Yes that's fair, I can see how it was interpreted that way. The chicken example I had in mind was a specific one, and the chickens aren't wild at all just well cared for and extreme care is given to the preparation, I didn't have wild animals in mind at all which carry a whole bunch of other well known risks, only ones that are farmed in good conditions and used to prepare raw meat dishes every day across the globe.

If only more people were really aware of the health risks of consuming undercooked wild meat...

People do a lot of dumb shit. Some hunters still have a ritual of making a first-time hunter eat a raw heart from their first kill, which sounds like a great way to end up with a raging parasitic infection to me.
