Thread: Shouldn’t cut up an animal before rigor mortis is complete

As someone who has had giardia from contaminated creek water and throwing up or shitting through the eye of a needle for a week , then 2 weeks just generally feeling downtrodden followed by another week of puking/shitting , and this went on for nearly a year and a 20kg weight loss before the doc figured out what it was , I dare say if you had had that bug also , you wouldn't mind getting your boots wet .
And the cure was worse than the bug . Drop a pill that strips your stomach lining off - which then gave me ulcers ...... another 6 months of feeling like crap - no fun at all .

I learn't the hard way why you shouldn't leave carcasses in a creek and knowing what the possible outcome could be .( it wasn't me that left it by the way. I always remove any carcasses I find in waterways now even if they not mine or died of old age - wouldn't wish that bug on my worst enemy )

Don't think of this as an attack on you - just an observation and my own experience on why it is not the thing to do .... even at the cost of wet boots....
