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.

"Bacon Consumption Surges, Causing Pork Producers to Scramble"

Pork consumption in the United States has decreased by 9% over the past 20 years, while production has increased by 25%, leading to an oversupply issue for pork producers. The National Pork Board is working on targeted marketing efforts to make pork more appealing to younger consumers, as major companies like Tyson have suffered losses due to declining demand. Some companies are focusing on marketing products with shorter meal prep times to attract more consumers, while others are investing in new production facilities to increase bacon and lunch meat offerings.
