Is it true that if someone was to pour rubbing alcohol on pork worms come out?!


Question: Alcohol doesn't produce worms, but if there are worms in the pork, the alcohol might drive them out. Pork is commonly associated with Trichinella spiralis, the microorganism that causes trichinosis, but the worms are small enough to live inside a cell, it's not as if a 3 inch long worm would come out.

I doubt it, but why would you do that? Either eat the pork or don't buy it and go vegetarian if you want to be safe.

i dont think so, i mean, unless it was real dirty, but cmon, be realistic, worms dont just start spewing out!

No, that is not true - it is just an Urban Myth.
