The Daily Mail commenting on a social media post is about as legitimate a news source as “a guy that was shouting at the bins behind the pub said…”

Huh. I didn’t realize tapeworms could travel outside the digestive tract. Apparently it’s much more common with “pork tapeworm” and this poor guy is thought to have gotten in this situation by eating undercooked pork.

True, but it’s the most respectable source I came across when reverse image searching this meme. I guess we could have just stuck with the meme? It doesn’t give a lot of context.

A friend said there are no parasites (anymore) in European porc so you don’t need to over cook it, gotta try to find a credible source for that. He’s a chef and makes like lots of canned food and more on a semi industrial scale so It’s not nobody, but still I wonder.

That sounds like a risk I am not willing to take

In Japan, I’ve also had like medium pork katsu. So pork katsu not fully cooked. I’m sure there are higher quality porks different places. Def not something I will try in US.

I’ve heard that as well. It’s hard to figure out how many of the dissenting opinions are based on fact, and how many are outdated.

I think trichinosis (sp?) is rare these days, but dunno about all the other wriggly stuff

It’s always pork.

Truth to the legends… there’s a reason two separate religious codes banned consumption of pork.

Made me wonder what the AI overview would say when you google “you can only get a tapeworm from eating pork”, but it put the Sean Locke videos at the top and then and overview saying correctly that it’s not true.
