This is really disgusting!
Recently, a man in Brazil had to go to the hospital for a detailed examination because he had a cough for two months.
This one is not tight, and I almost faint.
It turned out that after taking an X-ray, the doctor found that the man's body was full of dense parasite eggs, and whoever looked at the stomach would turn over the river and the sea, and goosebumps all over his body.
Not to mention ordinary people, even experienced doctors find it strange.
No, Dr. Victor, a doctor in Portokatu in São Paulo State, Brazil, who received the patient, shared the case on his personal social platform last month, making the world "disgusting".
According to Victor, the man was infected with cysticercosis, and the white dots in the X-ray were actually the remains of the calcified eggs of pork tapeworm.
Usually, the disease is caused by the cysticertail larvae, the larvae of pork tapeworms, usually caused by eating food or water containing eggs, such as eating raw vegetables or drinking unclean water.
But the doctor also said, in fact, cysticertail larvae are a zoonotic parasitic disease, everyone does not need to panic too much, usually according to the correct way to handle and cook meat, clean the food, drink hygienic water, can be avoided.
Although, as Victor said, these seemingly scary eggs are not a threat to the human body, everything is an exception and a case.
According to the characteristics of their parasitic heart muscle, skeletal muscle, tongue muscle, lungs, kidneys, spleen, lymphoid tissue, eyes and even the brain, in most cases, infected patients do not need to receive special treatment, but if it is causing fatal infections in the head and eyes, you should pay attention.
Because, if the parasite runs to the brain, medulla, eyes and other parts, in addition to causing headaches, hydrocephalus, epilepsy and other symptoms, it may also die.
So for the sake of caution, Dr. Victor finally arranged for the man to go for a head MRI so that he could be treated in time.
