According to foreign media such as Daily Star, Professor Sam Ghaly of Florida Medical Hospital recently posted a photo on his SNS, saying, `The craziest X-ray I've ever seen.'
X-ray images of male patients captured hundreds of calcified tapeworm eggs. Rice-shaped nodules are widely distributed from the abdomen to the knee.
Professor Sam said "The patient had no knowledge of the disease, and he came to get tested only after he felt hip pain."
The identity of this nodule was 'Cysticercosis'.
Cysticercosis is a disease caused by the invasion of the human body by larvae of 'hook tapeworm', also known as 'pig tapeworm'.
It is mainly infected by eating foods containing larvae, such as undercooked pork or raw meat.
Professor Sam says "This cyst can travel anywhere throughout the body and can also fatally penetrate the muscles and soft tissues of the hips and legs``````````````````````````````", he explained.
That can lead to fatal situations such as headaches, confusion, seizures and even death.
Professor Sam said, `Cysticerciasis can also be transmitted through contaminated water or human feces"Personal hygiene is important, such as washing your hands frequently and maintaining cleanliness, and you should never eat raw or undercooked pork."," he said.
