A member asked:
What happens if you eat a little bit of raw pork once? what's the after effect? can you die?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely that: You will die. Pork meat once contained parasites, so it was prudent to cook well. These days, port meat is safe and parasite free. But eating raw meat in general is risky because of bacteria, so it is best to cook to medium rare at least.
