When eating carnivorous animals there is a high risk of prions, worms and other diseases to be passed on. Raccoons are well-known carriers for rabies (I don’t know much about badgers). RFK Jr got his brainworm from eating carnivorous game.
I wouldn’t say “high”. Depends on where you’re hunting and the diseases that are known to exist in that area.
Although there is no evidence of CWD transmission from badgers to other animals, including humans, the possibility cannot be completely ruled out.
Chronic Wasting Disease, as in if a badger ate some diseased deer brain or something. But as of now, no evidence of it, so I wouldn’t call that “high risk”, but that’s just my personal risk calculation.
Trichinosis is a risk here, but as long as you properly cook the meat, so that it’s all above 75C, it’s fine.
RFK Jr probably ate some diseased thrash panda raw from the grill of his car.
