A trip to India left me with 38 parasites in my brainThe first time Lowri Denman knew something was wrong was when she made the horrifying discovery of a metre-long tapeworm after going to the toilet."It looked absolutely disgusting, like Sellotape with like little ridges in it," said the 42-year-old from Carmarthen.It was the first symptom of neurocysticercosis, which left Lowri with 38 parasites in her brain causing extreme headaches, seizures and psychosis.https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce8jrzemdyko
She did not eat pork, she ate food contaminated with the feces of someone infected with tapeworm and ate the eggs, that lead to the brain infection.
