00:00Welcome to Nazariya ki Nagariya.
00:03Does eating cabbage cause brain worms?
00:08You must have heard people saying,
00:12don't eat cabbage, otherwise you will get worms in your brain.
00:16Why does this happen?
00:17What is the brain worm?
00:19How does it get into your body?
00:21We will talk about all these topics today.
00:24Before that, let me introduce you to a figure.
00:31According to a report,
00:33there is a risk of worms infection in 225 million pre-school and school-age children in India.
00:39In India, about 65% of cases of worms infection related to soil occur in Southeast Asia.
00:46Globally, this figure is 27%.
00:49However, a deworming program is also being run for this.
00:53You must have heard that there are some insects that eat the brain.
00:58Now, if they eat the brain, how do they get into the brain?
01:02How do they look?
01:03This curiosity is often in everyone's mind.
01:05I was reading an article on a news website.
01:08The article was about brain worms.
01:12In 2018, an 8-year-old girl in Gurugram had a sharp headache for 6 months.
01:18Not only that, she also had dizziness.
01:20When I showed it to the doctor, he said that there was a swelling in the brain.
01:23The doctor was giving steroids without thinking.
01:26Due to which the girl's weight was increasing continuously.
01:29There came a time when the girl's weight reached 60 kg.
01:33Now, it is not common to be so heavy at such a young age.
01:37Due to excess weight, the girl was having a lot of trouble walking and breathing.
01:42When the CT scan of the girl's brain was done,
01:45she found about 100 eggs of brain worms in her brain.
01:51Now you must be thinking that how did these eggs get into the brain?
01:55When any brain worm reaches your body through food or drinks,
01:59it goes through the bloodstream from the stomach to your brain.
02:03Where it lays eggs to increase its number.
02:06But this is not the only case.
02:08There are many such cases where brain worms cause epilepsy.
02:13Not only that, in some conditions, the patient also dies.
02:17The main cause of epilepsy in children in the country today is brain worms.
02:22Now, if this brain worm is so dangerous, then how does it happen?
02:26Let's find out.
02:27Brain worms are such parasites that enter our body by eating infected food.
02:35Now, where is this worm found?
02:37Let's find out.
02:38This worm is found in the soil.
02:40So, such vegetables that grow in the soil,
02:42this worm sticks to the surface of such vegetables and their leaves.
02:46If you do not wash such vegetables well,
02:50then the possibility of this worm entering your body increases.
02:53Often, you must have seen some reels on social media,
02:56in which some health experts say that
02:58even by eating cabbage, the brain worm goes into your brain.
03:01The reason behind this is that there are more than one layer in cabbage
03:05in which the brain worm remains stuck,
03:08which you cannot wash well.
03:10And the possibility of the worm entering your body also increases.
03:14But there are some worms, i.e. insects,
03:16that go into your body by eating meat.
03:18There is such a brain worm,
03:20whose name is Tanyasolium.
03:22It is also called Pork Tapworm or Pig Tapworm,
03:25because it is found in the pig.
03:27Often, those who eat pig meat,
03:29the possibility of the brain worm going into them also increases.
03:33Now, you must be thinking that
03:35how does the brain swell up due to the worm?
03:37How does this happen?
03:38Let's find out.
03:39When the worm reaches your brain,
03:41it experiences that an external agent has come,
03:45which is not good for your brain.
03:47When the brain experiences this,
03:49it starts reacting,
03:51which causes swelling in your brain.
03:53Therefore, whenever this worm reaches your brain,
03:56the parasitic infection caused by it
03:59is called Neurocytosciosis, i.e. NCC disease.
04:03From NCC, cysts are formed in our brain,
04:07which affects our neurological system.
04:10This disease causes epilepsy,
04:12which is also called Neurological disease.
04:16If any fruit or vegetable,
04:18meat or water,
04:20is already infected with Pork Tapworm,
04:22and you eat without washing or cooking the meat properly,
04:26then the larva of Tapworm
04:28increases the possibility of it reaching your stomach.
04:31There are many symptoms of brain worm infection.
04:36For example,
04:37Epilepsy
04:38Epilepsy often occurs due to brain worms.
04:41There is fatigue in the brain.
04:43Headache is also very common.
04:45Your mental state becomes very confused.
04:48There is also weakness in the brain.
04:51If we talk about treatment,
04:53brain worms can also be treated with medicines,
04:55which eliminates worms
04:57and also helps in reducing cysts.
