"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.

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?

"...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.

In a lot of places, like Mexico, El Salvador, Bolivia, Paraguay, there are street vendors selling stuff like tacos, empanadas, even ceviche and fresh fruit juice.
When I realized that there are few public restrooms, let alone a place to wash up, my appetite for street food went way down.
Something like this could have happened to Mr Ramirez.
Come to think of it, in the lunch wagons that visit construction sites and office parks in the US, where do those employees wash up? Granted most of what they sell is prepackaged and they wear gloves (with no proper glove protocol), but without a sink and hot water they don't wash up any more than the taco stands in Ensenada.

Exact same thing happened to the uncle of a coworker of mine. He bought some sort of pork burrito or something from one of those Mexican carts on the street. I have sworn off pork and am real leery about eating at any restaurant, especially fast food places, since so many hire illegals. Just one more way I, and many other Americans, have had to adjust and adapt because of the illegal invasion.

The disease is usually found in rural parts of developing countries with poor hygiene habits. I suspect we'll be seeing a lot more of this from now on, and not only in "developing countries"...

Whoa! Parasitic "worms", whether they be pinworms or tapeworms attach to the INTESTINES and only the INTESTINES!
They are intestinal parasites insiteu, in other words, they don't go to your brain. They will cause you discomfort and weight loss but, in the modern medical environment, they won't kill you and they won't, repeat, won't go to your brain. However, they will come out of your butt. That's when you go to the doctor and get something to kill them. Liberal science urinalists (spelled wrong for effect) only think that because they most always think with the place that the worms come out of, hence the confusion with the brain.
I'm a doctor, and I don't play on on TV.
