I accidentally ate a small piece of raw pork kidney!is rabies infection possible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Eating raw pork: I am assuming this was a commercially butchered animal -and if home butchered - the animal was "normal" prior. With that caveat - it would be extremely unlikely that you would develop rabies. At the most you might get an upset stomach. Raw pork does carry the risk of trichinosis but good farming techniques have generally eliminated this . I don't think you have much to worry about.
