This is the disgusting and shocking scene which awaited medics giving an X-ray to a man whose body was filled with parasitic tapeworm eggs.
The unusual situation arose after the man in question made a grave kitchen mistake, which led to the parasites taking root in his body.
The picture was posted on X, formerly Twitter, by University of Florida Assistant Professor in Emergency Medicine, Sam Ghali.
The shocking snaps in the educational post show the patient's experience with a tapeworm infection. He said it was one of the "most insane X-rays I’ve ever seen".The Mirror reports he posted a video with running commentary showing a man's lower torso mottled with small white dots, which he explained were dozens of calcified tapeworm eggs.
