A member asked:

Trichimonas, is it true u can also get this from eating undercooked pork?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Trichinosis: Is what you can get, which is a worm. But it is rare to get it from commercially available meat these days. Trichomonas is another disease, sexually transmitted, caused by a protozoan organism.
