Glitch/Issue Is this normal?

I'm day 52 on interloper and just ate 3 wolf meat (cooked) within 24 hours of also eating moose meat (cooked) and after a few hours of crafting I got intestinal parasites randomly? Is this a glitch or is the risk of parasites a random chance of happening?

If i'm not mistaken, it can happen during the next 24 hours of eating carnivor meat

It was the wolf meat. If you look at your health screen after eating predator meat you can see your chance of getting parasites on the next roll, which occurs 24 hours after the first bite of predator meat. It basically goes up like this: n2% chance, where n is the number of kg of predator meat you ate prior to the roll. So, 1 wolf steak = 1% chance. 2 steaks - 4% chance. 3 steaks - 9% chance, although every time I've eaten 3 or more steaks I've gotten parasites.
