Here is the CDC's fact sheet on trichinellosis, which is the primary foodborne illness caused by eating undercooked pork: Trichinellosis Fact Sheet | Division of Parasitic Diseases | CDC The risk of getting it is quite low--there are an average of 12 reported cases in the U.S. per year. The CDC disagrees with the USDA on internal cooking temp, but I'd go with the USDA's recommendation unless you want to eat shoe leather. |
I figured it had to be low. Otherwise I'd have had it by now lol. I'll have to bookmark that though.

Yeah. Mrs. O'Rights has expresly forbidden me from ever ordering scrambled eggs in public. The first time that she ever saw me doing it she thought that I was doing it just to gross her out. Nope, says I, that's how I roll. We've been married for...let's see...well, quite a few years now, and she still has not gotten used to the idea of ketchup on scrambled eggs.

Redneck.
But I do occasionally break out the Heinz and a bag of Ruffles.
