I’ve never seen anyone infected with trichinosis from undercooked pork. When I lived in Alaska I treated a man who had become infected from eating undercooked grizzly bear and read of a family who got it from consuming fermented walrus flipper so MAKE SURE your holiday grizzly bear roast and the fermented walrus flipper snacks are well done!
And make sure that grizzly bear is REALLY dead before you drag it into your igloo!
“ eating undercooked grizzly bear ”
I always take mine to 160 degrees .
When I lived in Alaska a bush family all got botulism from eating a (IIRC) dead beaver they found behind the stove.
When I was young, we bought pork spare ribs from a local butcher shop/super market. My dad cooked them on an outdoor grill. The whole family came down with trichinosis with the exception of a sister who did not eat pork. I recall that my parents were so sick they risked dying from it. I was terrified of pork from then on.
Those AK natives can eat some pretty putrid stuff. My wife lived in Anchorage for 16 years and worked at the Alaska Native Medical Center and has plenty of stories to tell.
