Today I shot three rabbits.
When I was gutting these rabbits two of them had these things in them (these were in the lower intestine and in the lower part of the belly and two on the liver). They looked like clear sacks with a white or yellow dot in them(apparently the dot is a tapeworm head).
I later found out from the internet that these are tapeworm larvae.
According to everyone on the internet you can eat rabbit meat that have larvae in them. I guess the tapeworm just uses the rabbit as a transferor to dogs and cats. The tapeworm doesn't actually grow in the rabbit It just lives as a larvae in the belly and intestine.
When I was younger I would hunt rabbit all the time and I don't remmember ever seeing any of these. I just always looked at the liver for liver spots. I quit hunting rabbits because all the ones I would shoot had white spots on the liver and were inedible.
My question for all of you is, has anyone on here ever eaten rabbits with tapeworm larvae?
