Worms In The Brain...

Many of us may have heard about worms in our intestines but what about brain worms? Brain worms do exist!

Rosemary Alvarez was told by doctors that she had a brain tumor, but when operating they found out that what she really had was a worm eating her brain cells!

Brain worms and scientifically called neurocysticercosis (often misspelled as “neurocystisarcosis”), a common parasitic disease of the central nervous system. Varied clinical manifestations occur, due to deposition of larvae of the parasitic worm that is found in cerebral parenchyma, meninges, spinal cord, muscles, eyes and skin. The eggs of this parasitic worm is everywhere, like bathrooms, soil and even in food like raw pork. Many people have been diagnosed to have this disease already.

This parasite can be prevented from entering your system by washing your hands thoroughly with soap when eating and ensuring that you’re eating well-done pork. Simple hygiene in everyday life will save you, plus make sure pork meat is cooked.

Here’s the shocking video of the mother who had worms in her brain. Please be advised that this video contains graphic images:
