Trichinosis is caused by the ingestion of larvae of the Trichinella parasite, typically found in undercooked or raw meat, especially pork and wild game. When consumed, the larvae invade the intestinal wall, mature, and reproduce, leading to various symptoms such as gastrointestinal distress, fever, and muscle pain. Proper cooking of meat to safe temperatures can effectively prevent trichinosis.
