[QUOTE="sfdoc2000, post: 2014306, member: 76742"] Not just Staphylococci but any other of a host of organisms could have infected this animal. The animal this scrawny probably was septic (systemic blood borne infection). Don't forget that cooking to high temp May kill all the bad bacteria but what I worry about is the heat stable toxins that the bacteria may produce. Remember Botulina toxin. Cooking doesn't destroy it. Staph bacteria double every two hours. if the meat is not frozen it may be destroyed just by the time it takes to process and freeze. If the game and fish department is not answering the phone and if their office is not too far away I would contact them directly in person. maybe the only way you can get a response. The only way to determine if the meat is safe is by biologic testing. Costly and takes time. Best option is to try to get a replacement tag. I wouldn't try to eat the meat. And yes, I am a retired Orthopedic Surgeon. Finally if your wife is still in chemo treatment her immune system is still not yet back to normal. Don't even think about letting her eat that meat. Very best congratulations on her accomplishment. She's a real trooper. Best to you all. Doc Z [/QUOTE]
