According to Chinese media such as Sina Finance, Mr. Li, who lives in Hunan Province, began to feel foreign objects in his eyes and objects floating like mosaics in his vision in April last year. In the initial ophthalmic examination, he was diagnosed with no abnormalities in his eyes and did not receive treatment because symptoms did not interfere with his daily life.
Then, at the end of last month, Lee visited the hospital again, suffering from serious symptoms such as sudden fainting, bubble in his mouth, convulsions, and muscle stiffness.
MRI examination revealed a foreign body in the brain, and detailed diagnosis revealed that the foreign body was 'Taenia solium', known as a pork parasite.
The medical staff immediately removed the parasite through craniotomy, and the operation was successfully completed.
Lee was discharged from the hospital after a 10-day recovery period after the operation.
In an interview with medical staff, he said he had caught a living snake and ate a gall bladder raw in the past. He also said he ate it raw because he said it was good for health and energy supplementation.
The doctor explained that `Lee seems to have been infected with parasites by ingesting the gallbladder of a snake'\`````````````````````````````````````.
In order to prevent parasitic infections, he emphasized not to drink purified water, not to eat raw meat, and not to directly touch raw meat to wounds.
