It is not recommended for everyone to eat pig intestines with lumps like this, especially those bought outside. This is lymphatic meat.

In the fat in the large intestine, there are pimples that are slightly smaller than mung beans and have a pinkish color. The positions of the pimples are symmetrical. It is obvious that this is a cross-section of the pimple. On the outer wall of the large intestine, there may be pinhole-sized holes that are dark in color.

Lymph is one of the immune organs of the body. Pig lymph actually contains a variety of bacteria and viruses. Regular consumption of pork lymph meat will cause viruses and bacteria to invade our human body. Mild diarrhea, if severe, can lead to the occurrence of some diseases and affect our health.

Many unscrupulous merchants will beat pork neck meat into mince to prevent you from seeing it easily, and either sell it to unsuspecting passers-by, or sell it cheaply to street vendors making steamed buns. Because it is cheap and unhealthy, even the butcher stall owners rarely eat it.

Extended information:

Lymph nodes are oblate or oval small bodies that gather in groups, mostly distributed along blood vessels, and are named according to the arteries in which they are located. The immune organs of animals contain a large number of phagocytes that engulf various bacteria and viruses.

Take humans as an example. The number of lymph nodes in the human body is roughly between 500 and 600. However, due to individual differences, the number of lymph nodes in each person is not exactly the same. There are more than 100 lymph nodes, or lymph glands, along the lymphatic capillaries, which are particularly densely populated in the neck, groin, and armpits of the body. Each lymph node has a series of fibrous valves through which lymph fluid flows, filtering out microorganisms and toxins and destroying them to prevent the spread of infection. Widely distributed throughout the body of animals.

Lymphatic tissue and lymph throughout the body are connected through lymphatic vessels of varying sizes. Lymph nodes are the smallest units in the lymphatic system. It is not clear how many lymph nodes there are in the total body system. Divided from the location of distribution, there are superficial lymph nodes and deep lymph nodes. Under normal circumstances, the lymph nodes are invisible. When they are enlarged, the superficial ones can be touched or seen. When the deep swelling is obvious, they can be found through X-ray examination. Eating diseased or undercooked lymph nodes may lead to infection.
