I'm with Carl. My wife still gives me a hard time and the facial expression that says "don't go there" whenever I look a little too longingly at roadkill. (Most recently a fresh red fox on Norbeck Rd on our way home from Safeway.)
-- As for the freeze and thaw cycle when dealing with infestations in natural fly tying materials, I've done okay with microwaving feathers, no real harm - just be prepared for the cooked chicken (or other bird) smell. Also it helps to do a cleaning with shampoo and a hair conditioner rinse. Above all you want to avoid an infestation - I experienced one about 20 years ago and it was one huge PITA.
