There is a Meateater where Steve gets trichinosis. I have always heard to make sure to cook bear meat well done.

The article says that trichinosis is from eating undercooked wild game. From what I remember the two main carriers are hogs and bears.

During my Public Health days in the Air Force I remember interviewing patients who were infected with trichina. In every case it was traced back to the person eating under cooked black bear meat.

USDA has released new information that by using a sous vide, you can cook the bear meat at much lower temperatures, but it needs to stay at that temp for a specified period of time. This way you can eat it medium or lower.
Bear Hunter magazine had an article that I will search for if anyone is interested.

I saw that article, interesting for sure. I'm not so certain I'm willing to Chance it myself yet.
