"The disease is usually found in rural parts of developing countries with poor hygiene habits. However, Ramirez was the fourth patient Mohanty treated within a few months."

"The cycle starts with a human that's infected with the tapeworm," said Dr. Luis Ostrosky, of the UT Houston Medical Center. The tapeworm eggs are spread by a human host who doesn't practice good hygiene after using the restroom. An unsuspecting victim then eats the contaminated food, Ostrosky said.
Well, Yuch!!!!

"He's scared now. He's scared of any food from outside," Ramirez said through his sister who interpreted for him.
Ramirez is a tile worker who immigrated to the U.S. from El Salvador 20 years ago.
And He STILL hasn't learned English!

And our border is open to millions of third world illegals who don't have have or know good hygiene habits doing all kinds of work with our food chain.

TB from Bangladesh, brain worms from Mexico, Chacas disease from central America, HIV from Haiti...

"He's scared now. He's scared of any food from outside," Ramirez said through his sister who interpreted for him. Non-English speaking, huh?

Here in this country 20 years, and can't speak English. Of course he's an illegal criminal, but the article fails to mention this.
I wonder who's the real parasite...the tape worms or this gentleman?

Sounds like he got the disease IN America.

"...The best way to avoid the disease, doctors say, is to wash your hands, cook meats thoroughly, especially pork, and to wash fruits and vegetables..."
I would say that the best way to avoid the disease is to avoid refugees from festering third-world sh**holes.
But, I'm not a doctor.

Ummmm, can this be spread on lettuce like a taco belled event?

"...millions of third world illegals ...doing all kinds of work with our food chain." I dislike paranoia but I'm really getting leery of eating out. The food service world can't take too many more hits before they feel it. It's out of control.
