Přes čtyři palce dlouhý červ vlezl mladému studentovi do mozku když se poranil na ruce.  Žil tam dva roky a kromě mozku mu nejspíš už lezl i na nervy.

The 19-year-old man named Wen Xiaoli is believed to have been infected with the spirometra erinaceieuropaei larvae two years ago when he accidentally cut his hand while killing a frog for food. In the two years that followed, Wen experienced intense migraines and even mild epilepsy, leading him to seek out experts in the city of Changsha, capital of Central China’s Hunan Province. After detailed scans of his head at Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, doctors were stunned when they discovered he was suffering from sparganosis - a tapeworm infection. Not only was the parasite fully formed, it was also alive and appeared to be living comfortably off his brain cells. Neurosurgeon Yang Zhiquan and his team advised Wen to operate, and they opened up his skull to retrieve the writhing tapeworm in a swift two minutes. It was not, however, an easy task, as Doctor Yang later explained: "It was alive; it was still moving inside the brain. "We had to remove it intact and couldn't risk breaking its body or else it would continue to survive inside. "That’s why we had to pull it out slowly and carefully." The worm measured a staggering 11 centimetres (4.33 inches) in length and had been given ample time to develop from a larva into the full-blown brain-eating parasite. Yang added: "Parasitic infections are very rare, but the larvae are able to move all around the body and once in the brain it will feed off brain cells to survive. "At the same time, these parasites excrete toxic waste that is harmful to the brain - so much so that it could cause nerve damage and brain cell loss." The medic added that serious symptoms of sparganosis include epilepsy, paralysis, the loss of memory and even speech. The teenager, now recovering from his operation, said of th

 

Teenager k parazitu přišel když se pořezal při stahování žáby z kůže. Od té doby trpěl migrénami a velkou bolestí hlavy. Až lékař objevil na rengenu 11 centimetrů dlouhou tasemnici, která se živila jeho mozkovými buňkami.

 

Operace byla náročná a obnášela velká rizika. Červ se totiž musel dostat ven v celku aby nenapáchal další škody. Avšak dopadla dobře a Win se již zotavuje. Už mu to tolik na mozek neleze.
