Doctors Find Worm in Woman’s Brain

22 November 2008 8 views No Comment

No, it is not a tabloid article.  A mother of four is told she has a brain tumor, but when doctors go in to remove it they find a worm living in her brain! She thought she had the flu and then her arm began to go numb.  She made two trips to the ER and a CAT scan showed nothing.  An MRI finally revealed what was felt to be a tumor in the brainstem.  This…after the Alvarez’s cancelled their health insurance just three weeks prior due to costs.  The surgeon then finds a living worm and removes it.  See the video or read about cysticercosis, or tape worms.  Remember cook your food thoroughly and wash your hands!!!
