Tapeworms can not only enter the human intestine from undercooked pork, but they can also enter the brain from consuming faces-infected foods.
In #PureScience, ThePrint’s Sandhya Ramesh explains a case study of the common neglected disease, neurocysticercosis, where a patient started to have seizures because of tapeworm cysts in his brain.

@@ABHISHEK.457hello sir
Sandhya is an excellent science jurno❤
When i was young around 14-15 years i also suffered from this and because of this my school life became shit weekly’s visit to Dr. Around 3-4 year always on medication even if i have to out of town even for 3-4 days i need take permission from Dr. Well i was young at that time so I don’t really understand what going on but because of my body gets weak. Glad to see you make video on that.
I am a patient .Glad to see a video made on it
How is your health now?
This was very informative Sandhya! Thanks to the Print team for having this science window open for people to understand and contemplate about general scientific and academic advancements around us!
In general, public is just and only swayed away with technological developments, which is fine but it's very important to understand the scientific realm!
Thank you for such informative videos. Cheers :)
Fantatic coverage.. Thanks 🙏
I am also suffering from that from that

Can you please contact me it's urgent
aap kasie ho aab or konsi medicine lete ho aap
Could you please shed some light on how these larvae or eggs pass through the blood brain barrier?
when someone eats raw or undercooked pork meat or just meat I think?? Through your digestive system at first they just go to random organs of the human body through blood flow and in this scenario they just got to the brain I think they do something too that looks like a pimple in the brain? I'm sorry I don't remember well
@@bernkastel2 Well thank you, it answers my question somewhat, it's still better than being left with a question and no answer
Thanks for the information. I had a fall one day, and i went to the hospital and doctor told me that i was perfect ly fine . But I new that something is not right with my health, then i personally went to scaning centre for MRI. Then the report came and i was shoked to hear that i had a seizure, and i had tapeworm in my brain . Because of God Grace I'm alive today. now Tapeworm died .Now I'm in medication. For seizure

I have a 4 year old son who started having seizures since 1 month, all kinds of tests were done on him but no disease was found in the reports, his seizures increased with age up to 3 days. Began to live, when the age of the child. He became 3 years old, at that time he was in seizures for 2 months and could neither walk nor sit, now he is 4 years old, seizures come every day in the evening and sometimes last all night, you know about this. can help
1. It can be epilepsy it can be caused by low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) or may be related to how the heart is working.
2. It may be because of a psychological cause.
3. Maybe it has something to do with heredity.
If you think it's none of these can you tell me more I'm not a professional since I switched from med to something else but I'll try
I hope my brain does not have tapeworm. I hope my brain does not have tapeworm eggs.
It probably does 🪱
Hi Doctor... My age is 38 ..In 2019 I got fits like my neck was pulling towards left side and I was unconscious for about 2-5 minutes.. I got diagnosed for seizure in my brain. After seeing MRI scan my doctor said it looks like warm in my Brian.. He suggested Levigress 500mg table for one year.. And Zentel 400mg tablet for one month.. After completing the course of tablets..I didn't get fits... I feel normal after that... But some times i feel my head is heavy and rotating.... I get itching more often in head... Please suggest is it side effects of tablets or should I again visit the doctor and do scanning? I am confused if my problem cured or not... Please suggest what to do
Visit again and do scanning and try another doctor, i think Albendazole is needed for that
I had this same issue in 2008 I got diagnosed, been on medic for 3 years Valpirin 300CR... I often get CT SCAN, JUST TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS GOOD , SO VISIT A DOCTOR AND GET UR CT SCAN AGAIN
NOTHING HARM IN THAT
@@ajayvikrams.5665hello sir

Can a person bath in this condition after discharge from hospital plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz reply
Dr. How long does it take brain infection due to pork consumption
This scary or how we get rid of this
Can they miss it in a brain MRI? I've had a few and doctors didn't mention it. Or can the tapeworm be somewhere else and cause issues in the brain?
Well primarily tapeworms can go to various parts of the human body not just the head or the stomach and you know the human body is a sector just like our world. If something happens to one the whole entire system is affected it's better if you get a full body examination. It might cost you but it'll cost you more if you don't do anything about it
@@bernkastel2 Thank you so much, I sure will, blessings

It’s called Pure Science :)

nature is so scary.... but interesting
I have worked and published a paper on Neurocysticercosis for three years during my MBBS back in 2007 under guidance of respected Dr Gagandeep Singh, Ludhiana. Pork should be avoided.
My sibling got it as she used to eat mud during childhood, (we do not eat pork). It was roughly around 1992 , we had/ still have a very difficult time for the sibling. The medicines give lifelong side effects
Back then in 1992 Praziquantel was used which had side effects. Not used nowadays.
@@shimankumaheshwari6904 what meds are commonly prescribed now? Do they have any significant damage on the brain?
@@himanshu-nl4yi Mostly anti- epileptic drugs which suppress seizure activity...steroids...all drugs are safe...
@@shimankumaheshwari6904 One of the medicine I still remember was tegretol
It’s very common??
I had a seizure when I was six and it was later revealed that I had NCC and went on medication for three years and was perfectly fine for five years and again got a seizure after five years and went on medication again for 4 years and now I feel fine but I am extremely scared to go through all this shit for the third time. I lost all my interest in studies due to all this
What medication did you take?
Same is experienced by friend
No neurocysticercosis don't always require surgery it can be treated by medication only with good prognosis

Great
Can you stop the spread of the tape worm by deworming the pig? ?
well typically if it's the intestinal type yes, but if it's cysticercosis (this) I don't recommend it since most probably it'll take almost their whole life span to and pigs are usually slaughter on 50-75% of their lives.
Good question 🤔?
This case is similar to mine
Am vegan for 10 year I got seizure because of this tape worm a month ago

I'm grateful to have come across you Dr Igudia youtube, I'm now free after I used the medicine you sent me, having Herpes almost ruined my life but I'm happy today after I used your treatment.
It’ll only kill you if your seizure gives you a huge whack to the brain
I'm scared of cabbages now😢
same here I also have NCC
@@ninshuotsutsuki2862 will you do surgery ?
It can happen with any meat. More common with Pig & Cow meat
no, tenia solium the one that rich the brain muscles or tissues is specific to pigs the tenia found in cows don't leave the digestive system
I will not suffer from neurocysticercosis.
I will not die.
@@raindropsofsky it can be cured just by meds you know
Glory to God ,who strictly prohibited Pork meat. He knows what is good for humans and what is bad for humans.
The Qur’an prohibits the consumption of pork in no less than 4 different places.
It is prohibited in 2:173, 5:3, 6:145 and 16:115.
“Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine,
and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than Allah.”
[Al-Qur’an 5:3]. Always take food from healthy atmosphere whether its veg or non veg. Problem with Pork is that they are designed to eat filth . So chances of getting tape worm form it are multiple times higher than any other source.

my sibling is suffering too, he is pure vegetarian but he used to eat raw vegetables, he was 1st diagnosed at 9 and he was in medication for 2 years, after that doctors recommended not to continue medicine and said he is completely cured . He was doing well for few years but he got the seizure attack at the age of 15 and was kept in medication again for the same reason. He was taking his medicine timely and for 5 years he didn't get any attack but he got another seizure attack yesterday at the age of 22. Now he is recommended libera 500, corticoids and albendazole . Please tell me if the medicines has side effects and if disease can be cured completely or not ?
It can be cured completely.
Please study the side effects of those drugs and consider their safety.
Let him eat pineapple and diatomaceous earth (food grade) often.
It is probably a side effect, patients are usually required to take anti seizure pills for 3 or more years for full recovery

Why don't ppl stop eating meat? I'm Vegan but will be doing parasite cleanse soon ...
I am vegan I still got it
A vegan may be more likely to get neurocysticercosis because they eat a lot of raw food. Contaminated vegetables are one of the main sources of this parasite.
Neurocysticercosis is not fatal. Neurocysticercosis will not be fatal.
Be Vegetarian....😅

that shows your half knowledge or lack of understanding of this subject. The message is very clear, any uncooked food, veg or non veg carries this cyst. be humble and upgrade your knowledge.

"The bull was as white as a white lotus flower. He was terrified of the śūdra who was beating him, and he was so afraid that he was standing on one leg, trembling and urinating.
He [Mahārāja Parīkṣit] repeatedly addressed and questioned the bull thus: O son of Surabhi, who has cut off your three legs? In the state of the kings who are obedient to the laws of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, there is no one as unhappy as you.
O bull, you are offenseless and thoroughly honest; therefore I wish all good to you. Please tell me of the perpetrator of these mutilations, which blacken the reputation of the sons of Pṛthā.
Whoever causes offenseless living beings to suffer must fear me anywhere and everywhere in the world. By curbing dishonest miscreants, one automatically benefits the offenseless.
An upstart living being who commits offenses by torturing those who are offenseless shall be directly uprooted by me, even though he be a denizen of heaven with armor and decorations.
The supreme duty of the ruling king is to give all protection to law-abiding persons and to chastise those who stray from the ordinances of the scriptures in ordinary times, when there is no emergency.
The personality of religion said: These words just spoken by you befit a person of the Pāṇḍava dynasty. Captivated by the devotional qualities of the Pāṇḍavas, even Lord Kṛṣṇa, the Personality of Godhead, performed duties as a messenger.
O greatest among human beings, it is very difficult to ascertain the particular miscreant who has caused our sufferings, because we are bewildered by all the different opinions of theoretical philosophers.
Sūta Gosvāmī said: O best among the brāhmaṇas, the Emperor Parīkṣit, thus hearing the personality of religion speak, was fully satisfied, and without mistake or regret he gave his reply.
The King said: O you, who are in the form of a bull! You know the truth of religion, and you are speaking according to the principle that the destination intended for the perpetrator of irreligious acts is also intended for one who identifies the perpetrator. You are no other than the personality of religion." (Srimad Bhagavatam 1, 17, t. 2,12-18,21-22).
