Tricchinosis is the worms found in pork.... however they arent worms yet... they are microscopic eggs that are still dormant.

The roundworm Trichinella spiralis is killed at about 140 degrees F (actually at 137 degrees F). Because thermometers can be inaccurate, most experts recommend cooking to 150 degrees F.

* Trichinella is killed when pork is frozen at minus 5 degrees F for 25 days OR to minus 22 degrees F for 25 hours.

* All cases of Trichinosis must be reported to the CDC. In 1998 there were 19 incidents of Trichinosis reported in the U.S. Most recent cases are among Asian immigrants (trichinosis is almost unknown in Asia - so eating rare or even raw pork is of no concern) and many other cases are from wild game (as the cougar jerky).

* Trichinosis is not common in the US anymore, mostly due to changes in the methods of feeding of pigs over the last 30 years. (They don't feed them the raw intestines from slaughtered hogs ground up with their feed like they used to do - this was the main avenue of contamination on hog farms).

All meats from dead animal has diseases not only pork, they contain all types of bacteria that you can imagine. Furthermore they do have diseases and that is why we suggest that all meat must be thouroghly cooked. Even vegetables have bacteria and thats why the spinach scare in US put many on alert.Good luck if you are afriad then live with fresh air and water, that too might be contaminated.
