The duck was riddled with worms.. I remember a post here not to long ago about a deer having worms as well....

You have to eat that if you get one I guess that is why I have a dog

 Don't let the dog eat it.  Thats how it spreads.  Burn the whole duck and throw the ashes in the Trash

Rice breast is nothing new.

   Exactly!  Nothing new about deer or elk with worms.  I would say common as these (or most) parasites have been here all along and in most case our wildlife has evolved to deal with.  Just nature at work.

I was not aware of rice breast until this year. I opened up a fat green head and the breasts were riddled with the little parasites. That duck did not get eaten.

I shoot 15 birds a year with rice breast. Been that way for the last 6 years.

Now you're going to get bashed on by all the perfect,  ethical people on here 

[silverdalesauer]

I had never heard of before.

[ICEMAN]

Ok, I will say it. I have cut out infected areas and eaten the other portion.

Cooking kills this parasite.

Many many guys have eaten a whole lot of this parasite in the past with no ill effect.

One more reason I like to skin and not pluck my waterfowl.

Maybe not. He kept it from spreading. :0)

Nuthin wrong with a little extra protein in the mix.

You can eat it, however most choose not to. In the birds I have found the parasite in, I could not cut the bad parts out. I choose not to eat it in my birds but they make excellent crab bait.

I haven't plucked many ducks in the last twenty years either.  We talked about this parasite in a Wildlife Ecology class back in 1985, it's been around a while.

Cooking kills it. So does the freezer until garbage day.
