Some kind of worms can get into your body through food and live in it
as parasites. The worst thing is they can get into your brain and cause
serious medical problems. The only thing we can do is avoid food that
can
contribute to this situation. Dr. Effrossyni Gkrania-Klotsas was examining the head of one man with
a tapeworm inside and it was something no one has seen before.
One man with headaches, which has been traveling to China, came to an
examination in Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridge. He had seizures that
were caused by a worm. Actually, he had an infection called
sparganosis, a parasitic infection which is caused by tapeworm larvae
plerocercoid diphyllobothroid. The infection couldn’t be trated with
drugs and the man needed a surgery.
There are three types of worms that can infect the brain and you can
get the infection by eating undercooked pork meat. Another way you can
get infected is if you are in a direct contact with animals infected
with this parasite. It can cause neurocysticercosis, an infection that
can lead to epilepsy.
This infection is common in Asia, Africa and Latin America, but
because of the global distribution of pork people all around the world
can be infected.
Some types of drugs can cure this infection, but it is better with
surgery. The most important thing is to raise awareness for this
situation because everyone can be victim of that kind of in infection.
