A guy had a headache for several days. Tylenol didn't help, so his doctors thought he might have high blood pressure. The blood pressure medication didn't help, and the guy collapsed. Turns out he had tapeworms. Brain tapeworms. I didn't know this could happen. In the interest of freaking out everyone on NS who eats out and gets headaches I present this news story.

There was an episode of House with something similar.

It's not brainworms........it's attack of the Bodysnatchers!

Braaiiinnnnsssssssss......

Bow down to your tapeworm overlords...

You do realize that you basically made sure that any hypochondriacs on the forum are frantically phoning every doctor in town to find out if they have worms in their head, right?

Sure, everybody rushes to judgment when a man has a brain full of worms, but what about when worms help reduce rates of allergies and asthma?

My brainworms speak to me. They tell me to cut people.

This explains quite a bit, you know.

I like to think I did, but deep down inside I don't think anyone here is likely to be really freaked out.

Omgjfctmizomg

i've been having headaches for the past week, i'm putting them down to alcohol withdrawal symptoms though.

Brain tapeworms are our allies. They help us. They're is no need too eliminate them....I'm not under thier control...



(HELP ME!)

:eek: *phones her brain worm doctor*
Your doctor is a brain worm?

Worms don't like my brain because i do this :headbang:

they stay in my bowels enabling me to eat massive quantities of food and not gain weight.:rolleyes:

In a completely unrelated topic I just saved a bundle on my care insurance.
:confused:

The thought of any worm thing living in me reminds me of the Goa'uld (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goa%27uld) from Stargate.

Your doctor is a brain worm?

is that a problem?

The main cause of tapeworms is the consumption of Macaroni & Cheese.

Here, have a lollypop. I washed my hands, I promise.

"He's scared now. He's scared of any food from outside," Ramirez said through his sister who interpreted for him.

Lol, it sounds like the guy would have an heart atack if he went to a supermarket and saw all the "food from outside".

Man, I would have had another slave if the doctors had not found my pet brian worms. *shakes fist*

Do not worry, people of the forum as I programmed them to only infect people of little minds and lack of will power.

I'm never eating again.

I'm never eating again.

I'm sure IV's are no safer, just more uncomfortable.

That's even worse than ass marbles (http://www.bash.org/?714660)!

Great, now I can't eat pork ever again, either. Its bad enough that I had to give up veal in order to protect my precious brains, but now bacon, too?
When will the vengeful spirit of nature be at peace? Where will it all end?!

But the Urban Legends show said this couldn;t be true...

reminds me of a snopes article of a patient with maggots in his brain.

picture warning, some may not want to look at this (http://snopes.com/photos/medical/maggots.asp)

Best way to break up ever. I'm remembering that.

The best way to avoid the disease, doctors say, is to wash your hands, cook meats thoroughly, especially pork, and to wash fruits and vegetables.Mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaa

Oh no! The Yeerks!

Damn, how many brain parasites are there?

Damn, how many brain parasites are there?

Not many. The brain isn't particularly nutritious, and killing the host is generall counterproductive.

reminds me of that woman who masturbated with the lobster (she used a candle to make its tail go) and gave birth to baby mud parasites…

I can try to find the story or just post what I remember who wants to hear?

Wheather it's true or not I want to hear. Weird stories interest me.
