A 52-year-old man presents with a severe headache that he believes is a migraine. The doctor examined him carefully and was shocked. The parasites lay eggs that cause the brain to swell. Uncover the reason for what you eat
Yesterday (March 8, 2024) on a foreign news website. The story of a 52-year-old Florida patient was published in a medical journal after he had been suffering from severe headaches all week.
At first he thought it was a migraine. Until the doctor examined her carefully and found that there were cysts in both hemispheres of the brain. Besides the swelling, the reason is “the tapeworm laying its eggs in the brain” and the origin of the tapeworm. That is, he always loved eating tender, raw bacon.
Fortunately, the cause was known and was treated immediately. The doctor treated him with the anthelmintic albendazole, which improved his symptoms within two weeks.
The researchers revealed that in the past it was unusual to find infected pork. In the United States of America, which may have a public health impact, according to the CDC, if a person infected with parasites does not wash their hands well after defecation, they can then spread the parasite eggs to other people in the home, especially through food.
However, this condition can be prevented. But there are still many Americans at risk from these health threats. An average of 1,000 people are hospitalized annually.
