Arrr, 'tis important to properly cook all yer raw meat, lest ye risk trichinosis and other infectious illnesses, says Dr. Aaron Glatt from Mount Sinai South Nassau Hospital. The CDC also be warnin' that meat with Trichinella worms can cross-contaminate other food items, so cook with caution, ye scurvy dogs!Experts be sharin' tales of these cases, includin' a man who got sick after eatin' black bear kabobs at a family reunion.
