In the US, tricinosis is pretty much not an issue anymore. http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dpd/parasites/trichinosis/factsht_trichinosis.htm Is trichinellosis common in the United States? Infection was once very common and usually caused by ingestion of undercooked pork. However, infection is now relatively rare. During 1997-2001, an average of 12 cases per year were reported. The number of cases has decreased because of legislation prohibiting the feeding of raw-meat garbage to hogs, commercial and home freezing of pork, and the public awareness of the danger of eating raw or undercooked pork products. Cases are less commonly associated with pork products and more often associated with eating raw or undercooked wild game meats. -- Kelly Kitty -http://www.dogster.com/?127210 / Moo - http://www.dogster.com/?127206 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/chihuahua/ " Lets talk about our wonderful little friends!
