Self-beating blood pudding, pig blood soup, duck, goat… are all at risk of carrying disease
Dr˳ BS Tran Huy Tho, deputy director of Dang Van Ngu Hospital (under the National Institute of Malaria – Parasitology – Entomology), said that recently the hospital has received a lot of patients infected with parasitic diseases˳ infection, typically a disease related to the larvae of the pork tapeworm˳
The cause of infection with pork tapeworm larvae in humans is due to unsanitary eating, habits in some regions, eating raw and undercooked foods such as blood pudding, spring rolls, spring rolls, raw vegetables…
In mountainous areas, the grazing situation of wild pigs is still a lot, in the pig’s waste there may be eggs of fluke˳ When people or animals eat vegetables and foods containing fluke eggs, they will be infected with swine flu˳

Foods and dishes that are delicious but susceptible to fluke infection
According to Dr˳ Tho, blood pudding is not a food that helps to cool down as many people think˳ Eating blood pudding feels cool does not mean it helps cool down the body˳ “All kinds of blood soup, whether it’s blood soup from pigs, goats, ducks, etc˳, are actually live blood and contain many dangerous pathogens, from diarrhea, cholera, dysentery, streptococci, and worm larvae infection˳ flu…” – Doctor Tho said˳
Tho also said that many people who come to the hospital always think that eating home-made pig blood soup and homemade duck blood soup should not be infected with flukes˳ But this thinking is not correct˳
“The hospital has received many patients infected with parasites with brain damage˳ What these patients have in common is that they have been examined at medical facilities but have not been diagnosed with the disease˳
There are even many people who think they have epilepsy, stroke, or mental illness, so they have been treated in a mental hospital for many years˳ When coming to Dang Van Ngu Hospital, it was at a relatively late stage, the parasites attacked the body and brain, causing the patient to suffer many lifelong sequelae (loss of vision, convulsions such as epilepsy, etc˳)˳ ˳˳)” – emphasized Doctor Tho˳
If there are abnormal symptoms under the skin, small tumors in the muscles such as soybean or peanut seeds, headache, convulsions, or have ever had a bowel movement with a fluke, you should go to a specialized medical facility for examination˳ timely treatment˳
People who suspect a parasitic infection can go to specialized facilities for treatment of parasitic diseases across the country˳ Dang Van Ngu Hospital (under the National Institute of Malaria – Parasitology – Entomology) is a leading facility in the treatment of parasitic diseases˳
