On the 19th, the man complained of abdominal pain and visited a nearby hospital.

It was over 18m long, and it was so long that it took a lot of time to display it on the floor.” “It is estimated to be the longest discovered in the past 50 years in Thailand,” he said.
It is known that this man has been eating raw beef once or twice a month.
A medical staff at the center said, “This parasite is caused by eating raw meat, and it can live for more than 30 years in the human body.” Thing” advised. “This man’s family also suggested a medical test because the probability of eating raw meat is high, so they may be at risk of infection with parasites.”
