Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Trichinosis is an infection caused by a parasite that can be acquired by eating undercooked meat, especially pork or meat from wild animals, which contains the larval forms of the organism.
Common symptoms: In an early stage, digestive discomfort may appear, and later muscle aches, fever, swelling around the eyes, and fatigue.
How to prevent it: Proper cooking of meats and hygienic food handling are measures that help reduce the risk.
Which specialist treats it? Infectious disease specialists focus on this type of infection, and the internist may take part in the comprehensive follow-up. If muscle aches and fever appear after eating undercooked meat, the most prudent thing is for a professional to examine the situation and provide personalized guidance.
