Trichinosis is disease caused by ingestion of the Trichinella spiralis, a species of roundworm, larva in undercooked pork. Trichinosis can be prevented by irradiation of pork or cooking pork until it has sustained an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit for more than 15 seconds or a lower temperature for an extended period of time. Symptoms of Trichinosis include fever, edema, sore muscles, and ocular hemorrhaging.
