Worms? Nope, old wives tale.So you hunt and then eat...bear? What does it taste like? The worms scare me.

“Thoughtless and careless”? Or, maybe I simply just cook my food properly, much as your multi-paragraph soliloquy suggests?Thoughtless and careless.
Well, for anyone else who cares about health and food safety:
"People most often associate trichinellosis with the consumption of raw or undercooked pork. However, in recent years, more cases have been associated with eating raw or undercooked wild game meats (such as bear) than eating domestic pork products. Trichinella parasites can infect a wide range of animals worldwide."-CDC
The eggs and worms embed in the muscles via bloodstream...that's how you get it from bears.
"Bears and other carnivores and scavengers in Alaska commonly carry the trichinella roundworm parasite, which can be transmitted to people who eat undercooked .."-Alaska.gov
"Initial signs and symptoms
You swallow roundworm (trichinella) larvae in tiny sacks (cysts) containing the parasite. Your digestive juices dissolve the cysts, releasing the larvae into your body. The larvae then enter the wall of your small intestine, where they grow into adult worms and mate. Digestive symptoms can begin 1 to 2 days after infection. At this stage, you may experience:
Diarrhea
Stomach (abdominal) pain
Severe tiredness and weakness (fatigue)
Nausea and vomiting
About a week after infection, the adult female worms produce larvae. The larvae go through the wall of your intestine and enter your bloodstream, They travel around the body and bury themselves in muscle tissue. Here, each larva coils up and forms a cyst around itself." -Mayo Clinic

No need to cook bear properly, for as you say, roundworms are just an "old wives tale"!“Thoughtless and careless”? Or, maybe I simply just cook my food properly, much as your multi-paragraph soliloquy suggests?
You do you.
