The infection often does not cause symptoms in a man, but a male partner can reinfect you. Treatment is usually an oral antibiotic that your physician will prescribe for you and your partner. This infection occurs when the organism thrives and grows in the vagina. This tends to happen when the normal flora of the vagina is disturbed or out of balance. I have just returned from a visit to the Philippines, where I got sick after eating pork.
Trichinosis is a parasitic disease obtained from eating raw or inadequately cooked pork.
Symptoms can include gastrointestinal upset and slight fever within one to two days. This is followed by muscle soreness, hives, fever, chills, weakness, edema of the upper eyelids and bloodshot eyes by day 11. If you have had these symptoms and have reason to believe you ate contaminated meat, you should see a doctor. Trichinosis is not spread from person to person. Check the calendar.
