No not common.
I believe all species can get it?
But as I only smack reds I wouldn't no.

Who else has seen it ?

Interesting. Anyone here able to tell us from the look of it which flavour of the common deer worms this is please ?

Several years back we took a spiker out of Totara Flats (Tararuas) that had what appeared to me at the time to be a pretty severe infestation of lungworm - the shot spread them everywhere! Once tidied up the meat itself appeared clear. Good to pick up this type of thing before handing the usual meat packs out to friends & family.

What part of the wairarapa did you shoot him? Just asking because Iv shot plenty in the wairarapa lately

now for the non butchery hunting folk like me (and maybe its only me ) ... is that an actual horrible effing worm in that meat ? ie a real stinkin moving squiggley worm? fuk that shit .... I eaten some rank females out , but even I would say no ,, to wormy old meat

Have you ever eaten fish and chips in aussi or SA?

Ha ha Stumpy

@stumpy she's real I'll drop some off for you to try and I'm sure it would still taste better then stink flipper

that's a medium sized example of the urewera porterhouse worm, that particular pale one belonging to sub-species faleneshis falinoshitt, the one that leaves slow-acting venom in the veins of it's prey.

Often transfers seamlessly into and thru the gut of humans. Spends it's days wriggling just below skin level, it's the softer pulpy layers of flesh they first breed in before shifting to the kidney area where they build their nests and tap into the spinal cord.

Just in case if you did eat the meat(hope the hell you didn't) you'll probably notice the effects soon, usually ravaging thirst and burning skin at first.
Second stage coagulated blood vomiting etc.. keep us up to date anyway bro, here's hoping it all works out in the end

Fortunately lion brown will cure the disease but may cause other unfortunate side effects.

@sixpointfive I did eat some about two weeks ago didn't notice any thing like that. I have mpi wanting a sample so will see how she goes is it harmful when frozen and the cooked?

Let us all know in six months when you poo out that conga

Seen as you took the rest to a butcher, I would like to think a butcher would pick this up and let you know if it was a problem.

I mean if he is real busy he might just throw it in the mincer and miss it, depending on how deep the worms are and how many.

yeah mate the porterhouse worm can be pretty tricky, they can go
for the bone marrow too, you won't feel much then
(until the population reaches saturation/bursting point) but they mostly attack when the victim least expects it
