"Florida Man's Migraines Caused by Brain Tapeworm from Undercooked Bacon"
A Florida man suffering from severe migraines was found to have a tapeworm infestation in his brain, likely caused by consuming undercooked bacon. The man's preference for soft bacon and undercooking made him vulnerable to neurocysticercosis, a condition where tapeworm eggs infect various parts of the body. The CDC warns that this ailment is preventable but can lead to hospitalization for about 1,000 Americans annually. The patient was treated with a deworming drug, albendazole, and showed improvements after two weeks.
