Vegetables need
Vegetables are an important food source for each person's diet.However, at present, the problem of "dirty vegetables" with the amount of plant protection drugs and residual chemicals or parasites hidden in vegetables makes many people worried.
Vegetables should be cooked before eating.
In particular, green vegetables, raw vegetables, typically vegetables can also be contaminated with helminths.Vegetables need to be grown underwater will often contain more helminths, bacteria than vegetables to grow on land.Not to mention, many people have the habit of eating the root of the roots because they think that is delicious and economical.However, this is the dirtiest part, easily infected with parasites and cannot be completely cleaned despite washing many times.
Leaves and trunks need to be deeply submerged in water, difficult to wash, so they are dangerous to eat raw.It is best not to eat raw vegetables, remove the root, pick up the roots and deep leaves then wash thoroughly.When cooking, it must be well cooked and if dipped in hotpot, make sure you have soaked in salt water before, dipping in boiling water to ensure health.
Doctor Le Van Thieu - Department of General Infection, Tropical Hospital T.W (Hanoi) shared withEconomy & Urban, vegetables need to be contaminated with large liver tapeworm larvae and many other types of helminths.When eating raw vegetables, it is necessary to contaminate tapeworm larvae, the risk of disease is very high.
In the natural environment, the tail larvae and large liver tapeworms can cling to aquatic vegetables.Therefore, people often eat unpleasant cooking vegetables such as need for vegetables, coriander, water spinach, lotus or unprofotable snails that can cause large amounts of liver fluke into people.
"If you eat not cooked vegetables contaminated with tapeworm, through the gastrointestinal tract, the liver larvae are large into the stomach, down the duodenum, self -peeling and piercing through the duodenum into the peritoneal cavity to the liver, perforationThe liver and entering the liver parenchyma cause liver damage., stomach wall, abdominal wall " - Dr. Thieu explained.
According to experts, after the stage of entering the liver parenchyma 2-3 months, the flukes penetrate into the biliary tract, maturity and laying eggs.Here, adult flukes can parasitize and cause disease for many years (maybe up to 10 years) if not detected and treated.
In biliary tract, tapeworms can cause damage to biliary tract, bile, inflammation and secondary biliary tract fibrosis, may even cause bile carcinoma.
However, experts say that the number of helminths infections and parasites tends to decrease compared to the past thanks to limiting the use of the pond garden farming model but the severity of the cases.Still alarming.

Although the watercress is rich in nutrients, although it is rich in nutrients, crispy, sweet, extremely attractive, this vegetable is also easy to cause human disease if processing is not careful.In addition to carrying mud, bacteria are very difficult to completely clean, watercress also contains types of worms such as roundworms, hookworms, hairworms, needle worms ...

The warning signs of infection are not everyone knows
When entering the body, the larvae cling to the small intestine, parasitic and maturity there.The time from larvae into the body to adulthood is about 90 days.
When suffering from tapeworms, patients only get tired, mild anemia, health reduced ... When the disease is full, the patient has abdominal pain accompanied by diarrhea.Liquid stools, no blood, but mucus and many indigestible foods.
Patients often abdominal pain in the lower area, pain accompanied by diarrhea and may occur intense pain.If the patient has many tapeworms and is not treated, the disease will be worse, may be edematous, overflow in many organs and die in a state of exhaustion.
"When seeing the aforementioned warning signs, patients need to go to the doctor immediately. Detecting the disease and early treatment will make the treatment more effective, avoid unwanted complications," Dr. Thieu emphasized.
