Doctors Pulled 700 Worms Out Of His Body

Pork and ham are popular dishes for the holidays.

But if they are not cooked properly, you could end up with hundreds of worms calling your digestive tract home.

A Chinese man named Zhu Zhongfa ate undercooked pork and unknowingly ingested

the eggs of the dangerous parasite Taenia solium. As a result, his life was turned

upside down as he started experiencing seizures and fainting episodes for weeks.

This eventually lead him to seek medical treatment for his mysterious condition.

Only one month after he consumed the undercooked pork, doctors quickly identified

the cause of Zhongfa’s seizures and fainting episodes. His body was utterly infected

with tapeworms. These unwelcome guests had made themselves at home in his brain,

lungs, and other parts of his body. The worm larvae had spread throughout his body via his bloodstream.

Doctors claimed that the tapeworm infestation is directly related to the undercooked pork Zhongfa

consumed that fateful night. He didn’t think much of it at the time, but the seizures and fainting

episodes prevented him from going to work. His occupation in construction required him to operate

heavy machinery, and his condition made it impossible for him to do so. The pork tapeworm

infestation had completely disrupted his life and caused him immense suffering.

Though Zhongfa experienced weeks of seizures, but he only sought medical help when

his condition became unbearable. When he was admitted to the hospital, he was foaming at the mouth and losing consciousness.

The larvae entered Zhongfa’s body through his digestive system and traveled

through his bloodstream to his brain and lungs. These baby worms squirmed

into his body tissue and formed cysts. If these cysts decay, they can cause infections.

People with this same problem as Zhongfa often report headaches, seizures, blindness,

and dementia. However, these symptoms don’t always appear immediately.

Sometimes it can take years for the worm larvae to reach the brain and lungs.

These larvae form cysts near the brain or nervous system, and it can result in a dangerous infection

called cysticercosis. In the case of Zhongfa, the larvae had caused numerous

space-occupying lesions in his brain, as well as cysts in his lungs and chest muscles.
