Huh. I didn’t realize tapeworms could travel outside the digestive tract. Apparently it’s much more common with “pork tapeworm” and this poor guy is thought to have gotten in this situation by eating undercooked pork.
Made me wonder what the AI overview would say when you google “you can only get a tapeworm from eating pork”, but it put the Sean Locke videos at the top and then and overview saying correctly that it’s not true.
A friend said there are no parasites (anymore) in European porc so you don’t need to over cook it, gotta try to find a credible source for that. He’s a chef and makes like lots of canned food and more on a semi industrial scale so It’s not nobody, but still I wonder.
Schweinemet (raw ground pork you spread on rolls) is relatively common in Germany. Kind of gross looking but I think it is quite unlikely to cause problems if you eat it quickly.
True, but it’s the most respectable source I came across when reverse image searching this meme. I guess we could have just stuck with the meme? It doesn’t give a lot of context.

Delightful!

That sounds like a risk I am not willing to take
I think trichinosis (sp?) is rare these days, but dunno about all the other wriggly stuff
Sous vide is always an option
I’ve heard that as well. It’s hard to figure out how many of the dissenting opinions are based on fact, and how many are outdated.

the glorious mettigel
The Daily Mail commenting on a social media post is about as legitimate a news source as “a guy that was shouting at the bins behind the pub said…”
