A 52-year-old man in Florida with severe migraines that did not improve with medication was diagnosed with neurocysticercosis after doctors discovered tapeworm larvae in his brain. The tapeworm infection stemmed from the patient's consumption of undercooked bacon.
According to a report published in the American Journal of Case Reports, the unidentified man went to the doctor after his migraines suddenly worsened over four months and started to occur almost weekly.
