Trichinosis, also called trichinellosis, is caused by eating raw or undercooked meat of animals infected with the larvae of a species of worm called Trichinella. There are two main phases for the infection: enteral (affecting the intestines) and parenteral (outside the intestines). The symptoms vary depending on the phase, species of Trichinella, amount of encysted larvae ingested, age, gender, and host immunity. Symptoms include initial GI irritation followed by periorbital edema, muscle pain, fever, and eosinophilia.
