A number of family members who shared a meal of bear meat that one of the family members had harvested earlier were subsequently infected with brain worms, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

    No there’s not, nowhere does a menu warn you of brain worms. “Consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish, or eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness.”. Any restaurant is required to obtain food from acceptable sources as well, which doesn’t include your uncle’s bear harvesting adventures. That’s the U.S. anyway, which I’m guessing you meant by “literally every menu.”. The warning also doesn’t have to be posted if everything is served “well done.” So it doesn’t even apply to every U.S. menu.

    If brain worms aren’t news and are common where you are, maybe you should get checked. Downplaying brain worms seems like something someone with brain worms would do.
