First sentence in the article:

"FARIDABAD, India — An 18-year-old who complained of seizures in the emergency room of an Indian hospital turned out to have parasites in his brain"

Any particular reason you omitted this?

>> it is only people with a tapeworm infection in the intestine who can spread the potentially life-threatening eggs when proper hygiene is lacking or ignored.

Like throwing away feces stained paper towels and toilet paper in a trash can in a rest room instead of using toilet paper (only) and flushing it down the toilet?

The money quote:

"it is only people with a tapeworm infection in the intestine who can spread the potentially life-threatening eggs when proper hygiene is lacking or ignored" So wherefrom did the kid get the tapeworms in the first place?

Well, this isn’t one of your fun threads! (Thinking about the may fly hatch?)

I feel for the kid! I am also glad that I have had my head xray-d in the last year with no result. I will make certain there are no wild pigs wandering in my neighborhood!

(You need to cross reference this with the North Korea fertilizer thread and go have a beer! Its opening day!)

Many Holy Books have restrictions on diet, specific methods of preparing foods and keeping oneself clean. Old Testament mostly. Rituals are wound around these events, to help instill such habits into the daily culture. This is perhaps one of the reasons, when teaching primitive desert tribes to live in a healthy way.

it is only people with a tapeworm infection in the intestine who can spread the potentially life-threatening eggs when proper hygiene is lacking or ignored.

Like North Korea?

“it is only people with a tapeworm infection in the intestine who can spread the potentially life-threatening eggs when proper hygiene is lacking or ignored.”

Like the poop handprint cave paintings left in public restrooms by followers of a certain religion, butt pirates, and certain third world cultures?

Turd world diseases

I know someone who got one of those. Lost 50 lbs in treatment for it.

Poor kid. RIP.

You altered the article.

You omitted the entire first paragraph,

FARIDABAD, India — An 18-year-old who complained of seizures in the emergency room of an Indian hospital turned out to have parasites in his brain, according to a case study published Thursday in the New England Journal of Medicine.”

[Buckeye McFrog]

You mean a young person died, and opposition to vaccines was not involved in any way? The dickens you say.
