Overview
Common risk factors in the development of trichinosis disease are: consuming raw or undercooked meat, informal meat transportation, age, antimicrobial free/organic pork and hunting practices.[1][2][3][4][5]
Risk factors
Common risk factors in the development of trichinosis disease are:
Consuming Raw or Undercooked Meat
Age
- Predominance of infection in adults probably results from culture-driven food behavior. Improperly cooked or prepared meat dishes may be more commonly eaten at adult-oriented events, particularly if alcohol is consumed.[2]
Antimicrobial Free/Organic Pork===
Hunting Practices
- In some countries such as Papua New Guinea, hunting practices lead men to eat undercooked meat regularly. [5]
