Okay so, apparently my mom just cooked some pork bits (Like hamburger but Pork) And I asked if it was done so I could have some and she said "Yeah." So I eat like, ten pieces (They're small.) Then she comes up and looks at some and sees that SOME pieces arent cooked! I mean, still red!!!! And now she's getting mad at me saying I didnt check what I was eating! Anyway, what is the probability that I have about 900 parasites travelling through my stomach right now?:P How long would it take me to know if I did? Also, is it treatable, or am I going to die a horrible death?:) *Trichinosis*

Don't worry, USDA inspection of pork assures that it is less likely to have trichinosis than other meat products. If, however, the pork was from feral hogs, that is another story.

You really ahve nothing to worry about. For the most part you don't have 900 parasites in you stomach. I agree with the other answer about the Pork tending to be cleaner. But it is still important that you check what you eat and that your mom should of cooked it longer and checked it her self also.

You may not get trichinosis if it was high-quality pork, but if you do get sick it is cureable. Talk with your doctor, and read this wiki article:

Good grief, your mother is right. You should know better. You'll probably start throwing up, diarrhea, fever.
