I am a qualified meat inspector and have also done a lot of pig hunting. This is quite correct. Most parasites are found in the gut and most diseases are dealt with through hygiene, cooking and correct dressing. A good start is to only take parts like hind legs that can be removed without opening the gut. . I have eaten a lot of wild pig and am not concerned. Hygiene during dressing and good storage procedures are the most important. You will have just as many parasites as the pig.

Shoulder and the neck, best bits of an oinker. (Off topic but same for deer).
Wasted by too many on lots of game hunting to just take the easy bits.
