How can I prevent trashiness's?

Cook meat products until the juices run clear or to an internal temperature of 170 o F.

Freeze pork less than 6 inches thick for 20 days at 5 o F to kill any worms.

Cook wild game meat thoroughly. Freezing wild game meats, unlike freezing pork products, even for long periods of time, may not effectively kill all worms.

Cook all meat fed to pigs or other wild animals.

Do not allow hogs to eat uncooked carcasses of other animals, including rats, which may be infected with trichinellosis.

Clean meat grinders thoroughly if you prepare your own ground meats.

Curing (salting), drying, smoking, or microwaving meat does not consistently kill infective worms.

Was telling the kids that freezing for 20 days would kill the worms and they were afraid I meant that this woman had to keep her head in a freezer for 20 days.

Some of the stores are now selling THREE cutting boards. One for meat, one for vegetables and one for bread. They come together for one price.
