No brain tumor/just a worm

[Swimmer]

This morning on the news station, maybe local/maybe national, thier was a story about a woman who was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Doctors went in to take a look at it and found a worm, the type of worm that starts and grows in a persons body as a result of eating uncooked, or not cooked enough pork.

The film showed the doctors using thier tools at the top of the spinal column at the base of the brain stem latch onto this moving worm and pull it out.

Wifey works, in a lab, at a hospital on the "south shore" and has told me stories about people needing worms taken out of thier bodies from the same thing. I think it happens most of the time in muscle tissue. I think this occurs more frequently in people of Portugese heritage, because they eat so much pork.

Sorry I posted this on the main forum...............thanks for moving it.
