I always hear that pork has to be thoroughly cooked to prevent things like trichinosis and other parasitic infections. However there’s a lot of types of cured pork commonly eaten, right? Here in Spain everyone eats ham, lomo, chorizo and other stuff that is cured but essentially not cooked, and the few cases of trichinosis that happen are all from people eating game they hunt themselves. Is pork really dangerous?

The optometrist i saw last Friday did his residency at a prison. An inmate presented with eye pain. During the exam the dr could see tiny worms wriggling.
The inmate worked in the kitchen where he was stealing raw pork and of course eating it.
