Trichinosis has been eradicated from the commercial pork supply in developed countries for a while now. This means that pork can be cooked medium or even rare without the risk of parasitic infection.

With that said, I've seen someone actually say, "pork has to be well done! I'm not even trying otherwise!" while ordering uncured bacon, cooked floppy.

Meanwhile in Brazil... I had a colleague back in high school who died of cisticercosis. I recently had to dislodge a parasitic mass from a patient's colon by hand. It was not cool. Parasitic infections are just facts of life back at the hospital... :/

I always cook my pork to medium. Still alive.

Beats me... I'm not a big fan of pork, to be honest, we don't even have bacon in the american sense of the word on a regular basis.

This is another one where knowing where your food comes from is important. I would never, ever, eat factory-farm pork below medium. I wouldn't think twice about having it medium rare from a local farmer who actually gives a shit about his product.
