To learn more about his condition, the medical staff performed an MRI exam and saw damage caused by cysts in his cerebral cortex (the outer mantle of brain tissue) as well as the brain stem, including the cerebellum, which sits at the back of the head above the spinal cord.
The larvae crawl out of the eggs and into muscle and brain tissues, where they form cysts.
Patients with cysticercosis cannot spread their disease to other people; it is only people with a tapeworm infection in the intestine who can spread the potentially life-threatening eggs when proper hygiene is lacking or ignored.

"FARIDABAD, India — An 18-year-old who complained of seizures in the emergency room of an Indian hospital turned out to have parasites in his brain"
Any particular reason you omitted this?
>> it is only people with a tapeworm infection in the intestine who can spread the potentially life-threatening eggs when proper hygiene is lacking or ignored.
Like throwing away feces stained paper towels and toilet paper in a trash can in a rest room instead of using toilet paper (only) and flushing it down the toilet?
"it is only people with a tapeworm infection in the intestine who can spread the potentially life-threatening eggs when proper hygiene is lacking or ignored" So wherefrom did the kid get the tapeworms in the first place?
Well, this isn’t one of your fun threads! (Thinking about the may fly hatch?)
I feel for the kid! I am also glad that I have had my head xray-d in the last year with no result. I will make certain there are no wild pigs wandering in my neighborhood!
(You need to cross reference this with the North Korea fertilizer thread and go have a beer! Its opening day!)
India isn't really a place known for good hygiene.
You must have worked with people from certain Asian countries? It is so absolutely gross to see toilet paper that has been fouled, in the trash can. The women’s room in my former place of employment also had several broken toilet seats as the women from these countries STAND ON THE SEATS to use the toilet. I used to try really hard to not have to use the bathroom during working hours. YEECCHH!!
noticed the same thing. I knew it wasn’t, say, Chattanooga.
You don’t want to know how the kid got the tapeworm in the first place.
Many Holy Books have restrictions on diet, specific methods of preparing foods and keeping oneself clean. Old Testament mostly. Rituals are wound around these events, to help instill such habits into the daily culture. This is perhaps one of the reasons, when teaching primitive desert tribes to live in a healthy way.

But when they come to rest rooms inland in Texas they still follow the habit of stuffing stinky paper into the trash can rather than flushing it down.
“Hey, where’s my oatmeal cookie?”
If this was Britain's NHS, they'd have saved the tapeworms, and starved the human to death.
annnd!

“The outbreak strain making people sick was identified in samples collected from three hedgehogs in two ill patients’ homes in Minnesota.” (Those Somalians!)
(Did they get tags for those pets? Do the Dems get tags for their pets?)
Like North Korea?
“it is only people with a tapeworm infection in the intestine who can spread the potentially life-threatening eggs when proper hygiene is lacking or ignored.”
Like the poop handprint cave paintings left in public restrooms by followers of a certain religion, butt pirates, and certain third world cultures?
The kid lives in India. A very large sh!£hole. It probably happens a lot over there. This one just happened to cause a crisis while in a hospital, so it got noticed and reported. Out in the hinterlands it’s just another death among millions each year. IMHO.
