Awful news 🙁
Picked up a worm that is native to Australia and lives in carpet pythons.
>Carpet pythons were common near the woman’s lakeside home, and although she did not recall having any direct contact with snakes, she often foraged wild greens for cooking. She likely became infected after touching or eating plants contaminated by O. robertsi eggs, the case report authors suggested. After the eggs hatched, the larvae migrated to her organs.
Yeah. Wash your hands and your food. Cook your food.
„Doctors removed the helminth from the woman’s frontal lobe and examined the surrounding tissue“
not nice
