Commercially raised pork has essentially zero risk of Trichinosis. Cases seen today are from wild game.

I've wondered about the risks of eating wild hogs. I've seen lots of videos of wild hogs being hunted and/or captured so I wondered about that.

I would assume any wild carnivore or omnivor to be infected. Bears are commonly infected, apparently. Cooking to internal temp of 140 F is sufficient.
