EATING THIS COMMON FOOD CAN GIVE YOU BRAIN WORMS
There are numerous ways you can get worms invading your brain including eating pork. The pork species, known as Taenia Solium, can infect humans in two forms:
Consuming undercooked pork that comes from infected pigs, result in taeniasis, which is an adult worm that resides in the intestines of the pig and can affect the brain in humans.
The second, in the larval form, through contact with the feces of an infected pig or human, which can go on to infect many tissues in the human body.
This type of infection can result in neurocysticercosis if the larvae enter the nervous system. This infection can cause epilepsy if it gets into the brain.
If the larval worm enters the nervous system, including the brain, it can result in a condition known as neurocysticercosis.
Infection of this kind can often cause epilepsy once inside the brain. Almost a third of epilepsy cases in countries where the disease is native are people who have previously had neurocysticercosis, according to the World Health Organization.
