I know Mexico is a parasitic county but this one takes the prize.

I found it... it's "Hey You" on "The Wall"
But it was only fantasy.
The wall was too high,
As you can see.
No matter how he tried,
He could not break free.
And the worms ate into his brain.
:-) fantastic album!!!

It prevented me from finishing my pie I was just eating.
It's ok tho, I could stand to lose a few lbs.
I should refer back to it everytime I eat.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well-preserved body.
But rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out shouting
"Holy $hit! What a ride!!"

"It's from Pink Floyd on "The Wall" cd...I can't remember the name of the song though."It was humor!
Ya think?

As point of fact, even Homer Simpson hasn't tried this. I'm just sayin'. And hey, you kids at home, don't attempt this - even trained cfo's find this stunt difficult.

Autopsy results won't be available for a couple of months, Bailey said Is that normal? Heck Quincy could have the results in a day or two.

Ok
Your post indicates this is treatable and damage is almost always reversible.
For them to claim he "struggled" with this it must have been known. If it was known it must have been treated. If the worms were gone and he was not impaired then why did he do a superman off of the roof of his Mercedes? If there was irreversible impairment why was he driving? Seems to me there is something else at work here besides tapeworms.
Perhaps this poor community minded guy with a great sense of humor who smashed someone's car and would have killed a biker if the car hadn't there was struggling with the tequila worm instead.

after he climbed onto the roof of the car he was driving
The guy heard that the Darwin Awards were about to make their selection for 2004, and he wanted to be a 'finalist'?
Police haven't determined if the death was suicide or accidental,
Maybe, driving while stupid.

People can get tapeworms from eating undercooked pork in Mexico or pig feces on vegetables, he said. "Please Sir, more pig feces please!"

What value can the city government possibly add to make it worth a billion a year?Streets, basic sanitation, garbage pickup, police services, etc.
That may not add up to a billion, because there are a lot of "parasitic" stuff added on, but they account for a good chunk.

Aw...c'mon: I don't do anymore than anyone else who shares knowledge of their profession on these boards be it airline pilot, software engineer, soldier, chemist, nurse, journalist, vulcanologist, anthropologist, ecdysiast, etc.

Keogh contracted the illness a couple of years ago while on vacation in Mexico and his wife, Karlene, told city officials "she believes the parasite impaired his frontal lobe inhibition, said Toni Maccarone, a Phoenix spokeswoman. You don't need to go to Mexico to catch parasites. They're coming across the border all the time.

Yep--that's ridiculous, unless I'm missing something here. Even sophisticated immunohistologic staining only takes a couple weeks, at most. I'm baffled...even though they like have to send it to the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology or some other top pathology lab known for specialty work.

In the case of the pork tapeworm (t.solium), eggs hatch in the stomach and the larvae travel through the stomach lining to the bloodstream and can develop into cysts in other parts of the body (e.g. brain and under the skin). This causes a disease known as cysticercosis.
