    You wouldn’t.

    Beef isn’t too bad to be eaten raw, but pork has bacteria and parasites that are much more dangerous to humans. That’s why some religions ban eating pork. It keeps their followers alive.

        Some people in Germany regularly eat raw pork. The rest of Europe cook their pork thoroughly.

          25% of the world’s population has toxoplasmosis. The main distribution vector is cats. That’s why we all love cats!

                Incorrect.

                Yes, healthy people hardly ever notice the disease. However, the infection can have serious consequences for them if their immune system is weakened, for example if they have an organ transplant or if they contract AIDS. The parasite can then become active again and cause brain inflammation.

                If the mother becomes infected with this pathogen during pregnancy, it can be transmitted to the unborn child, and the unborn child also becomes infected and suffers developmental disorders. This leads to the unborn child being born deformed or a miscarriage occurring.

                  Cool story. But again, 25% of all population are infected. And side effects are pretty much non existent.
