This Australian Woman Had Dry Cough, Depression And Abdominal Pain, Doctors Found A Rare Worm Inside Her Brain!

This worm is only found in pythons!

We have always been taught to clean our fruits and veggies properly before cleaning them as they might have a lot of dirt in them. We must follow these rules of cleanliness to avoid any kind of disease that knowingly or unknowingly harms us. A shocking case from Australia will make you want to practise such habits if you still ignore it. In this very rare case, a living roundworm was found in a woman’s brain who showed symptoms of memory loss and forgetfulness. The case was detected in Australia’s Canberra hospital where the woman was admitted after her condition worsened, and the doctors were shocked to find out the reason behind it.

The 64-year-old woman from New South Wales made headlines for bringing one of the rarest cases to the Canberra Hospital. Her early symptoms were as normal as diarrhoea, fever and abdominal pain. However, in 2022, her situation worsened and she started experiencing forgetfulness and depression. The woman was quickly taken to the  Canberra Hospital where the doctors carried out a series of tests on her. They finally operated on her brain and to their surprise, found a living roundworm in her brain. As per a report by The Guardian, the doctors quickly sent the 8 CM worm for further study, and it was revealed that this was only found in pythons!

After a lot of discussions, the doctors finally concluded that the worm reached inside the woman’s body through the greens that she ate. As per the report, the woman picked some grasses from around the lake and used it for eating purposes. The eggs of these worms must have been transferred into her body during this process, concluded the doctors. The woman never had direct contact with snakes! This one-of-a-kind case was also added to the hospital’s journal Emerging Infectious Diseases.
