Didn't he actually contract it from bear meat on one of his episodes?
He tells the story on one of his podcasts. They all got sick about a month later with severe flu like symptoms, extreme muscle aches. Started comparing symptoms and connected the dots. It took them a while to recover. Not something you want to play with that's for sure. I cook all my bear meat to 165 degrees F and verify with a meat thermometer in several locations.

I shot a 120lb sow 6-7 years ago and found 4-5 inch worms alive crawling around in its cavity and meat. I will admit I did not eat that meat. Was scared I would get this same sickness.
Freezing just adds insurance. Any bear of mine will be in the freezer for 60 days before I consume it.
