Brain Tumor? Nope, a Worm
A woman went into surgery expecting to have a brain tumor removed, but what doctors found was something --- alive. Yes, rather than a brain tumor, doctors removed a worm from Rosemary Alvarez' brain.
A brain worm? Is that possible? Well, they do exist, and are apparently becoming more common. A CDC report in 2007 outlined affliction's crossing of the border, so to speak to wind up in South Texas. This report was from Arizona.
The brain worm is in fact the pork tapeworm. It can be spread by eating undercooked pork, but also by not washing properly after using the bathroom (I'm sure you can figure out where the eggs would be passed).
Neurosurgeon Peter Nakaji operated on the woman, and chuckled when he saw that it was just a worm, saying "I'm sure this is a very strange response for the people in the operating room. But because I was so pleased to know that it wasn't going to be something terrible."
This was the sixth such case Nakaji has seen in recent months, raising the specter of more common appearances of a horrific disease.

wow I know a lady that has a brain worm she has had it for years its in a part of the brain where it cannot be removed so Dr.s keep it asleep with meds. the most weird part is that the worm has had babies (eggs) and they are asleep too one day with out her meds and those worms will eat her brain eeew!! also Dr.s told her that the worm can also come from certain fruit like strawberrys if not washed right so wash your hands and your fruit no joke worm is as big as your thumb
I would die. Absolutely die! They would have to give me meds to keep ME and the worms asleep!
Think of how surprised the mortician will be.
