Dr. Samah Noah, a veterinarian, head of the counseling department at the Veterinary Medicine Department at the Martyrs Center in Monufia, warned against eating raw or unripe liver, pointing out that eating it raw exposes a person to infection with the worm worm, in case the slaughtered animal was infected with it.
Samah explained, in exclusive statements to “The Seventh Day,” that the fasciola is a worm that infects the animal’s liver like a leaf, and is transmitted to humans if it consumes the liver raw or immature well, and the infection is transmitted to the animal by eating any plant or fresh vegetables such as lettuce and watercress. After eating, the worm completes its life cycle after eating and the adult full worm lives in the bile ducts of the liver, and sometimes causes bleeding under the protective membrane of the liver, or causes its cirrhosis, which affects the general health of the animal.
And she continued: This is evident in the enlargement of the liver and the yellowing of the eyes and face, and in some cases the life cycle is not completed in its normal form, and it goes with the blood and reaches any of the vital organs of the body such as the lungs, the spleen or the kidneys, and it may reach the brain or the heart and sometimes the muscles and cause Severe tumors and pains in these places, but they remain as larvae as they are and do not reach the infectious stage, and they cause a serious disease called halzone, if a person consumes the liver of an infected animal with hepatic worms.
She pointed out that if the person did not notice that the animal was infected with this worm, but did not eat the liver until after it was well matured, the infection would not be transmitted by Fasciola liver disease to him, because “good cooking” would kill the parasite, but eating a raw liver infected with live liver worms would result in disease. ” Halazone, to cause live adult worms to attach to the throat and cause an edematous tumor around the throat and throat that leads to suffocation, difficulty swallowing, and major problems.
