The government is just covering its ***, that's all. Any institution, for the most part, is going to tell you the *safest* way to do things. Same reason restaurants have warnings about consuming *under cooked* meats. I eat steak medium, which has its center below the 160 degree mark (somewhere around 140). I've also gotten food poisoning from chicken before, which was supposedly cooked to the 160 degree mark. So based on experience, I've had better luck with the so called unsafe foods.
The drying process will kill worms cause they need moisture to live. It will also kill off and inhibit future growth of bacteria for the same reason.
