Which of the following is NOT a symptom of trichinosis?

Trichinosis is an infection caused by the consumption of undercooked or raw meat containing the larvae of the Trichinella parasite. It primarily affects the muscles and can lead to a range of symptoms that are typically associated with muscle and gastrointestinal responses.

Muscle pain is one of the hallmark symptoms because the larvae encyst in muscle tissue and create inflammation. Fever often occurs as the body responds to the infection, indicating an immune response. Diarrhea can also occur, especially in the early stages of the infection when the larvae first invade the intestines.

Neurological symptoms are not typically associated with trichinosis. While the disease primarily affects the muscular and gastrointestinal systems, it does not cause the neurological issues such as seizures or severe neurological deficits that can be seen in other infections. This is why it is accurate to say that neurological symptoms are not a symptom of trichinosis.
