Undercooked Bacon Linked to Tapeworms in Man's Brain
A 52-year-old Florida man's worsening migraines were linked to tapeworm eggs found in his brain, attributed to his lifelong preference for undercooked bacon consumption. Neurologists diagnosed him with neurocysticercosis, a rare parasitic infection of the brain strongly linked to pork consumption. The man was treated with antiparasitic and anti-inflammatory medications, and researchers emphasized the importance of proper handwashing and the potential risks associated with undercooked pork consumption.
