A woman in Texas, who suffered terrible headaches, checked herself into a hospital, where doctors discovered that worms were growing in her brain.
After conducting tests, doctors found tapeworms and eggs. Dr. Richard Meyrat, a Neurosurgeon at the Methodist Dallas Medical Center, said that Rostro likely picked up the parasite by ingesting food contaminated with fecal matter.
Usually the parasite passes through the body, but in the case of Rostro, it got into her bloodstream and then in her brain.
Doctors at the Methodist Dallas Medical Center were able to extract the larvae. Doctors believe that she will make a full recovery.
