“For example, Person A can consume raw or undercooked pork that has been infected by the Taenia Solium. They can then acquire the intestinal tapeworm that may cause mild GI symptoms, passing eggs into their stool. Person B can then consume those eggs if Person A doesn’t wash their hands after using the restroom and prepares food for Person B. Once Person B consumes the fecal-contaminated food made by Person A, the eggs can hatch and penetrate through Person B’s intestinal wall, spreading to other parts of their body — including their brain, eyes, and other tissues. The larvae will then occupy a space in Person B’s brain (called neurocysticercosis),” Grunch further explained.
