I wouldn't do it in any other country that wasn't a highly developed country, but here I will under cook it. People were raised with the idea that pork is like chicken, it can't be undercooked or you will shit your brains out for 4 days then kill over dead. Basically, it can be done, but eat at your own risk. If you are fearful of Trichinosis, then cook it all the way through.
