Man discovers 3-metre tapeworm after rating raw meat PHOTO: หมอแล็บแพนด้า A recent surprising incident saw a man discovering a 3 metre long parasite in his bathroom.

PHOTO: หมอแล็บแพนด้า A recent surprising incident saw a man discovering a 3 metre long parasite in his bathroom. A local medical expert provided more information on the case, answering questions about consuming raw food and warning about the risks. Yesterday, a Facebook user named “Soamnoi Toyfun” shared images of a long parasite found in his bathroom, explaining that he never thought this could happen to him as he was a fan of eating raw food. He was stunned by the nearly 3 metre long worm, wondering how it could have made its way into his stomach. Subsequently, a renowned medical technician, Thanphakphum Dechkasdin, joined the discussion through his Facebook page “Doctor Lab Panda,” adding more details and raising awareness about the parasite issue. Dechkasdin shared that this was a tapeworm that came out of the man’s bottom. It likely originated from the consumption of pork or beef containing tapeworm cysts, which may appear like small, clear white, water-filled sacs similar to sago pearls. The transmission of the parasite could occur if people accidentally eat it or ingest cyst-contaminated ‘soi chud’ (similar to Thai beef tartare), ‘larb’ (a sort of Thai minced meat salad), ‘lu’ (a raw Thai soup), or uncooked, fermented sausage. Upon digestion, the tapeworm larvae will break free from the cysts and gradually grow into adult worms, attaching themselves to the intestinal walls. Symptoms of hosting a mature tapeworm may include bloating, indigestion, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and anaemia.

PHOTO: Facebook A witty motorist attracted attention when they drove around town with bags of durian hanging from their car. The curious incident was caught on camera by another driver who shared the footage on social media. The clip quickly went viral, with netizens amused by the driver’s ingenuity in keeping the famously aromatic fruit outside the vehicle while on the move. Yesterday, the TikTok user @mewmubha posted a video showing a white car with red licence plates cruising along a road at night. The car featured numerous plastic bags hanging around the body, drawing stares from other motorists. The owner of the clip was intrigued enough to pull up alongside the car to see for themselves what was inside the bags. It turned out that each bag was filled with the notorious Thai fruit, durian, known for its potent smell. The TikTok user captioned their post, “A red-plate Mazda that totally understands the struggle. They want to hide the plates but I love their creativity. #durian #wantingdurianisthecause.” It seems likely that the car owner enjoyed eating durian but did not want the lingering smell to penetrate their vehicle’s interior. The creative solution was to hang bags of fruit on the outside of the car as they went on their way, reports Sanook.
