Earlier in the year I wrote about a hoax involving ants on the brain.
The thought of that is so bizarre that most people would have realised straight away that it wasn’t true.
However, as often happens, real life is stranger than fiction.
Rosemary Alvarez went to hospital thinking she might have a brain tumor but surgeons discovered something else…
Dr Peter Nakaji believes that Mrs Alvarez probably acquired the worm through eating undercooked meat.

Unfortunately I can’t take the credit.. I still have a couple of people who email things of note from time to time and this story was one of them.
It must have been awful for the woman in question
As nasty as a worm sounds I am sure the lady in question was rather happy it wasnt a tumor.
Of that I think we can be certain Peter.
I hope she is ok. Do you know if there were any long lasting effects?
I’ve not heard anyone specifically mention it so I hope not.
Yuck. There go my plans for lunch.
You were thinking of having the brain or the worm today?
Braaaaaains!
The meat sandwich somehow lost its appeal.
Well what are you worried about then???
