There are divergent opinions on the Internet. There are doubts that McDonalda (also known as Guinea), and there are also suspected iron bugs ...

To solve this problem,

Sichuan disease control experts explain to you:

Macadana, also known as Guinea, adults parasitic in the human body and various mammalian tissues, causing Macadari thread disease. The disease is a kind of human and animals, and has been widely popular in tropical and subtropical regions such as Africa and India. There were only 14 cases of human infection of McDonald in 2021, 7 of which were in Chad in Africa. There are only 1 case report in my country (1995).

There are many types of nematodes in the water bodies in nature. Most of them are not parasitic in the human body. A few, such as: Iron Worm, Macadana Dragon Worm can infect the human body through the mouth.

Macadana width is infected with the sword flea of ​​the human body or animals because of the accidental eating larvae infection.

Ironworm is infected by drinking water or swallowing hosts such as insects, fish, snails, etc. with infectious larvae.

The insect body in the video does not drill the human body. Devouring the infectious larvae flea, insects, fish, snails, etc. is the key to infection!

According to the video and photos released by the Internet, combined with epidemiological, biological forms, and conventional monitoring, neither supports the nematodes in the video are "dragon width". Zhao Li, the curator of the Chengdu Huaxi Insect Museum, also said that the nematodes in these videos are not "dragon width", but a certain nematode parasitic in the insect body, entering the water body.

There are many worms in nature, and many of them are "harmonious" with people and the environment, so you don't have to panic.

To prevent food -based parasitic diseases, pay special attention to drinking water, do not drink wild water, avoid insects, fish, snails, etc. that may be infected with parasites, and avoid swimming in unclean water in the wild.
