Science Buzz After doing an MRI on a woman who was thought to have a possible brain tumor, doctors found “something down in her brain stem which is as deep in the brain as you can be.” They said it got there from eating under-cooked pork or not washing hands. This is so worse than eye worms, HOW DID IT GET THERE?!

Doctors in Arizona thought a Phoenix-area woman had a possible brain tumor, but it turned out there was something else penetrating her brain – a worm.
Rosemary Alvarez started experiencing numbness in her arm and blurred vision. She went to the emergency room twice and had a cat scan, but everything came up clear, MyFOXPhoenix.com reported.
It wasn’t until doctors took a closer look at an MRI that they discovered something very disturbing.
“Once we saw the MRI we realized this is something not good,” neurosurgeon, Dr. Peter Nakaji told the news station. “It's something down in her brain stem which is as deep in the brain as you can be.”
Alvarez was wheeled into surgery where Nakaji and his colleagues were expecting to remove a tumor, but they uncovered a worm instead.
On a video of the surgery, Nakaji can be heard chuckling after he made the discovery.

Very yucky! But I am glad they found the worm and could take it out before it was too late. The message is already to be taken out of the video.
