Re: Tapeworms in brain, not common in Middle Eastern Countries

No, it really wouldn't be possible to hear the full story since it was years ago and I've lost touch with that friend. Best I can recall, the man almost died from the stuff they had to use to kill the parasites. I don't think they could do surgery or anything like that. They had to use something that would kill them inside the brain, which was risky.

I'm sorry I don't recall any more than that but I do remember it because it was the first time I had any idea that this was possible. Until then, I assumed parasites were something that only affected the colon.

After that, I read about parasites in the heart, brain and muscles. It is truly disgusting to me but I guess it's no different than the way the rest of nature operates. Seems like something is always living off something else in nature, I guess we aren't as far removed from that as we'd like to be, as humans. Tweet
