Below the highlighted information shows that this is a real problem. Although the stats are isolated to the Southwest, we've all seen huge migrations all over the country. Many immigrant workers work in restaurants, homes, etc. which exposes our potential everywhere -- this is a reality -- I believe it has been a problem all along from people around the world but it has increased in the USA & European countries. The 1800's Gunn's Report on tapeworms (post here) highlights if one person is infected, they can easily infect an entire neighborhood. Therefore, this is a REAL problem that has been ignored far too long. There were case reports several years ago (post on MD or P Forum) of 4 Jewish people (not related) in New York who had brain infections from tapeworms. How many misdiagnosis are there that could be related to a parasite infection and dismissed because they "don't exist"?
The post below is to help people understand the difference of tapeworm infections which is described below. Unfortunately, the entire report isn't available - it would be nice to see the pictures.

The tapeworms of the genus Taenia that infect human beings are T. solium, T. saginata and T. saginata asiatica. Taenia solium and T. saginata exhibit unequivocal features that characterize them; in contrast, only recent DNA studies, morphological characteristics, and epidemiological and sanitary aspects indicate that T. saginata asiatica is a subspecies of T. saginata. These 3 tapeworms occur in humans in their adult stage, and the intermediate hosts are pigs for T. solium and T. saginata asiatica and cows for T. saginata. Their identification is crucial considering the migratory increase from Asia to the Western Hemisphere and the fact that these tapeworms coexist in the same environment in Asia; furthermore, it is estimated that movement in both directions across the United States–Mexico border exceeds 200 million persons per yr, and thus, opportunities for acquiring and transporting T. solium infections are multiplied. It is not easy to distinguish among these tapeworms; therefore, a comparative diagram of the 3 parasites is shown in this article, which will facilitate their identification. All morphological features, some of which allow for identification, are clear and can be easily distinguished among the 3 tapeworms.

This is a reply to # 1,246,768My sister, an RN in Georgia (USA), says that there has been an increasingly larger number of tapeworm cases. The number has been growing for a few years. Mostly all Hispanic migrant workers. I feel sorry for them. Not much they can do to avoid it, I guess.
I also worry about people who change their diets to raw foods. On the other hand, I remember my grandmother way overcooking vegetables. And how about the French? They love raw meat. They claim that there is much less problem with food borne illnesses, when the food is less handled and less processed.

This is a reply to # 1,246,914Hmmm.... that interesting info JFH about your sister. Obviously, the prevalence is here; therefore, I wonder why is there still a denial?
Since understanding parasites, I'm in agreement with you about raw food eating. Sad. Although, I can't help myself with eating handy blueberries, but a good cleaning solution can help (at least on the skin). Several months back, I cut into a red apple. It looked perfectly healthy, except there were pink thin structures that could easily be mistaken for veins and I would have thought this (years earlier) if I didn't know better and eaten the darn thing. When examining closer, the "veins" were curvy and not in line with the apple's fiber.
I don't think it is good to cook the vegs/fruits into mushy pulps. Studies have been done when the nutritional value has been removed -- it's best to cook them lightly. Some heat and a small amount of water should do the job of killing the suc***s.
As for the French eating raw meats, they do have a distinct Frenchy attitude that everyone complains about. Could it be parasite related?

It sure would be nice to see more pics. I went on a wild link search from your article above rabbitears, thanks very much.
I search on google and there is a lot of other junk mixed into the available pics.
I get so pissed when I do look at the pics. I took in evidence that was so visible to the naked eye and both the lab and the doc screwed up.
I really do not know what to do.
I had the EGD and my appt. with that surgeon is a month from now. The surgeon said he 'found something' and took a biopsy of a 'fold' in my stomach, and didn't say anything else.
I still have 'sand' and many weird things coming out of my nose. Since the Albendezole dosages I have had less sand but it still drives me crazy with the itching.
(sigh)

This is a reply to # 1,247,448I made a post for parasite images, but you can go directly to it from here:

I can certainly understand your frustration and it seems as though you keep hitting brick walls. There's no response to the "sand" coming out of your nose? (Perhaps, they think you snorted "sand" before coming as a hypochondriac/delusional person.) Sheesh!
