The odds are that if you’re a hunter, you’ve found the occasional grub or two in deer. That’s pretty common and many deer parasites have absolutely no ill affects on humans. Still, it can be pretty useful if you know how to identify some of these common parasites. So put on your thinking caps and try not to gag as we dive into the crawly, wriggly, oozing world of deer parasites.

Oh and don’t worry, none of these will harm you. Where there are versions of these parasite that affect humans, those found in deer are generally safe, and the venison can even bu salvaged as long as you cook it thoroughly.
