South Korea took unusual measures to ensure sanitary security after the end of the Olympic Games in Paris. A service dog specially trained to detect parasites in athletes returning home from the Olympics was deployed at one of the country's airports.

Korea expects that along with medals and trophies, athletes may bring back unwanted "passengers" - the so-called "Olympic bedbugs," which have become legendary due to massive cases of infestation at the games.

This measure is aimed at preventing the spread of parasites in the country and ensuring the health of athletes and citizens.
