OMG my mom's finger that had a cut touched some un-cooked pork?

Question

Will she die?? what is the percentage of her dying because of that disease? is it a real disease?

Answer 1

She should be fine! But she can see a doctor if she is worried.

Answer 2

You are likely referring to your mother contracting trichinosis because she touched uncooked pork.  People get trichinosis by consuming (not touching) raw or undercooked meats such as pork, wild boar, bear, horse, seal, walrus, etc. containing Trichinella larvae.

Trichinella spiralis, cause of trichinosis, is an intestinal roundworm whose larvae may migrate from the digestive tract and form cysts in various muscles of the body. Infections occur worldwide, but are most prevalent in regions where pork or wild game is consumed raw or undercooked. The incidence of trichinosis has declined in the United States due to changes in hog feeding practices. Presently, most cases in this country are caused by consumption of raw or undercooked wild game.

People get trichinosis by consuming (not touching) raw or undercooked meats such as pork, wild boar, bear, bobcat, cougar, fox, wolf, dog, horse, seal, or walrus containing Trichinella larvae.

The illness is not spread directly from person to person.
