Some pictures with worm-infested brains are actually real! Ingestion of human feces contaminated with tapeworm cysts is one of the points of entry of these parasites into the human body. However, some worms could not bear staying on one place alone – migration is just simply inevitable. As a result, some of these migrate into the brain, hence the term cysticercosis. This could result to neurological symptoms such as seizures and even psychiatric disease.
