Cabbage, which looks very dangerous, these insects are a big enemy of your health, which can enter your brain and put your life in danger. It is important to listen to the doctor about this.
Neurologist Dr. Priyanka Sehrawat posted a video on her Instagram account and said, “Eating cabbage can cause brain worm problem, it is called neurocysticercosis and it is not that any worm is crawling in the brain. Rather, these are the eggs of a worm, whose name is Taenia solium.”
“Its eggs are present in the soil. They stick to fruits and vegetables growing in the soil. If you don’t wash them properly, the eggs get into your intestines and then through your intestines into your blood supply and then into your brain. And when they get into the brain, the brain tissue immediately reacts against them to stop them in place. “This causes swelling in the brain, which is seen in MRI.”
“This inflammation leads to seizures, brain worms are the most common cause of seizures in our country, especially in children,” he said. Neurocysticercosis is the most common infection associated with this disease. To avoid this, when you eat fruits and vegetables, wash them thoroughly.” He said that eating undercooked pork can also lead to the risk of neurocysticercosis.
