A 3-inch parasitic worm was removed from the woman's brain


- First such event in the world

- Dr. Haripriya Bandi patiently removed a worm-like worm from the brain of a 64-year-old Australian woman

Canberra: An unbelievable incident has happened in Australia. Doctors have removed a 3-inch long worm-like worm from the brain of an Australian woman.

Giving this information, CNN states that neurosurgeon Dr. Haripriya Bandi said that I also do gardening everyday. In the course of this gardening I often come across strange and frightening insects. But that worm I (removed from the woman's mind) never saw before.

Talking about his surgery, neurosurgeon Dr. Haripriya Bandi said, I was shocked for a while after seeing a three-inch long worm like worm in the brain of that woman. Then he slowly and patiently pulled out the worm-like worm with forceps (cheepia) so as not to hit the brain, while it was coiled over the forceps.

Infectious Diseases Expert Dr. Sanjay Senanayak said that everyone was curious after seeing that worm that how could such a big worm reach the brain? A junior doctor arrived at the research laboratory with this worm (in a jar of formaldehyde in water). He identified the worm as Ophidascaris robertsii and said that it is usually found in the stomachs of pythons or large snakes. Not found in the body of mammals. Doctors from Australian University and Canavera Hospital also said that.

A more in-depth study of the incident revealed that the woman lives in the South East of New South Wales. He had no direct contact with reptiles. But they used to take the edible grass growing in that area and cook it and eat it. Now the eggs of this parasite are deposited on the forage grass along with that snake or small python. Now that woman must have licked her hand by mistake before cooking that grass. With that, those tiny eggs must have gone into her stomach. which would have developed into larvae and from the larvae into worms (at first quite small). Hence, this woman used to have nausea, vomit, diarrhea and severe abdominal pain. Because that worm stuck to the intestine. He also had cough, fever, night sweats. Then the headache started. An MRI showed nothing abnormal in the right side of the brain. After that, this worm was found while performing surgery at a neurosurgeon. When the worm is a tiny larva, it may have reached the brain with the blood. That is the possibility.

Saying this is unbelievable, Dr. Senanayak said that infection can also occur from plants and animals. It is imperative to be careful in areas where animals are abundant. Parasitic organisms also reach the lungs and liver.

A community that has mastered monkey hunting for centuries, there are now only 150 people left

Kathmandu, June 17, 2023, Saturday A community called Raute living in Nepal for centuries is on the verge of extinction. Today only 150 people of this tribe are left. The central mountainous region in Nepal is considered their home. which is near the Himalayas and the southern Terai plains of Nepal. The Raute people live in temporary houses covered with cloth over wood. However, since they live completely cut off from the rest of the world, it becomes difficult to find their abode. The men of the Raute community are adept at hunting monkeys. Once they have followed a monkey, they do not return without hunting. The Raute people sit around a fire at night in winter. What is new is that they consider it a sin to grow seeds in the soil, so instead of farming, they use the grains found naturally in the forest as food. Every day women and children bring grain bearing plants and extract grains from them. They also eat fruits and vegetables that grow naturally. This nomadic species does no

Earthquake tremors have rocked California ever since. Even in Hollywood, heaven on earth, everyone has become fearful. Cyclone 'Heavy' struck over Cape Bani California, south of this cyclonic storm.
