<<Actually, the article stated that the idea was that the blood from when the monkey was rendered entered the hunter's body that way (through a cut in the hand, or whatever). Not that it was ingested. :-)>>

I didn't read that article, just remembered something from a few years ago. The cut on the hand also makes sense. Used to hunt rabbits in this area for food a few years back. Never shot a rabbit before the first snow because that was supposed to kill the sick rabbits. Tularemia, also known as rabbit fever, was a blood to blood thing. Often fatal but if it wasn't it was a couple of months in the hospital. Gut them in the field and if the liver had white spots then you had a sick one. Newer drugs cured it quickly and then the rabbits got so sparse the disease died out.
