Re: Meat into Vinegar experiment revisited

Hello.

Re:
"
Fantastic slides. Thank you.
"

You're welcome.


"
The first long tubular looked like a beef tapeworm, the head seemed enlarged and to have suckers, scoliosises I think they are called.
"

Looks something like it, doesn't it?
I think you probably mean 'scolices'. Even the name sounds like something nasty.



"
The octipus shaped organism really stumped me, maybe that is what variable schisotomas, sp? look like, blood feeders. There are so many different parasite variations.
"

You know, Schistosoma happens to be one of the suspects, but I just don't have enough data yet. These things have been very elusive, whatever they are.






"
The 3rd long organism looks like a common roundworm.
The round organism looks like an encased encysted egg sac.
Usually tapeworm, ringworms, schisotomas, etc all go together, whipworms, threadworms, hookworms jump on board too in an infected human or animal.
"

I agree.






"
Did the acv kill these micro organisms? Were they moving, living, once put in acv for 15 minutes?
"

You know, it's funny that I didn't record the type of vinegar that I used, and I don't have the bottle anymore.

Regarding the structures, I didn't see anything moving at any time. Of course that is no absolute proof that there was nothing biologically active in the samples.





"
I would like to think the acv would kill them.
"

I would as well. I believe that a (maybe not so) simple experiment could reveal what actually happens.






"
Maybe that is why people cured and pickled things in vinegar or even with lye.
"

Ancient wisdom is NOT to be ignored. I don't know if people were aware of why they followed some peculiar customs, but I'd say that perhaps 90+ times out of 100, those customs may have been life savers.







"
Freezing meat, I read, kills the organisms.
"

Should kill most according to what I've read, IF it's done properly.
I have frozen specimens at -10 Celsius for two hours and MOST OF THE TIME I haven't found further signs of any biological activity in them, probably meaning they 'died'.

I have read that some organisms resist quite a bit of freezing, like some 'Coccidians', for example.

Personally, I don't take any chances. If I don't boil thorougly what I'm about to eat and which I suspect may harbor "anything" in large numbers, I don't eat it AT ALL.





"
This is why it is important to have a good clean healthy working liver to get this stuff out of the body if consumed.
"

Extremely important, I'd say.

Thank you for the interesting photos.
