o. F. kills all of deadly parasites.
Hogs fed on garbage, slop or
other feeds commonly used on the
farm often become infected with
the dangerous organism-Trichi-
nella spiralis. If one eats meat
of animals infected with this
parasite, he is very likely to be-
come ill from the dread disease
trichinosis. The danger of infec-
ton with trichinosis is the reason
why it is of great importance to
cook pork to the well-done stage.
Rare pork is especially liable to
transmit trichinosis.
