Worm removed from woman's brain
"A woman from the US has had a live worm removed from her brain.
Surgeons thought Rosemary Alvarez had a brain tumour, but on operating they discovered the worm.
Dr Peter Nakaji said Mrs Alvarez probably picked up the worm after eating undercooked meat."
It can also be spread when someone with the organism prepares food without washing their hands.
