The worm obviously did not come from bacon. Bacon is processed, cured, smoked and cooked.

My bet is that Rosemary is an illegal, and ate the pork in Mexico, or they are eating meat from feral hogs.

Pork from the modern commercial hog farms is parasite free and completely safe to eat. Pork from Mexico or from feral hogs is not parasite free or safe to eat if not cooked to the point of being vulcanized.

I looked at the video. Unfortunately, my home computer can't download the entire segment but it is flat in the frame I see which is reminescent of Taenia solium. Other parasites from pork could be the ascarids which have a tendency to migrate to wierd places or a renal worm of hogs which would be unlikely. Parasites in a specie that they are not usually accoustomed migrate to abnormal places because of the unfamiliar orientation.
