensland for testing but it may take several weeks before we get the results. We have no evidence to believe there is any public health issue."

Theres a silver lining there. At least they should come out wrinkle free

No. Not Botox @kiwijames

Close, but I'm just not quite sure that botoxism is the same as botulism, but then again, ya knew that.:)
