Don't think bacon: from 3 years ago will cause death Per Mayo "If you have a mild case of trichinosis with no symptoms, you might not need medical attention. If you notice gastrointestinal problems or muscle pain and swelling about a week after eating pork or wild-animal meat, talk to your doctor." See: http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/trichinosis/basics/symptoms/con-20027095. Sx's are usually w/i 8
