Any other meat maybe. BIG HUGE MAYBE.

But pork hell no. I love pork I am Serb it's like our thing to roast a pig but man... Is it not one meat with biggest chance of having parasites if not uncooked... Along with some fish and all ya

I don't doubt they take care of that however... In my mind is no no no haha

I mean you shouldn't buy it from sketchy places. These parasites are nearly extinct here

They absolutely are not.

20 cases in the last couple of years. By ~500 million butchered pigs.

Bullshit. Almost fifty percent of people in Germany are infected with toxoplasmosis gondii. That's just one parasite. Vegetarianism being a preventing factor btw, pointing heavily to undercooked meat.

No, it is absolutely transmitted by eating raw pork.

Similarly, Hackepeter or Mett, a German dish made of raw minced pork meat, is more popular and consumed more frequently in eastern Germany compared with western Germany. This dietary preference was linked to a higher T. gondii seroprevalence in the human adult population in eastern Germany

But you agree that you do get parasitic infections from eating raw pork.

[u/user-the-name → u/[deleted]]

Not according to the data I literally just linked.

How would not eating meat prevent a Human from being infected by a cat?

Perhaps read the comment you originally responded to again. Slowly. Word for word. Let me now if you need help you need clarification on what any of the words mean.
