Thank you Chie & Nozawa, for introducing rather rare foods.
Both animals remind me of interspecies interaction; I mean parasites. Oh but my thought is only biological impression. I hear that deer are spreaders of ticks and covered with numerous ticks. Is it true?
So Nozawa has a license for hunting. Great. When I was in Alaska, not me but my wife's boss and his postdoc loved to hunt moose. So I once helped butchering meat. Meat is then vacuum packed and put into a freezer. Actually, many Alaskan people has extra freezers like the one you see at your lab to keep moose meat or salmon they caught.
Moose meat was good as a stew.

ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely right.
I sometimes take home the heads of deer I have shot, and the bag with the heads is completely sealed. If you don't want hundreds of ticks spread around in your car, you need to do that.
This is just the head, so if it was the whole body, there would be quite a lot of ticks. I can't imagine.

ReplyDeleteI have never hunted and eaten deer. So, I felt that hunting, butchering, and eating a deer like Prof. Miyake and Mr.Nozawa was a very exciting and extraordinary experience.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if deer in Nara Park as tourist animals also have a lot of ticks.
