The tapeworm eggs were believed to have come from undercooked bacon.
Brain scans showing the worm eggs in the man’s brain A man in Florida suffering from persistent migraines was told he had tapeworm eggs in his brain. The 52-year-old patient sought medical help after his chronic migraines became more frequent and the medications he used for them no longer worked. Scans revealed multiple cysts on both sides of his brain that turned out to be pork tapeworm eggs.
But they said it was very unusual to encounter infected pork in the United States and far more common in rural areas in developing countries where pigs roam freely and eat human faeces. They added: ‘Our case may have public health implications.’ Doctors advised patients who see a change in their migraines should undergo further testing to rule out a tape worm infection.
