thanks for your query. consuming half cooked meat is really dangerous .this could cause you food poisoning,severe stomach upset.you may become infected with the toxoplasma parasite if you eat meat that is raw or pink and bloody in the middle. This can lead to toxoplasmosis, which causes a flu-like illness that develops several weeks after you've become infected.Undercooked meat can also carry a risk of food poisoning caused by salmonella bacteria.visit your gasteroenterologist for further treatment.
