Pork - Health Concerns - Pork is known to carry some diseases such as pork tapeworm and trichinosis, thus uncooked or undercooked pork can be dangerous to consume. The pig is the carrier of various helminths, such as roundworms, pinworms, hookworms, etc. One of the most common is Taenia solium, a type of tapeworm. Tapeworms may transplant to the intestines of humans when they consume undercooked meat from pigs or other animals. Pork may be the reservoir responsible for sporadic, locally acquired cases of acute hepatitis E (HEV) reported in regions with relatively mild climates. It has been found to transmit between swine and humans. #HealthIzWealth
