I had heard that story as well. The Dr said she either got it from undercooked pork...or not washing her hands after going potty. All I can say is... BURNT PORK ANYONE!?? 
Can I share something gross and weird that happened!? (BAD PIC ON P 4)

I might be able to tell something if you had a photo of it.

Hey cassandra, I don't suppose you have pix? You have me ferociously curious to figure out what they were... 
Pat, betting on fly larvae of some sort, concievably beetle larvae

Sorry, my fearless hunter flushed them all down the toilet. But heaven forbid we find another, I will take a pic.
I was googling images of maggots, though, and they do look really similar (from what I saw.)

I watched that video. That is a scary story. I never eat undercooked pork, I always wash my hands but apparently according to that story this is something that is happening more often. We only eat out a few times a year and now I won't even do that.
enjoy the ride

Trichinosis (spelling) used to be a really chronic problem with pork but has been pretty much eliminated in commercial pigs in the US due to good worming programs. I suppose that it will increase due to pork imports. Also chronic in omniverous animals like bear. It usually causes, if I remember correctly, an intestinal illness that resolves in a couple of days without treatment. Very very rarely can effect a person neurolgically.
I do wonder about the story , which I can't load on my computer, as the TV series House had that as a case a couple of months ago- seems rather peculiar since it is so rare as to be non-existant in the US. Just my suspicious mind I guess.
