There
once was a woman from Crete
Who
wondered about her burning seat,
Is it trichinosis*
Or trichomoniasis**
Since
both come from eating tainted meat?
*
Trichinosis is a
parasitic disease caused by eating raw or undercooked pork or wild game
infected with the larvae of a species of roundworm Trichinella spiralis,
commonly called the trichina worm.
**
Trichomoniasis is a
common cause of vaginitis. It is a sexually transmitted disease, and is caused
by the single-celled protozoan parasite Trichomonas vaginalis producing
mechanical stress on host cells and then ingesting cell fragments after cell
death.
