Is that what Kahn threw into Checkov's helmet?

Do you watch Red Eye? I didn't read your article, but I'm assuming it was similar to what they covered. Gross.

get it out get it out...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

pork anyone?

Raymond Kuhn, professor of biology and an expert on parasites at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, N.C. said:"When it gets down into their small intestine, it latches on, and then it starts growing like an alien."

I was unaware that we knew how aliens grew, exactly. lol

I for one welcome our new brain worm overlords

Oh, son of a sh*t. Why did I read that?
Now I'm going to have nightmares. At least I don't eat pork.

The article said it depends on how you consumed the parasite determines whether it goes to the intestine or the brain. Sooo, how exactly would one snort feces infected pork?

It was a matter of whether you ingested eggs or the cysts which determined where it went.

Don't eat pig E36 M3.

didn't they cover this one on an episode of House?

They've covered just about everything else in his shotgun approach to medicine that I wouldn't be surprised

check out cracked.com for a synopsis of House episodes.

Guess what I had for dinner tonight?

Better drink enough beer to kill any possible infestation, or at least to forget I saw this thread.

Yeah, those things are bad. We used to have to pluck them out of brains all the time. Typically in Hispanics, as there seems to be a lot more of them little suckers down there. A lot of the time you don't know what you're gonna get till you pull the goober out the the patient's brain and cut it in half and find a worm.

Great, the freakin' eggs can live in formaldehyde for three months. One more damn thing to worry about.

Like Joe, I'm going to try to pickle any that might show up in my noggin. Of course, in my case they'll have lots of room.
