Symptoms of TRICHINOSIS
Immediately after eating contaminated meat there are usually no symptoms. Within two to twelve days, people that have consumed infected meat may develop diarrhea, abdominal pain and malaise. Nausea, vomiting and loss of appetite may occur. When the muscles become involved, there is typically muscle pain and tenderness. Fever, swelling of the face, itching and burning skin may develop. The symptoms may gradually disappear after 4-6 weeks. However, chronic involvement with the heart, the muscles and the brain may occur.
