Undercooked bear meat to blame for infecting family with rare roundworm parasite: CDC

A family was infected with a rare parasite after eating undercooked black bear meat that was harvested in Canada, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.

"Persons who consume meat from wild game animals should be aware that adequate cooking is the only reliable way to kill Trichinella parasites, and that infected meat can cross-contaminate other foods," the CDC said in the release. 

The meat was then grilled and served with vegetables as kebabs. Two of the infected family members had only eaten the vegetables.
