I chop up ham and put in in my eggs with tomatoes and cheese...

Maybe the occasional pork chop or ham steak, but swine isn't a staple...

Trichomoniasis rarely is found in pork anymore due to the feed pigs are fed nowadays..... so you should be good without having to cook it to death...

"Infection was once very common and usually caused by ingestion of undercooked pork. However, infection is now relatively rare. During 1997-2001, an average of 12 cases per year were reported. The number of cases has decreased because of legislation prohibiting the feeding of raw-meat garbage to hogs, commercial and home freezing of pork, and the public awareness of the danger of eating raw or undercooked pork products. Cases are less commonly associated with pork products and more often associated with eating raw or undercooked wild game meats."


The deal is that all comercial label pork is 'Certified', meaning frozen to kill any of trichenella, the big pork suppliers simply cannot afford NOT to...

So unless its your pig, eat your pork med rare. I have been for near 15 years. No worries, mate.
