Not magots - but pork is known to have tape worm which can be very dangerous since the larva does not die even on cooking.

No, but there used to be a problem with pork containing the worm that causes Trichnosis and pork had to be well cooked to eliminate this but with today's sanitary hog raising, that is no longer a problem and pork can be eaten even if still pink on the inside.

They have tape worms which could cause trichinosis if the pork is not fully cooked.
