Trichinosis is primarily associated with undercooked or raw pork, particularly from pigs that have been infected with the Trichinella spiralis parasite. Consumption of contaminated meat can lead to the transmission of the disease. It's essential to cook pork thoroughly to an internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C) to prevent trichinosis. Other meats, such as bear and wild game, can also carry the parasite if not properly cooked.
