Can you get parasites from eating rare or medium rare steak?

Yes. The protozoan *Sarcocystis hominis* and beef tapeworm (*Taenia saginata*). The former resolves on its own after a few days; the latter sets up home in the colon and sheds a gazillion eggs, but is generally without symptoms unless one is heavily colonized with worms.
