What Is Trichinosis?

4. When Will Symptoms Appear?
Most stomach symptoms appear within the first few days after infection. Abdominal pain and discomfort are the first common symptoms, followed by further symptoms after two to eight weeks. Diarrhea and fatigue can last for several months, but most symptoms end within the first few weeks after the infection.
Many cases of trichinosis go undiagnosed. Unless severe symptoms are present, this illness appears to be a case of the flu or other common illness. The severity and length of symptoms vary depending on the number of worms consumed in the contaminated meat.
