[QUOTE="Dry Rot, post: 7780728, member: 4505"] These old prejudices are usually based on practicalities. An old boy I knew fought behind the lines in Burma during the war. He told tales of how the native village pigs would follow you out into the jungle if they saw you carrying a spade. He warned any new recruits joining his section not to eat the pork or they'd be going home carrying passengers and spend time in hospital getting rid of them! I am sure most here can work out the connection! [I]Trichinosis is caused by eating raw or undercooked pork and wild game infected with the larvae of a parasitic worm. The contaminated meat is infected with the larvae of a worm called [B]Trichinella spiralis[/B]. The severity of symptoms depends on the number of infectious worms consumed in the meat.[/I] As an aside, I wonder if face covering has anything to do with the fact that human skin ages most rapidly when exposed to sunlight and nothing much to do with religion at all? So maybe they have a point? Or not in our climate! [/QUOTE]
