Apparently trichinella lies around in muscle of all of the random exotic animals that most people wouldn't normally eat... things like bear, wild boars/pork (like in Sketchy Micro), big cats, foxes, dogs, horses, seals, walruses. In case you needed another reason to not hunt and consume these animals?
how to rule out the others:
we would see eosinophilia, but obvi this wouldnt tell us which helminth is involved
Trichinella larvae bury themselves inside muscle tissue rather than remain in the intestine as in other roundworm infections, so stool sample tests don't often show evidence of the parasite
gram stain of stool is a pretty nonspecific test used for campylobacter enteritis; this dude doesnt have diarrhea xray of muscle aint gonna tell u a thang lolz

Muscle pain + periorbital edema is a classic presentation for trichonella spiralis. Best diagnosis for this is a muscle biopsy, as the wormy likes to hangout within the muscles.
