polemat 0 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Hi all, sorry if this is a daft question but not come across this before. Was jointing the bunnies after a day out with the ferts and came across this when I cut in to the flesh. A watery liquid filled with small white balls in a void in the flesh. What is it? And more importantly what can I or should I do with the meat? Thanks for the help. Oh, and cus I watch too many bad films all I can think about is those spiders that lay their eggs in you and then the babys eat their way out! Quote Link to post

stevethefish 80 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) Yes mate tape worm eggs I would bin it personally, cant imaging having to pull a 5 foot tape worm out of my ring piece. I know cooking kills them but its just the thought, or on the other hand dont wash it and give it to someone you dont like.........only kidding. Did you see the worm in the intestine? you usually get a watery yellowish liquid in with them. Edited January 7, 2011 by stevethefish Quote Link to post
polemat 0 Posted January 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 I am putting on weight though, don't they help with that!? Didn't check the intestine at the time just flicked it all out. Freezing kills the eggs as well doesn't it? Quote Link to post

The one 8,397 Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 You can see them /feel them when your skinning and gutting the rabbit so you should never eat one Quote Link to post
