Never seen this before. Started to skin and they just poured out. Heard of wristworm before, is this it? I made sure to clean my knives good and disinfected everything.

Those are really common in mink and otters too, in the joints.

Want to say they are guinea worms, but could be wrong.

Not uncommon. Very gross, but not uncommon.

Guinea woms don't effect humans and don't hurt the fur so they get skinned

We ate them and whatever other roadkill was available.

I don't have to eat them now and will continue my boycott on crockpot surprise meals !
