For Prostate Specialist: Rat Lung Worm in produce
May 30 2019 07:55PM more by gilbert33
Tags: Orange County, Random (All tags)

The disease is caused by a parasitic nematode, the adult form of which is found in rats. They host the worm and pass the larvae through their feces, which slugs—particularly the invasive semi-slug—and snails feed on. Humans get infected by consuming raw produce—leafy greens, herbs, sweet potatoes.

The parasites die over time, so the infection is self-limiting. And, since symptoms vary so much—from headaches to vomiting to paralysis—there’s no specific treatment or medication for this disease. (Rat lungworm is hard to diagnose, too. The most effective method, so far, has been to get a sample of the cerebral spinal fluid from the infected person and run a molecular test on it. Jarvi is working on a way to detect the disease through a simple blood sample.) Anyone who has symptoms should see a health-care provider as soon as possible.
