A member asked:

My husband accidentally ate a raw pork chop (he is colour blind). he has the chills and a mild stomach ache. should he see a doctor or should it pass?

Ingesting uncooked pork is concerning and, in view of his current symptoms, potential Trichinosis or other food poisoning is the issue with the latter being more likely. . I recommend that he proceed to the emergency room where prompt evaluation , consultants's advice and care are available.

That is unlikely, unless he likes it raw as he would have caught it on taste and smell or consistency and could have stopped eating it. His symptoms may or may not be related to ingesting raw meat, seeking medical attention is definitely advisable.
