PIG WORM the scientific name is Trichinella spiralis, and is a species of nematode (or nematode) of the class Adenophorea that produces a disease known as trichinellosis, trichinosis or trichinhiasis. It encapsulates inside the muscles producing great pain causing death if left untreated. For this reason and because there was no cure in ancient times, the Jewish and Muslim religions prohibited the consumption of pork, giving religious arguments to provoke fear of sinning.
