I'm always open to new ideas. If you can cite me a legitimate source - as in a laboratory or govt agency that says 137 - I'd be interested to see it. But I've always heard 165, so when some anonymous poster says 137 with no supporting evidence, then yeah, l'll happily dispute.
Anyone saying they slow cook to take care of the pathogen better rethink their method in case they get some infected meat, as the following was C/Pd right from the CDC (Center for Disease Control) website and has nothing in it that shows slow cooking of wild game will assure killing of the pathogen:
The best way to prevent trichinellosis is to cook meat to safe temperatures. A food thermometer should be used to measure the internal temperature of cooked meat. Do not sample meat until it is cooked. USDA recommends the following for meat preparation.
For Whole Cuts of Meat (excluding poultry and wild game)
Cook to at least 145° F (63° C) as measured with a food thermometer placed in the thickest part of the meat, then allow the meat to rest* for three minutes before carving or consuming.
For Ground Meat (excluding poultry and wild game)
Cook to at least 160° F (71° C); ground meats do not require a rest* time.
For Wild Game (whole cuts and ground)
Cook to at least 160° F (71° C).
For All Poultry (whole cuts and ground)
Cook to at least 165° F (74° C), and for whole poultry allow the meat to rest* for three minutes before carving or consuming.
*According to USDA, "A 'rest time' is the amount of time the product remains at the final temperature, after it has been removed from a grill, oven, or other heat source. During the three minutes after meat is removed from the heat source, its temperature remains constant or continues to rise, which destroys pathogens."
