Do Cantonese people eat at night in winter?
A side stove, of course!
It's really cool to have a warm hot pot at night.
Eat beef hot pot tonight.
Hang the dragon and engage in it.
Neck, engage in the inside.
Spoon handle, spoon kernel, three-flower toe, five-flower toe, chest fishing.
It's all inside.
Just thinking about it already starts to drool.
However. Ms. Zhao (not her real name) was not so lucky.
Recently, Ms. Zhao found that her stomach was uncomfortable, **itchy, and she discharged small white insects about 1 cm long several times, which kept squirming. So I hurriedly ran to the hospital for examination, and it turned out to be: Taenia bovine!
Teaching material**: Stool excretes peristaltic proglottids.
After deworming, the doctor spliced and measured the expelled tapeworm proglottids, and the whole worm body was 4 meters long! Later, Ms. Zhao recalled that she often bought frozen steaks to fry and eat, and ate hot pot shabu beef ......
Close-up of an adult tapeworm bovine.
1. The body of the tapeworm can reach 8 meters long!
The larvae of the tapeworm cysticerci parasitize the muscles of animals such as buffalo and cattle. If beef has tapeworm larvae, people can become infected if they eat undercooked beef.
Life history of Taenia solium.
After 8-10 weeks of larvae entering the human body, they will develop into adult tapeworms in the small intestine, which can grow up to 4-8 meters long in the human body, and will be excreted with the stool after the pregnancy nodes of the tapeworms fall off.
Ms. Zhao expelled a small white worm about 1 cm long, which was actually a pregnant joint, and only pulled out a small part of the worm! Imagine for yourselves ......
About 5 meters long band tapeworm.
2. Be careful when pooping and discharging "noodles", ......
Some patients may experience epigastric discomfort, indigestion, nausea, bloating, diarrhea or weight loss, and long-term infection may also cause intestinal obstruction, intestinal bleeding and intestinal perforation.
Look at the gestation of the tapeworm bovine again.
The gestational joints of the tapeworm solium are highly mobile and often escape spontaneously**, and white gestational joints (shaped like lasagna) can be found in the feces.
If you suspect that you have symptoms of parasitic infection, you must go to the hospital in time.
Finally, I would like to remind all old friends in Guangdong.
Playing the side stove to remember:
Food safety. Buy beef in regular places).
Do not eat raw. Beef should be thoroughly cooked).
Separate raw and cooked. Cutting boards, knives separated).
Pay attention to hygiene. Wash your hands before eating).
World Neglected Tropical Diseases Day 2024.
Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are an ancient impoverishing disease with 21 diseases and groups defined by the World Health Organization as neglected tropical diseases. 30 January 2024 is the 5th World Day of Neglected Tropical Diseases, with the theme "Together, Action, Elimination".
In NTDS, the epidemic of native foodborne parasitic diseases, mainly liver flukes, pinworms, hookworm disease, tapeworm disease, etc., is still relatively serious in our province, especially liver flukes are widely prevalent in our province and a large number of infected people. In most areas of our province, there are eating habits such as eating raw fish, fish fillet porridge, and using fish fillets to make side stoves, and eating raw or undercooked fish is easy to be infected with liver flukes.
Stool examination for eggs is the gold standard for diagnosing soil-foodborne parasitic diseases such as liver flukes and hookworm disease.
