Checked on that with the CDC, said they did not feel it would be classified as an infectious disease, they did suggest that you should sit further
from the stage!!

Clarification is in order. These morsels are precooked to this stage, then when the order is taken they are finished on the grill. Bacon is one of
the few meats I don't eat medium rare.

the muslims and jews are pretty smart: safest to eliminate pork from your diet!

World distribution of Trichinella spp. infections in
(Hot from Italy about eating pork. Grazie!)
"World distribution of Trichinella spp. infections in animals and humans."
Edoardo Pozio
Department of Infectious, Parasitic and Immunomediated Diseases,
Istituto Superiore di Sanita
viale Regina Elena 299, 00161 Rome, Italy
Nematode worms of the genus Trichinella are one of the most widespread zoonotic pathogens in the world. Infection by Trichinella spp. has been
detected in domestic and/or wild animals of all continents, with the exception of Antarctica, where there is no record of the parasite. This global
distribution of Trichinella, together with different cultural eating habits, represents the main factor
favouring human infections in industrialised and nonindustrialised
countries. Major political and economic changes, revolutions and wars can contribute to an increase in prevalence among the human population.
Reliable epidemiological information on animal and human infections is not uniformly collected around the world. Only a limited number of countries
have implemented an official recording system for human
and/or animal infections in the last 50 years. In most countries, reporting of infection has been and continues to be on a voluntary basis and relies
on physicians, veterinarians, biologists, zoologists or epidemiologists who are working on these parasites. This often results in fragmentary
information.
The occurrence of trichinellosis in humans is strictly related to cultural food practices, including the consumption of raw or undercooked meat of
different animal origin. Therefore, most of the epidemiological
data and ad hoc surveys on Trichinella spp. in domestic and/or wild animals are related to outbreaks in humans.
Mexico
Human trichinellosis frequently occurs in Mexico from the consumption of pork from domestic pigs. According to published information, 766 infections
with 14 deaths were documented between 1952 and 1997.
The number of infections has likely been underestimated as suggested by a serological survey where 1.9% of 954 serum
samples randomly collected in a rural area in 1997 were positive.
The prevalence of infection in domestic pigs detected by artificial digestion in different Mexican states, ranged between 0.0% and 6.0% from 1986 to
1999.
Trichinella sp. infection is also present in domestic and stray dogs and cats and in synanthropic rats living nearby foci of porcine infection
T. spiralis was detected in slaughtered horses in the State of Mexico
No information is available on Trichinella sp. infection in Mexican wildlife.
United States
Before the Second World War, the prevalence of trichinellosis reached 36% in examined human cadavers and the main source of infection was pork
fromdomestic pigs where the prevalence of T. spiralis infection was as high as 11.0% in garbage-fed pigs and up to 0.95% in farm-raised pigs.
Only 72 cases were reported during the period 1997–2001. The sourceof infection was identified or suspected for 52 infected people: 30 (43%) cases
were associated with eating wild game (bear, cougar or wild boar meat), 12 (17%) cases were associated with eating commercial pork products, and nine
(13%) cases were associated with eating noncommercial pork from home-raised or direct-from-farm swine where U.S. commercial pork production industry
standards and regulations do not apply.
Trichinella spp. infections are widespread in wildlife (e.g. black and brown bears, cougar, raccoon, coyote, red and grey foxes, wolverine, fisher,
mink, skunk badger, weasel, river otter, and wild
boar) but the prevalence of infection varies considerably from one state to another.
The domestic cycle is currently very rare and infected pigs are usually from organic farms or from farms with very poor hygienic conditions.
T.murrelli is the main etiological agent of infection in wildlife, although T. spiralis is still present, attesting to the existence of the domestic
cycle in the past. The freezing resistant species T. nativa and Trichinella T6 are present in wildlife from states close to the Canadian
border. However, both T. nativa and Trichinella T6 have been also detected in wildlife living in the Rocky Mountains and Appalachians
T. pseudospiralis was detected in a vulture from Alabama and in a wild pig from Texas .
The only legislation in the U.S. regarding Trichinella are the processed product rules which govern cooking, freezing and curing methods for
ready-to-eat pork and pork products.
Special agreements exist with the European Union, Russia, Japan and several other countries which allows to test pork intended for export
using artificial digestion methods. A pilot ‘‘Trichinae Certification Program’’ is currently in progress in 50 states.
Canada
Trichinella spp. is widespread in Canadian both terrestrial and marine wildlife, but prevelance varies considerably from one province to another.
The yearly incidence of infections in humans is about 10–15 cases, due to the consumption of game meat from black bears and walruses.
There has been no documented report of Trichinella sp. infection in domestic pigs in the last 10 years
T. nativa and Trichinella T6 are predominant in wildlife, whereas T. murrelli has been detected only in the Vancouver area close to the border with
the United States.
Non-encapsulated larvae, probably T. pseudospiralis, were detected in a bird.
T. spiralis has been detected in Trichinellosis outbreaks occur for the consumption of walrus meat.
.
Trichinella sp. infection in wildlife. This information will greatly increase our knowledge on this zoonosis in the European Union in the course of
the following years.
In conclusion, Trichinella sp. infection in humanswas documented in 55 (27.8%) countries, but in some of these countries trichinellosis occurred only
among ethnic minorities and tourists, because the native inhabitants do not consume uncooked meat or meat of some animal species.
The average yearly incidence of the disease in humans worldwide is
probably close to ten-thousand cases with a mortality rate of about 0.2%; however, the number of infections is underreported in many countries due to
the lack of appropriate serological tests and the knowledge of the disease on the part of physicians.
Trichinella sp. infection was documented in domestic animals (mainly pigs) of 43 (21.9%) countries and in wildlife of 66 (33.3%) countries.
Information on the occurrence of Trichinella sp. infection in domestic and/or wildlife is still lacking for 92 countries.

In the interest of science, I consumed a Carnitas Torta NOB yesterday. I'll keep you posted. Does anyone know the incubation time for trichinosis?

Wessongroup's post a couple above yours says that 12 cases per year on average are reported in the US.
There most certainly is but one side to every story: the TRUTH. Variations of it are nothing but lies.

Symptoms
By Mayo Clinic staff
Abdominal symptoms can occur within two to seven days of infection. Other symptoms usually start one to eight weeks later. Severity of symptoms
usually depends on the number of larvae consumed in the infected meat.
Possibly no signs or symptoms
Mild cases of trichinosis — those with only a small number of parasites in your body — may cause no recognizable symptoms. Symptoms can develop with
moderate or heavy infestation, sometimes progressing as the parasite migrates through your body.
Initial signs and symptoms
You swallow trichinella larvae encased in a cyst. Your digestive juices dissolve the cyst, releasing the parasite into your body. The larvae then
penetrate the intestine, where they mature into adult worms and mate. At this stage, you may experience:
Diarrhea
Abdominal cramps
Malaise
Later signs and symptoms
About a week after infection, the adult female worms produce larvae that penetrate the intestinal wall, enter your bloodstream and eventually burrow
into muscle or other tissue. This tissue invasion can cause:
High fever
Muscle pain and tenderness
Swelling of the eyelids or face
Weakness
Headache
Sensitivity to light
Pink eye (conjunctivitis)
When to see a doctor
If you have a mild case of trichinosis with no symptoms, you may never need medical attention. If you notice gastrointestinal problems or muscle pain
and swelling about a week after eating pork or wild-animal meat, talk to your doctor.
There is no effective treatment to eliminate trichinella once larvae invade tissue. At that point, treatment is for symptoms only until the parasites
die on their own.

The only cut of meat better than a hunk of pork is a bigger piece of pork.
