"Undercooked Bacon Consumption Linked to Tapeworms in Man's Brain Causing Migraines"

A man in Florida experienced worsening migraines, which were eventually diagnosed as being caused by tapeworm cysts in his brain, likely due to poor hygiene and undercooked pork consumption. The tapeworm likely entered his brain after reverting to its cyst form and traveling through the bloodstream. This condition, called neurocysticercosis, can lead to seizures and epilepsy if untreated. The man is now recovering with a dual treatment of anti-parasite and anti-inflammatory drugs, highlighting the importance of proper pork cooking and good hygiene practices.
