How to Kill Roundworms in Humans

Trichinosis (roundworm infection) is a parasitic disease caused by contaminated meat. Undercooked meat contains worm larvae, which travels to the intestines after ingestion. The worms spread to tissue and muscle and replicate in the host. The infections are most common in rural areas where meat is poorly preserved.
