Illegal alien from Guatemala had tapeworms in his brain. Treated in Boston

Let me guess, they gave him ivermectin?

Call me a compassionate conservative, but I don't have a problem with my tax dollars going to something constructive like removing worms from a man's brain. There's a lot more wasteful useless bullshite the government does than that.

I had no idea Tapeworms could move to the brain. I've always thought they stayed in the GI system. I learn new stuff everyday.

Me neither…… if he is deported immediately after his eyes line back up and the stitches hold.

But no.. we will turn him loose, put him and his family on Medicaid if they aren’t already, give him disability payments, and he will be on his taxpayer paid for phone to his family in Guatemala telling them how much free shite they can get if they come.

Then you have 20 more fricken people on their way here.

yeah - me too - NOW I have to worry about my already failing mental capacity.

THANKs a LOT!!!

For every life saving surgery that happens under this line of thinking, there are hundreds of thousands of people receiving drugs that they don’t need. Which we taxpayers pay for.

It’s probably Echinococcus granulosa. Dogs are the primary host for this small tapeworm. The larval stage can be found in sheep, pigs, goats or cattle after ingesting the eggs found in dog feces. Ingesting the larva or eggs can result in hydatid disease, cysts of varying size that can affect organs throughout the body.

It is rare in North America but frequently found in Central and South America. It is usually transmitted by food/water contamination with dog feces or ingesting the organs of intermediate hosts such as sheep. It is most common in people who raise sheep.
