Health Warning: Raw Meat Linked to Tapeworm Risk

Health Warning: Raw Meat Linked to Tapeworm Risk
ADVERTISEMENT

Medical experts are raising alarms after a case of beef tapeworm infection was traced to the consumption of Soi Ju, a traditional Thai dish made with raw minced beef. The incident highlights the growing concerns surrounding the health risks associated with eating raw meat.

Dr. Natkaphat Rattanapithun, a consultant at the Parasitic Disease Research Centre and chairman of FMC Medical Centre in Nakhon Ratchasima province, confirmed that the infection involved a beef tapeworm, a parasite commonly associated with raw beef consumption, particularly Soi Ju.

“Tapeworms, which can grow extensively in the small intestine, may cause a range of symptoms,” Dr. Rattanapithun explained. “While some mild infections show no symptoms, larger infestations can result in serious complications such as bile duct obstruction, bloating, nausea, and vomiting. In severe cases, the parasites can emerge from the body through the mouth, nose, or rectum, reaching lengths of up to one metre.”

The tapeworms, known scientifically as cysticercus, originate from small cysts embedded in raw beef or pork. When consumed, these cysts survive the digestive process and attach to the walls of the small intestine, where they can grow into adult tapeworms. Beef tapeworms can reach lengths of 5 to 10 metres, while pork tapeworms typically grow to 2 to 4 metres.

Dr. Rattanapithun outlined treatment options, including endoscopic removal or deworming medication. However, he cautioned against self-medication due to potential side effects and emphasized the importance of consulting a healthcare professional before treatment. For individuals who regularly consume raw meat, he recommended annual parasite screenings as a precaution.

“While some people enjoy raw meat for its flavor, we strongly advise consuming fully cooked meat instead,” he said. “For those who continue to eat raw meat, regular parasite screenings and medical supervision are essential.”

The case gained significant attention after being shared widely on social media, including on the “Lab Panda” medical page. It serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers posed by raw meat consumption.

Common symptoms of tapeworm infection include bloating, indigestion, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, anemia, and diarrhea. This warning follows a noticeable rise in parasite-related infections tied to raw meat consumption in Thailand.
