Of course I was grossed out,” the 42-year-old said Thursday, explaining that no one wants to think there’s a tapeworm growing inside an egg in his or her brain

Imagine the emotional roller coaster of that. Essentially a death sentence but then it is something treatable.

if the person who has the adult tapeworm gets the eggs on his or her hands and then prepares another person’s food, that other person can unknowingly eat the eggs. She said the eggs then travel to the small intestine, hatch into larvae, penetrate the bowel wall and get into the bloodstream, where they can migrate throughout the entire body, including the brain.
I don't think I can ever eat food someone else cooks again.

I've known two people who doctors told they had a terminal illness (pancreatic cancer and brain disease), and it later turned out they were actually pretty healthy. One lived 10 more years, the other is still kicking and looks great.
