So the elk I shot when I was getting him broke down to pack out I noticed some weird white zig zag things in mainly the back straps and tenderloins but there is some in his quarters too. I sent a picture to the local fish and game officer and he sent it to the disease expert. It turned out to be "sarcocystis". Sounds like it's not harmful to humans but he also said he wouldn't blame me to discard the meat. I told him I worked way to hard to just throw it away and wouldn't feel right if it's really not harmful to humans. So my question is what would you do or have you had it before? From what I've read hard freezing or cooking until atleast 150° internal temp kills it also.
