Doctors Found Live Six-inch Worm Inside The Brain of a 23 Year Old Woman
We all love exotic things. Be it animals, foods, lifestyles, or even last names. There is something about doing something out of the ordinary that people value a lot. But, with everything good does come something bad. Many people love exotic foods which are usually eaten raw for the full experience. But, what most people do not understand is that raw food has certain parasites that can grow in our bodies. They can travel from our stomachs to other major organs and cause damage.
1A terrifying discovery
Recently footage of a six-inch worm surfaced online. Now, this wouldn’t be anything special if the origin of the worm was not disclosed. The worm was found inside the brain of a 23-year-old patient in China. What makes this story even scarier is the fact that the worm was recovered alive.
