oobar Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 In the early part of the last century in America, you could purchase magic pills, guaranteed to make you lose weight. The pills had an ingredient that was actually effective -- tapeworm eggs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

checkered flag Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 1 hour ago, JCP108 said: Pig <deleted> is used as fertilizer in Thailand. In Thailand, tapeworms live in humans and pigs (in the meat and feces). In the West, tapeworms have mostly been eradicated from pigs and humans. The eggs and worms also get onto vegetables when infected people handle them after not washing their hands when they go to the bathroom. Tapeworms are transmitted from Pig, Cow and fish from eating raw of under cooked meat. Although feces can transmit some infections tapeworms are not transmitted that way. Bacteria infections are another issue. In the US we have had several outbreaks from E,Coli in strawberry and other field crops, traced to Mexican farm laborers. Unlike China Thailand doesn't routinely use night soil as fertilizer and is much safer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was a roundworm it's most likely Toxicara canis. If it were a three segmented tapeworm it would most likely be H. nana. Neither are likely to infect humans.

macleans Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 According to the original article in dailynews, the survey was done last year (2019) in nakornsrithammarat, not nationwide. And it was hookworms rather than tapeworms that were the major culprit. There was no mention of tapeworms at all in the original article. Thaivisa news mistranslated it. I believe veggies sold in reputable supermarkets are safe, but rinsing in still required just to be on the safe side. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOAX Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Went to Korat yesterday to deliver a car for someone. On the way back today I jumped in to The Mall/Gourmet Market and there they had signs saying "Use gloves when handling vegetables" (or something in that nature). I didn't really think anything about it other than I had never seen it anywhere in Thailand before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe veggies sold in reputable supermarkets are safe, but rinsing in still required just to be on the safe side. Hookworms are transmitted by skin contact with infected soil, most commonly through bare feed. It a real problem world wide. The hookworm larva develop in soil (damp sandy soil usually) and penetrate bare skin. I suppose you could contact it by handling vegetables that were covered with dirt (not likely). Hookworm is a common problem with Thai children who go barefoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tifino Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 I do a headslap when ever I see someone; - wash the entire lettuce as a whole; and then knife-slice a portion off of it! - now imagine how many half-worms half-snails are in your meal? yeah, go for it with soak/washing it whole... - but then simply break of a desired number of whole leaves, and then individually wash agsain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
