The doctor said Mr. Zhang’s brain “looks like a sesame seed cake”
May Day holiday 1 began, many people are traveling to eat, drink and play, but do not pay attention to the diet will “mess up the body” in minutes. The 30-year-old man Xiao Hu (a pseudonym) and 40-year-old Mr. Zhang in Chengdu, Sichuan, recently went to the hospital for long-term headaches, and found that there are parasites in the brain, including Mr. Zhang’s brain parasites are too dense to count, as if a “sesame seed cake”. The doctor pointed out that the two patients had eaten raw meat and fish, and the eggs entered the brain with the blood; and the only way to prevent parasites in the brain is to refuse to eat raw meat.
According to the Red Star News, Xiao Hu had eaten raw fish several times before his headache, and usually loves to eat snails and drunken shrimp. He had headaches for half a month and finally went to the hospital recently, where he was found to have three parasites in his brain.
Mr. Zhang had the habit of eating only air-dried, uncooked yak meat jerky for years, which caused the parasite eggs to enter his body repeatedly and finally caused the brain to be filled with parasites. Mr. Zhang had been suffering from headache symptoms for a month and took painkillers every time he had a headache, but recently he found that even though he increased the dosage of the medication, it still failed to relieve his symptoms, so he went to the hospital for treatment.
Song Xiaozheng, chief physician of the Department of Neurology at Chengdu Three-Six-Three Hospital, said the two patients had cysts in their brains, which are larvae of the pork tapeworm. Pork tapeworm is a common human parasitic tapeworm, when people mistakenly eat raw or undercooked meat containing tapeworm eggs, the human stomach acid can not kill the eggs, the eggs will begin to develop in the human digestive tract, and eventually with the blood circulation into the brain, liver, etc., causing the corresponding disease.
The physician reminded that parasites in the brain will induce epilepsy, optic nerve damage and other problems if not removed, and general salt, chili, wine, etc. cannot kill parasite eggs in food, so the most fundamental way is to refuse raw meat, raw fish, drunken shrimp, and cook food thoroughly to avoid parasites in the brain.
