Horrifying scan shows what could happen to your body when you undercook your pork sausages
2024/09/04 Report

The horrible aftermath of eating undercooked sausages has been highlighted by a chilling scan that has done the rounds online.

We all know that undercooked chicken is an absolute no-no, potentially causing salmonella or food poisoning among other health issues.

Beef can be eaten undercooked as long as it's not raw, but what about pork?

It feels like there isn't a guideline on how 'done' pork should be, but the general consensus is that it needs to be cooked, and for good reason.

Dr Sam Ghali is an urgent care doctor from the University of Florida, and is known for educating people on social media about medical emergencies, its causes and how they can be avoided.

On Sunday (25 August) last week, the medical professional shared a horrifying image of a patient that had eaten contaminated meat, brought on by undercooked or raw pork, on X.

The scan reveals signs of a parasitic infection know as cysticercosis, which is when the larvae of a species of tapeworm enters tissues such as muscles or in the worst cases, the brain.

Dr Ghali explains: "It is caused by the ingestion of larval cysts of Taenia Solium, also known as Pork Tapeworm."

These form hard calcified cysts that feel like lumps under your skin, and they eerily light up like rice grains on medical scans, scattered all over your body, when it is called cysticerci.
