Doctor talks about the frightening consequences of eating undercooked pork
Pork is a type of meat that requires special care from those who prepare it.
Eating undercooked pork can cause serious health problems.
On his social media account X, an emergency room doctor named Sam Ghaly shared terrifying photos of a man who was abusing half-raw meat.
What happens if you eat undercooked pork
A doctor shared CT scan footage of the consequences of eating undercooked pork.
The patient had cysticercosis, a disease caused by a parasite called pork tapeworm.
When eating meat that is poorly cooked, the parasites enter the human body. And the photo published by the doctor shows numerous larvae that have settled in the patient's muscles.
The disease itself looks scary, but the human body often copes with the parasites itself. The exception is when the pork tapeworm larvae reach the brain.
