On the afternoon of August 15th, Sichuan Centers for Disease Control and Control: Not "Dragon Worm"!

Sichuan CDC stated that according to the video and photos released by the Internet, combined with epidemiology, biological forms, and conventional monitoring, 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.

"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."

Sichuan disease control experts said that Macadana dragon nematodes, also known as Guinea, are parasitic in the human body and various mammals, causing Macadana drainal insect 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.
