If I shoot one this year I am not touching it.
I won’t touch the poop either. I assume this is from a coyote.

Slightly different parasite for wolves, echinococcus granulosus. This is also a zoonosis and has similar effect on the human body. I imagine the cuddly wolves may be able to host either. Unfortunately, it won't kill them.

Crap..
Well that sucks. Kind of takes the fun out of it.
Guess I’m going to have to carry rubber gloves or just turn them into the focal point of a smoldering hole and leave them in a pile.

Only dusted one wolf so far, this still isn’t going to prevent me from blasting every one I see.

Me either


From the article you have years of procrastination before you have to get dewormed  :chuckle:

But it probably would be a good idea to know the symptoms so you can get tested then dewormed if needed.


https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/echinococcosis/gen_info/ae-faqs.html

What are the symptoms of alveolar echinococcosis (AE)?
AE is caused by tumor-like or cyst-like tapeworm larvae growing in the body. AE usually involves the liver, but can spread to other organs of the body. Because the cysts are slow-growing, infection with AE may not produce any symptoms for many years. Pain or discomfort in the upper abdominal region, weakness, and weight loss may occur as a result of the growing cysts. Symptoms may mimic those of liver cancer and cirrhosis of the liver.

Can alveolar echinococcosis (AE) be prevented?
If you live in an area where Echinococcus multilocularis is found in rodents and wild canines, take the following precautions to avoid infection:

Don’t touch a fox, coyote, or other wild canine, dead or alive, unless you are wearing gloves. Hunters and trappers should use plastic gloves to avoid exposure.
Don’t keep wild animals, especially wild canines, as pets or encourage them to come close to your home.
Don’t allow your dogs and cats to wander freely or to capture and eat rodents.
If you think that your pet may have eaten rodents, consult your veterinarian about possible preventive treatments.
Wash your hands with soap and warm water after handling dogs or cats, and before handling food.
Teach children the importance of washing hands to prevent infection.
Do not collect or eat wild fruits or vegetables picked directly from the ground. All wild-picked foods should be washed carefully or cooked before eating.
