Eeeks!!!!! I haven't come across anywhere that mentioned parasites in smoking. Do you think that smoking at a low temp and then near the end raise the temp up so the meat would get to 140+ degrees would kill parasites?

Toxic? Do you mean if they are killed off you would still be poisoned by their residue?
