Yeap, thats what I said folks. It seems that in this modern age of teleportation and and zero G sports bras. nightmares can still come true.
It seems this woman here, had what she thought was a brain tumor, so they go in remove it only to find a worm in her brain :eek:
I don't know how far reaching hollywoods desensitized influence is in our modern society. But follow me here on this. They found living squirming fish food in this chicks melon!!
Again::eek:
So uhh. Thats pretty scary.. Not only are we succeptable to drop dead from spontaneous cancer and flash gran maul seizures "for no known rhyme or reason"..
Now worms can decide to just snack on our zombie zones....
sigh. is there any terrible nightmares left that haven't leaked through to reality yet??

Worm Removed From Woman's Brain
(Nov. 24) - A doctor operating on a 37-year-old Phoenix woman thought to have a brain tumor found something entirely different: a parasitic worm.
ABC News reports (http://abcnews.go.com/Health/Story?id=6309464&page=1) that Rosemary Alvarez, who underwent the procedure last summer after experiencing difficulty swallowing and numbness in her left arm, had a tapeworm called Taenia solium inside her head.
It turns out Alvarez likely contracted the tapeworm at some point by eating food tainted with the feces of a person infected with the parasite. "It wasn't that she had poor hygiene, she was just a victim," said neurosurgeon Peter Nakaji, who ended up extracting the worm.
With the exception of a numb feeling in the back of her head, Alvarez has recovered nicely since the operation and is back to living a normal life.
Watch the video below to find out more about Alvarez's ordeal and tell us whether you've ever had a tapeworm.
