This site talks about trichinosis and how it can be transmited to hogs that eat coon or rat carcasses. It also outlined the treatment the affected humans received for the trichinosis infection. http://www.avma.org/reference/zoonosis/zntrichi.asp

"If carnivorous or omnivorous wildlife such as bears, bobcats, opossums, raccoons, or feral pigs are consumed by humans, the meat should be properly prepared by cooking, freezing, or curing to destroy any viable trichinae. Cooking to an internal temperature of 137oF is deemed sufficient for pork, while freezing at 5oF for 20 days, -10oF for 10 days, or 20oF for 6 days will kill trichinae."

Thanks for posting this. I was just dicussing feeding wild pig with someone today. So freezing it should make it safe. Now I am really looking forward to my sons next hunting trip!
