Fever
Individuals suffering from trichinosis may experience a fever, ranging from a low grade to a higher temperature. This can start in the first few days but may also appear or worsen after the infection has been in the body for a few weeks.
Checking body temperature with a thermometer can help to confirm that a fever is present. An abnormal body temperature is sometimes accompanied by fatigue and aching muscles or joints.
