Doctors in Arizona thought a Phoenix-area woman had a possible brain tumor, but it turned out there was something else penetrating her brain – a worm.
Rosemary Alvarez started experiencing numbness in her arm and blurred vision. She went to the emergency room twice and had a cat scan, but everything came up clear, MyFOXPhoenix.com reported...
:
Doctors removed the worm and don't believe Alvarez will have any lingering health problems. No one knows exactly where she picked up the worm –- doctors said worms can come from eating undercooked pork or spread by people who don’t wash their hands after using the bathroom, according to the report....

I am concerned about the worm...did they set it free?
Wise choice. Most of the parasites that have afflicted me over the years - and are probably still living comfortably in various quite parts of my body came from there.
(This refers to endoparasites. Not to be confused with democrats, bureaucrats and various others who just prefer not to work.)
Sadly, if they did set it free it would suffer and die a horrible death from starvation and dehydration. It needs a warm place to live in order to survive. Actually, I can think of a couple of possible options.
He already did. The current rumor is that she's been asked to be 0bambi's sec of state.
They’ve had stuff like this on Animal Planet from time to time. One guy got a worm/parasite from eating under cooked fish on a camping trip. Nasty, nasty stuff.
guy goes to the veterinarian to have his dog looked at.
Guy:”Doctor, what’s wrong with my dog?”
Doc:Your dog is dead.
Guy:”I don’t believe it! I want a second opinion”
Doc:”OK”. Doctor calls his labrador retriever to have a look. The dog goes up one side, then the other and giving a final sniff declares the guys dog dead.
Guy:”listen Doc, I really want to be sure” “Can we get another opinion?”
Doc:”Sure” Doctor brings a large cat to have a look. The cat goes up one side, then the other and giving a final sniff declares the guys dog dead.
Guy:”Well, Doc... I guess my dog is dead”
The Veterinarian then hands the distressed dog owner a bill of $600.
The guy exclaims:”What is this outrageous bill for!!???”
Doc:”That’s $200 for my opinion, $200 for the lab report and $200 for the cat scan”
Argh, you beat me to it!
“I know that there are some parasites which enter heart muscle and kill in Central America.”
How do they know when they reach Central America?
Probably a bot fly.
This is gross. As soon as my husband gets home, he’s putting the “Revolution” on the cats!
I've always been told that bot fly larvae only bore into muscle tissue. This thing was found inside the woman's head. Besides, to be attacked by bot fly larvae you have to be bitten by a mosquito and then not bathe for about five days.
I found this on CalTech's web site:
http://eands.caltech.edu/articles/LXVI4/brainworms.html
It's probably taenia solium, the common port tape worm. This means that the medium rare carnitas and unwashed hands after handling raw pork hypotheses are in play. Tabby is exonerated. It turns out toxiplasma gondii, which cats give to people is a paramecium, not a worm as I had thought.
check please!
My guess is that most of the magic Negroes voters were afflicted with something like that...oh I forgot they have no brains....worms would starve!
Interesting thread bttt

I couldn’t remember the joke, only the punch line.
