Many people believe that frog meat has a normal phenomenon, there is nothing to be afraid of. If you want to enjoy, we just need to get rid of the flukes from the meat. Is this really true? The answer will be revealed later.

Frog meat containing cysts is a normal phenomenon

We know that frog meat is one of the nutritious foods, however, frogs are also the most pathogenic parasite from the environment.

Because frogs mainly live in the fields and marshes - places with wet environments. This is a good condition for pathogenic parasites to proliferate. Along with that, these larvae are white - often mixed in frog flesh color, so it is difficult to detect.

According to many research papers, the proportion of frogs and clones that contain cassava larvae is as high as 75% . The scientific parasitic larvae, Sparganum erinacei , often live in the intestines of dogs and cats. Swallow eggs follow dog feces, cats mingle with the water stream, hatching hairy larvae, invading and parasitizing on crustaceans (Cyclops).

Summary of the biological cycle and birth of human fluke.

Individual tadpoles use water containing tapeworm larvae and crustaceans, which develop into frogs. The worm larvae have since invaded and resided in frog bodies.

Therefore, it will not be strange for you to catch the flukes who are fidgeting or playing in the thighs and meat of frogs and clones.

Some other worms and parasites also parasitize frogs and frogs

There are many types of worms and parasites residing on frogs. One of these needs to be mentioned is the Sparganum moth - which has a deep, ivory, opaque appearance, 3 - 50cm long, several mm wide.

Normally, it is difficult to distinguish the head, end or organ organ of the Sparganum. However, under the magnification of the microscope, calcified granules, excretory tubules, muscle fibers and nerves can be seen in the buffering substance as porous tissue.

The body wall consists of a shell covered with villi, two muscle layers and a row of radial directional cells. The upper surface of the case appears to be burned like a horizontal.

Flukes when entering human body exist as larvae, moving under the skin.

Adult adult parasites live in the frog's small intestine. When entering the human body through un-cooked food, they continue to exist as larvae residing in the intestine, forming tumors that move in the skin and soft tissue, often present on the face, eyes, palms, abdomen .

This tumor gradually turns into a small nodule or an edema mass, causing damage to the central nervous system such as perceptual disorder, hemiplegia, and coma.

In many cases, they move from the intestine to the eye, nesting in the eye. If not detected promptly and treated early, people will be blinded.

In addition to the Sparganum, frog frogs have Gnathostoma (Gnathostoma spinigerum) . After entering the stomach, the larvae will go through the stomach wall and move throughout the body, entering the eyes, liver, lungs, abdomen .

If the eye moves, the worm larvae will cause swelling, hemorrhage in the eyes, blindness. If they enter the liver, lungs, they will cause pain in the liver, pneumonia, pleural effusion, abdominal pain .

And ways to prevent frogs from worms and parasites

Frogs are a nutritious dish so many people find it hard to give up such delicious and nutritious food.

Therefore, in order to be able to eat frog meat, you need to clean the intestines and separate the only tendon lines on the frog's thighs to remove the hidden parasite larvae before processing them into food.

When the white areas on the flesh are noticed, the fluke should be removed, or the areas with the fluke are removed . If too much, don't be sorry to completely remove that frog.

Flukes will die at high temperatures, so you need to cook thoroughly frog meat to limit parasitic parasitic worms that exist in food , invade and cause illness in the human body. Absolutely not eat raw frog meat or use live frog meat on eyes to cure eye pain as some people think.

Absolutely not eat raw frogs to avoid infection with the body.

This lack of science creates favorable conditions for the trematode larvae to enter the skin, eyes - causing tumors in the eyes, making the patient blind.

Some of the less common cases are that humans can be infected with the larvae due to washing their surface with larvae and crustaceans infected with larvae.
