Man's Headaches Caused by 6 Inch Long Parasite
By IAN GARLAND The Sun Published: 26th July 2013 A MAN plagued by headaches discovered a SIX-INCH long worm had burrowed into his brain. Wang Ming, 60, from Chengdu, China, visited his doctor after he had suffered fainting fits and painful migraines for more than six months. When they X-rayed him, medics spotted a parasite the length of a biro lurking under his skull. Surgeons performed a three-hour operation on Ming at the First People’s Hospital in Shuangliu earlier this month. When they removed the worm, they put it in a water container and were shocked to discover it carried on swimming. Experts, who believe Ming picked up the parasite from eating undercooked food, now plan to study the worm. **This, from The York Daily News** Man’s headaches due to 6-inch parasite burrowing in his brain Wang Ming, 60, had been experiencing headaches, convulsions and fainting for months due to the worm-like invader.

The hospital's director of neurosurgery, Wang Biao, said it was unlike anything he'd ever seen, and blamed the infection on eating undercooked seafood.

Re: Man's Headaches Caused by 6 Inch Long Parasite
I'm sorry. I thought it was in there. I'll get back to you. "Aquatic organisms typically contain many parasites; If people don't cook frog or eel properly, the animal's parasites may enter the human body," he said, according to Shanghaiist. Is that good enough  |
