Rat lungworm has spread to most parts of the globe, almost unopposed (today, the parasite happily thrives in Southeast Asia, the Pacific islands, Japan, Australia, South America, the Caribbean, and the southeastern U.S. as well as parts of Africa and the Canary and Balearic Islands). We all know the importance of eating fresh greens, salads and fruits. But you must be careful from now on. Be alert to what may be on, in, or under your food! There is a need to balance healthy eating against genuine foodborne hazard now prevalent in these and other endemic countries.
Fortunately, thorough washing of produce removes infected A. cantonensis-infected mollusks, even though they may be very tiny; cooking and freezing outright kill larvae; and early treatment mitigates illness. But you must be cautious and aware if you are travelling to these areas. And do help by sharing this knowledge with others who may travel there, or who are at risk. If nobody warns them, how will they know?
