I went to skin a coon today and as I was cutting around the ankles I noticed a TON of little bugs around the flesh where I had cut. Should I ignore them or throw the coon out?

At First I thought they were fleas too, but I looked closer and they don’t look like any flea I’ve seen. They have straight Skinny bodys. About a centimeter long. Any another ideas? Thanks!
