Parasite Removed From The Brain
This is my first time posting so bear with me if it doesn't work. The jelly bean looking thing in the video is the parasite. The patient's body has encapsulated it to try and isolate it from the healthy tissue.

Re: Parasite Removed From The Brain
it looks to be a hydatid cyst. Hydatid disease is a parasitic infestation by a tapeworm of the genus Echinococcus.

That's why you don't eat raw pork. THAT is what happens when a tapeworm larvae ends up in your body and migrates to the wrong place or is the wrong species. Fun times. :)
