Is there any statistic on the rate of occurrence on any of those?

Is it 1 in 5, 1 in 10, 1 in 10,000....?

Not being difficult, I'm genuinely curious.


That would be interesting to know. I'd bet accurate statistics would hard to come by, being largely based on self-reported incidents. I remember from my days pushin' pork for a prodigious packer, that trichinae are killed at 137 degrees F. The other nasties, I'm not so sure about.

Trust me, if we lived down 'mongst 'em, we'd sure shoot a whole lot more of 'em. grin
