Ham= tapeworm!
Watched the first episode of House and I totally freaked out!
I have been eating salad for lunch these days and I usually add ham into my salads. It's cured or cook pork, so I don't bother cooking it, not to mention that it turns dry and hard when cooked anyway.
But after watching House, I am never ever going to eat ham again! Everytime I see ham, I will see a bunch of tapeworms crawling around it.
taken fromhttp://www1.agric.gov.ab.ca/$department/deptdocs.nsf/all/agdex9741: Tapeworms (Cysticercosis) in Swine Cysticercosis is an infection caused by the pork tapeworm, Taenia solium. This parasite is found worldwide and is common in countries where raw or undercooked pork is eaten. ... The pork tapeworm can live for over 20 years, producing several thousand eggs daily. One tapeworm can shed up to 300,000 eggs per day. ... How Does the Tapeworm Harm Humans? The presence of an adult tapeworm in the intestine may cause non-specific symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea or constipation.Cysticerci have been recovered from all areas of the body. Symptoms depend on the particular body site involved and the number of cysticerci present. The most serious consequences occur when the larvae develop in the brain, causing a condition known as neurocysticercosis.
In the pilot episode of House, the tapeworm actually travelled up to the brain, died there, and caused the immune system to attack it. Thus, inflammation of the brain, leading to loss of speech, vision etc. The patient actually has tapeworms in her thighs too. GROSSSSS!!!!
