Stay vigilant

Terrible red caviar

As explained in Rospotrebnadzor in Moscow, helminths can also be infected from fish, from red lightly salted, so appetizing-looking caviar. Perhaps you will not find a person who would not want to treat himself to fresh fish. Especially with its current abundance in the markets. But it must be borne in mind that not all fish products get into the market trade checked by veterinarians.

“Some species of fish can serve as sources of human infection with such helminthic invasions as diphyllobothriasis, anisakidosis,” they warn sanitary doctors. “Many of them have never been heard of by most fish consumers. Diphyllobothriasis, for example, is caused when a person is infected with a wide tapeworm or Klebanovsky's tapeworm. Lentets refers to large worms and reaches a length of 8-10 meters, sometimes up to 25 meters. An adult tapeworm can settle not only in small intestine human, but also in the stomach of a cat, dog, pig. If you have appeared characteristics infection with these worms: nausea, weakness, abdominal pain, headaches, dizziness, you should immediately consult a doctor. Pass the necessary tests.

Another complex and unknown word to most is anisakidosis - a disease that poorly salted herring can give a person. For the first time this disease in humans was diagnosed in Holland in 1985 and was associated precisely with the use of slightly salted herring. To date, thousands of cases have been registered in the countries of Europe, Northern and South America and South-East Asia. Infection of a person occurs when eating raw or half-cooked infested marine fish and seafood, “five-minute” caviar, slightly salted, lightly marinated fish. Today, the risk of contracting anisakiasis has increased due to the growing popularity of exotic oriental dishes from raw seafood, such as "sushi", "heh", "satsimi" and others. Swallowed with seafood, live anisakid larvae are actively introduced into the mucous membrane of the stomach or intestines. The period from the moment the contaminated product is consumed until the first signs of the disease appear is from 1 hour to 2 weeks.

In order to prevent human infection, without fail seafood is monitored for infection with anisakid larvae. But who does it? Anisakid larvae quickly and completely die if the fish is well boiled or fried - at a temperature of +60 ° C and above, they die within 10 minutes. Therefore, smoked and raw fish of marine origin, not subjected to such treatment, does not guarantee its disinfection from anisakid larvae. And tapeworm can hide in dried, poorly fried or raw fish.

Roundworm: roundworms 15-40 cm long; live in small intestines. Ascaris eggs are excreted along with feces from the human intestine and develop in the soil. They are most often infected through the soil, unwashed vegetables.

Pinworms: small worms 3-12 mm long; live in the small and large intestines. Infection with pinworms occurs by swallowing helminth eggs that enter the mouth and nose with dust. Through dirty hands and food products self-infection with pinworms can occur.

Vlasoglavy: thin worms 30-35 mm long; live in the caecum and large intestine. Infection with whipworms occurs in the same way as infection with roundworms.

Trichinella:(trichina) very small worms up to 4 mm long. A person becomes infected with them by eating the meat of pigs, less often wild animals, in which trichin larvae are located.

Bull tapeworm:(all tapeworms are often called tapeworms) has a length of 4-10 m; a person becomes infected by eating insufficiently fried or boiled meat of cattle in which the larvae were located. Mistresses often become infected by trying raw minced meat.

Wide ribbon: up to 6-15 m long; a person becomes infected by eating poorly cooked or fried river fish.

Echinococcus: lives in the intestines of animals, most often dogs. People get infected from dogs and cats. Echinococcosis is a serious disease, the symptoms of which depend on which organ is affected.

To have a little snack and to drown out, to satisfy the feeling of hunger - this means "to kill the worm", we use such a playful expression to indicate our needs, namely to eat something.

But what kind of worm are we trying to kill and why do we say exactly that?

There are several explanations for the origin of this expression.

In the 18th century, this expression is not yet found, but since the 19th century it has been actively used.

It is believed that the meaning of the expression how to eat is the equivalent of the meaning "drink", and the expression itself came from the Romance groups of languages: Italian, French, Portuguese.

There is a saying in Italian that translates as "to kill the caterpillar" (matar el gusanillo) and meant taking a glass of alcohol before breakfast.

And in French, the saying "kill the worm" (tuer le ver) is nothing more than drinking on an empty stomach.


  • Apparently, because a person after drinking necessarily has a snack, and his appetite is played out in earnest.
  • And in Russia, the word "worm", in general, is consonant with the word "womb" (stomach, belly).

Let's take a look at these pages

2) the expression is borrowed from Roman phraseology. Apparently, this is a tracing paper from the French tuer le ver - "to drink a glass of alcohol on an empty stomach" (lit. "to kill a worm"). Turnover associated with popular belief that by drinking alcohol on an empty stomach, you can get rid of worms.

Almost every day we repeat the expression "kill the worm." What did the phraseologism "to kill the worm" originally mean? And what is the origin of this expression?

The turnover "to kill the worm" for the Russian language is relatively young, the phraseological dictionary of the 18th century does not note it.

For some reason, researchers of the Russian language stubbornly associate the expression "to kill a worm" with hunger. Moreover, in some monographs they try to replace this expression with the old Russian phrase "zamorit howl" - "to satisfy hunger, have a bite" ("howl" - "hunger, appetite").
This mistake is fixed even in the dictionary of V. I. Dahl. Volume I (in the article "to starve") indicates the meaning "drink or snack on hunger", and in IV (in the article "worm") - "snack on hunger". It is quite obvious that it is impossible to “starve” eating food for the simple reason that it is just food for the “worm”.

The Russians borrowed the expression at the beginning of the 19th century from Romance phraseology. Among the southern peoples, the slogan is known only in the meaning of "drink alcohol on an empty stomach."

In Europe, this turnover is still very widespread: in Spanish matar el gusanillo (gusano) (literally "kill a worm or caterpillar") which means "drink a glass of vodka before breakfast", in Portuguese matar o bicho (literally "kill a worm") - "drink a glass on an empty stomach", in French tuer le ver ("kill a worm") - "drink a glass of alcohol on an empty stomach."

Unfortunately, modern commercial absinthes only remotely resemble the classic wormwood tincture; synthetic flavors and dyes are used for their production. A truly health drink is still produced according to old recipes in the Slavic countries of the Adriatic: Croatia, Slovenia, etc. These peoples have preserved the concept of the healing properties of wormwood tincture, even on the labels you can read that the drink "corrects the most difficult bellies" (in free translation). In Slavic, it is called Pelinkowac (pelin, plin - drink, kowac - wormwood).

Since a drink is usually followed by a snack, this led to the "kill the worm" leading to a gradual dragging of the action from "drink" to "eat", which is erroneous.

Be that as it may, you must admit that it is pleasant after a walk or a bicycle ride with a glass or two to "starve a worm"!
