Headache, muscle fatigue, man suddenly discovered full of worms in his body

Dr. Le Van Thieu, Department of General Infections, Central Hospital for Tropical Diseases, shared that the X-ray results showed that there were many worms in the muscles. This patient had a preference for eating raw and undercooked dishes such as fish salad, raw vegetables and blood pudding. Eating raw food is the way for worms to enter this man's body.

Previously, the patient had 3 courses of treatment for tapeworm and brain tapeworm.

Eating raw or undercooked food can cause worms to enter the body.

According to Dr. Thieu, when eating tapeworm larvae, they can move through the bloodstream to the brain, muscles and cause disease. Especially when tapeworm larvae reside in the brain (found in 60 - 96% of cases), it can lead to neurological diseases such as: Headache, epilepsy, mental disorders, visual disorders, physical weakness - memory loss, muscle spasms...

Warning about the habit of eating raw food, according to Dr. Thieu, "many patients think that home-raised pig, duck, and chicken blood pudding is clean, so they still eat it without knowing that they are at risk of being infected with worms and other dangerous pathogens such as diarrhea, cholera, dysentery, and streptococcus. In addition, raw vegetables, especially aquatic vegetables (celery, water spinach...) are also at risk of being infected with dangerous worms and parasites."

To avoid infection with worms, according to Dr. Thieu's recommendations, people need to keep their living environment clean; Eat hygienically; Do not eat uncooked food such as fish salad, blood pudding...; Always wash your hands with soap before and after going to the toilet; Limit free-range pigs; if raising pigs, you must follow the procedures for handling manure, or separate the raising area from the living environment; Deworm regularly.

"It is important to note that when people experience symptoms such as continuous headaches, dizziness, and insomnia, they should quickly go to medical facilities for examination and treatment," said Dr. Thieu.
