 | | The most frequently affected muscles are the muscles outside the eye (extraocular muscles) that control eye movements; the muscles of the jaw, neck, and upper arm (biceps muscle); the muscles of the lower back (lumbar region); and the diaphragm, which is the muscle that separates the abdominal and chest cavities and aids in breathing. | | | In addition to medications for pain relief, trichinosis can be treated with drugs that are called anti-worm medications or anthelminthics. | | | Two related anti-worm medications, mebendazole (Vermox) and thiabendazole (Mintezol), have been reported to be effective against intestinal larvae, but not against larvae encysted in the muscles. |

| | The parasites live and reproduce in the intestines and their larvae can make their way into the bloodstream and travel to the muscles causing pain, fever, muscle deterioration and even death. | | | * Trichinosis is not common in the US anymore, mostly due to changes in the methods of feeding of pigs over the last 30 years. | | | In 1998 there were 19 incidents of Trichinosis reported in the U.S. Most recent cases are among Asian immigrants (trichinosis is almost unknown in Asia - so eating rare or even raw pork is of no concern) and many other cases are from wild game (as the cougar jerky). |
