137 degrees Fahrenheit for trichinosis, 157 for salmonella. Legal limits
imposed by agencies like state Boards of Health assume a poorly calibrated
thermometer, so regulations generally aim at 140 and up for trichinosis (which
can appear in bear and armadillo, too) and 165 and up for salmonella. YMMV.
