Almost anything's possible. Could get TB from an infected deer. Some kind of swine disease from wild hogs. Possibly get parasites from Gulf fish. We also can fall in a shower, get hit driving a car and have some dillweed at Lowe's knock over a display on us. Stuff happens. IMO Just have to be smart, use common sense and be aware of things. My rule of thumb: Eyes -- if there's something obvious like tumors, lesions, internal WTF is that? stuff, obvious infection or gangrene -- toss it Nose - if it smells like "OMG, that's diseased" -- toss it. I don't care about the "you're wasting meat" yammering from some. I've thrown away fish in the Gulf that had worms or whatever inside. Threw away some mallards a few years ago with little white wormy things in the breasts. They otherwise looked fine. And I've probably eaten meat and fish that had something and I didn't know or realize. Stuff happens. But if I don't think it's copacetic, it goes in the trash or to the coyotes. Rubber gloves are cheap, too. I know guys who have had a nicked finger or broken skin and have gotten infections after cleaning deer and hogs. Simple and easy to just slide on some gloves, slow down, be aware of anything that looks gross or diseased. And I know some deer hunters who are allergic to deer hair, which is weird. It makes them break out in hives. So they wear elbow-length gloves and take their time. Hunting hogs in spring 2018 in Texas, I shot a sow that weighed maybe 175+ and had a couple of shoats with her. Nice hog, looked good, no signs of anything. This is Texas, of course, so they're eating prickly pear and walking over-in-through cactus so they have spines in their legs and bellies. Hoisted it on the rack, made the first slice and we almost threw up. Putrid green nasty goo that smelled like gangrene. Probably was. Lowered her into the dump barrel and moved on to the next hog. I'd be more concerned about some kind of chit from ticks than the possibility of TB, swine flu, brucellosis, trickyrabbitnosis or something else, though, to be honest.

You're last sentence is dead on, take it from a guy who's had tick borne illnesses twice!!
