Yes I've eaten raw bacon and it was home grown and not smoked. It is one of our ethnic foods, but instead of pure fat we'd eat bacon because all the fat was saved for rendering.
One of the traditional foods in our basket that gets blessed and eaten after the service Easter morning is raw paprika bacon.

I don't believe I want to take the chance of worms eating holes in my brain. Looks like you have a better chance of winning the lottery. But as long as we are now smart enough to startem fire and, mmm, cookem meat, I will have mine well-done TYVM.

If you like baked bacon try making pig candy. Google pig candy to find many ways to make it, here is one...

Sanza, do you care to share what ethnicity and what is paprika bacon? It sounds interesting and I have never heard of paprika bacon but it sounds good.

Reading down thru here, I was surprised how many posts it took before anyone mentioned trichinosis. Don't eat raw pork, rabbit, some other meats because of the trichinae worm, which is in the muscle of the meat and can transfer to humans. It's a bad, bad thing, tho not common any more, it is still there. It is destroyed by proper cooking.

Raw Bacon
not my thing. I have to have my hamburger cook too. Now a steak I prefer you knock the horn off, wipes it butt, and slap it to a plate. Its even better if you can catch a little moo with it.

We cure and smoke our own pork bellies but I need it cooked. I can barely stand handling raw meat; something about it makes me queasy.

My siblings and I did when we were youngsters, we didn't know you couldn't Mother was the sole provider for her four children and bought bacon scraps. You could buy these in five pound boxes back then. After school we would snack on a piece of raw bacon to hold us till supper.

I like my steaks medium rare, but my bacon I like crispy, almost to the point of being burned.

Skippers?
The caribou was fresh, we were butchering the quarter in that photo.

yup that was my thought but there is also tape worm... and probably a few others.
I do like my red meat rare, that includes my scovy duck.
I usually cook wild game through but did a whole shoulder off a young buck on the grill. Salt,pepper,garlic and onion bit of old bay.
it ended up medium rare.had the coals a little hot.
the GF ate some of the better done pieces which she liked.
I pretty much devoured that thing by myself on potato bread with grated horse radish.  it was good!

LOL! I now remember the scene in "The Savage Innocents" when Anthony Quinn the Eskimo offered the preacher a plate of maggot infested meat as a highly-prized gift.
To answer your question, the meat I was eating had no maggots. Even tho my arctic adventure took place in the summer it was relatively cold (even for someone from Minnesota!). As you can see in the photo below, I was wearing a parka while I was having a noon time snack of raw caribou out on the tundra.
