webfact Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Thai doctors remove TWO METER tapeworm from man during surgery Picture: Daily News A Facebook post from surgeons at Bung Kan hospital in Thailand's north east could easily put you off your dinner, reported Daily News. A 79 year old man who had complained of pains in his abdomen was scheduled for surgery to remove a tumor from his bile duct. A camera was put down his mouth to facilitate this but when the camera was removed it was attached to a tapeworm that had been living in the area. As the surgeons pulled it kept coming and coming - two meters long in all! Tapeworms can appear in people after consuming uncooked pork, beef or buffalo meat. These are common in Isaan dishes such as Laap and naem. They can also occur after infection from animal feces in water or after contact with an infected person.

Burma Bill Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 5 hours ago, webfact said: Tapeworms can appear in people after consuming uncooked pork, beef or buffalo meat. For reference (Google):- The longest tapeworm ever removed from a human was 82 feet long, and was removed from a patient in India. The man had complained of abdominal pain for several months and had anemia. A tapeworm is a parasite (Diphyllobothrium datum) that can live in the small intestine and has the ability to grow rapidly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your rush to denigrate the local medical profession, there's absolutely nothing to suggest that the worm's host doesn't (still) have a bile duct tumor.
