Parasitic larvae discovered after unexplained weekly migraines failed to respond to medication

Parasitic tapeworm larvae have been found in a man’s brain following weeks of worsening migraines, which researchers believe were caused by his consumption of undercooked bacon.

In a report released last week, the American Journal of Case Reports documented an unidentified 52-year-old American man who was experiencing weekly migraines that were unresponsive to medication.

The man denied traveling to “high-risk areas [for] food security and lived at home with his wife and cat in a modern home”, according to the report. Upon further questioning, the man revealed that he did have a preference for “lightly cooked, non-crispy bacon” which he ate for most of his life.

From an episode of House, I think they just used the usual anti-parasitic meds?
