A Russian returned from the Philippines and discovered that he had worms from street food (3 photos)

Doctors discovered cysts containing tapeworm eggs in a resident of the Moscow region.





A resident of the Moscow region went on vacation to the Philippines. He relaxed on the islands with all his might. The man, of course, did not deny himself the pleasure of trying the local cuisine. Street food in the Philippines is not clean. The cooks are not wearing gloves, and no one checks them there. Despite the risk, the 29-year-old Russian had a good rest and ate in dubious establishments.



As one would expect, the man became ill in Russia. He lost his appetite and suffered from vomiting and severe abdominal pain. He didn’t see a doctor for several weeks, but when it became unbearable, he did an ultrasound. A CT scan showed three large formations in the patient’s liver, one of which had reached such a size that it was about to burst. These turned out to be cysts containing parasite eggs. If they burst, it could lead to death.



The operation lasted three hours. At the doctor's appointment, the guy admitted that he ate a lot of strange local street food. Now the person is recovering after surgery, without any extra residents in the body.
