A live worm has been living in a Chinese brain for 17 years

The young Chinese "Chen Bo" did not expect that the symptoms that haunted him for the past 17 years were caused by a live worm inhabiting his brain.

The British newspaper "Daily Mail" reported that doctors from Wuchang University in eastern China conducted a CT scan of Chen (23 years old), to surprise a 12-centimeter-long tapeworm moving in the brain, and suggested that it was eaten by uncooked wild animals such as frogs and snakes.

 Since he was 6 years old, the young man has suffered from numbness in his hands and feet, headache and frequent nausea, but he decided to go to the hospital after losing sensation in his right half of his body, as doctors succeeded in removing the worm from his brain, and it is gradually recovering.
