Trichinosis
The most serious epidemic of trichinosis on record happened in 1865. In the little town of Hedersleben, in Saxony, a butcher killed three hogs and made them into sausages. They were eaten by a large number of the inhabitants of the town. Several hundred persons fell desperately ill and over 100 persons died.
