Determine the chain of infection for the following scenarios and describe what you would do to break it. How could the disease have possibly been prevented? The Hunters Jeremy goes hunting with his friends. Luck was on his side today and he was able to shoot a doe. His friends were lucky too. Total they got 3 more deer to take home. Hours later Jeremy was home and processed the deer (skinning and gutting) so that he could freeze the meat for use over the next few months. A few months later, Jeremy ate his first patch of deer meat. Afterward he started experiencing stomach pains, diarrhea, discoloration on his ears and teeth. Jeremy’s family who also ate the deer experienced similar problems. Things are starting to add up. Jeremy gets a phone call from his friends (fellow hunting partners) and he describes his symptoms. His friend comments that he had similar issues when he ate his deer several months earlier. He said he never really thought anything of it because the symptoms eventually went away, and he thinks he had no long-lasting effects.
