Three shunks had worm parasites between the skin and body muscles in layers of fat. These worms were slender as thick silk thread and average length a-bout inches. I found them in bundles loops and cavers wound around each other from the tail to the head of the shunk. They were not the segmented type of worm parasite. The shunks seemed healthy.
