So what is the sheep situation like today in Idaho? You, a hunter, are still supporting the domestic sheep industry while you know that wild sheep are facing decreasing numbers in areas due to the grazing of domestics with wild sheep?

There are two life stages for this parasite, tapeworms in the intestinal tract of a carnivore, the obligate host, or cysts in organs of the secondary host which usually includes ungulates; and sometimes humans. People do not get tape worms from the eggs. So the answer is no worms at any time; only the possiblity cysts.

In only a 9 year period from 1979 to 1988 in Romania 8557 people were hospitalized with Hydatid disease and 516 people died,

http://www.liebertonline.com/doi/abs/10.1089/fpd.2009.0489

from jlr’s link:

“Treatment of human intermediate hosts consists of removal of the hydatid cyst(s). Removal of the cyst(s) is recommended for pastoral infections but cysts of sylvatic origin may allow for a more conservative treatment. If surgery is performed to remove the cyst(s), a course of drugs (the drug of choice is Albendazole) is prescribed to kill any remaining tapeworm larvae that might still be in the body. The disease may not always be cured by surgery.”

” The website will explain how this is associated with E. Granulosus.”

Which web site?

For those of you who don’t think this is a real thing, I live in Montana and a friend of mine (who happens to be an avid outdoorsmand) just got diagnosed with Echinococcosis. The website will explain how this is associated with E. Granulosus. At first they thought it was pleurisy, however, after numerous tests the results came back for Echinococcosis. I wonder how many cases of pleurisy are out there that are misdiagnosed.

Amen, Tom….Amen! Unfortunately, the “manipulation” of scientific research is an ongoing event….much to the detriment of “true science” and TRUTH…It is as corrupt as any corrupt politician, and is as much a bribe as any payola…
