Dirty Vegetables And Undercooked Meat Can Cause Brain Worms

AIIMS neurologist Dr Priyanka Shehrawat warned that brain worm disease is not caused by cabbage alone. Parasite eggs from contaminated vegetables, soil, or undercooked pork can enter the body and lodge in the brain, causing inflammation, headaches, vomiting and dizziness. Proper washing, thorough cooking and avoiding raw and undercooked food prevent infection.
