The doctor said that worms in the brain is normally caused by a person eating animal meat that has not been cooked properly.

“[The worms] normally come from raw meat, mostly seafood, which contains a lot of parasites,’ said the doctor. ‘Sometimes the worms get into a person’s brain through the blood and develop there.’

The woman did admit she had eaten a plate of frogs a few years earlier. 

She was lucky, she has since made a full recovery.
