A member asked:

Can you get intestinal worms from eating undercooked chicken?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Highly unlikely: This is not an accepted risk of ingestion of undercooked chicken. Salmonella infection, however is well documented as a potential consequence of ingestion of this material, as it is for raw or undercooked chicken eggs.
