👉 Trichinosis, also known as trichinella spiralis infection, is a parasitic infection of the small intestine caused by the parasite Trichinella spiralis. This infection can cause severe complications such as liver failure and death in some cases. Trichinosis occurs when food particles are ingested and pass into the small intestine through the skin or mucous membranes. The parasites feed on the host's cells, causing inflammation and damage to the lining of the intestines. In
