Can humans contract Bovine Tb from eating the meat of an infected animal?
It is unlikely that a person field-dressing or eating meat of an animal infected with bovine Tb could become infected. Hunters should practice sanitary precautions, including washing after field-dressing an animal. Hunters that suspect their kill of being infected should contact their provincial or federal agencies.
