A 43-year-old man from Mainland China suffered from a sudden and persistent headache following eating hot pot, and even developed epilepsy. After seeking medical treatment, he discovered that he had more than 700 tapeworms in his body. Fortunately, he was fine following treatment. Doctors remind you to cook meat before eating it.
According to the “Mirror” report, a man surnamed Zhu in Hangzhou, mainland China, started to feel headaches and even had epileptic seizures following eating pork. After the uncomfortable symptoms lasted for more than a month, he decided to see a doctor. After examination, the doctor found that Zhu Nan had more than 700 tapeworms in his body, including his brain. The diagnosis should be tapeworm disease.
Zhu Nan revealed that he remembered eating hot pot regarding a month ago. At that time, the pork may have been eaten before it was cooked. Doctors say the infection has “caused damage” to the patient’s organs. Fortunately, tapeworms can be treated with laxatives and medications, but the dose and duration of treatment may vary depending on the severity of the infection.
According to the World Health Organization, when tapeworm eggs enter the central nervous system, they can cause neurological symptoms, including seizures. Doctors remind us that we often eat a lot of meat in daily life, such as roasted lamb and roasted pork. However, if it is not cooked well, we may eat tapeworm eggs and cause physical diseases.
