Trichinosis

Trichinosis is a sickness that can happen when people or animals eat uncooked or undercooked meat from an animal that has trichinella parasites inside of it. These parasites can cause people to feel sick because they can live in the stomach and then move into the body's muscles.

To avoid getting trichinosis, it's important to always cook meat to the right temperature and to avoid eating raw or undercooked meat. People who think they might have trichinosis should talk to a doctor right away so they can get the help they need.
