Might not be trichina, but lamb can carry *some* form of parasite like that.
One of my coworkers got badly infested with worms in his lungs after eating
undercooked lamb. The problem was further complicated by the fact that he
was doing a lot of traveling, and when he went to medical facilities to get
checked, he was in areas where such infestations are almost unheard of, and
the attending physician didn't make the correct diagnosis. But when he
returned to the Middle East, he was promptly diagnosed and effectively
treated. Unfortunately, it had taken more than two year before that
treatment, and he's got permanent lung damage now.
