happened.

can these worms in the uterus prevent you from having your monthly cycle, and as well prevent you from conceiving?

Just wondering,

Tiny eggs travel even to the brain, as reported earlier concerning the person who got a worm in their brain form traveling in Mexico. The worm grew from an egg.

Here is the story for all of you who missed it.The egg developed into the

worm, which moved

into her blood stream and to her brain,

Woman Recuperating After Doctors Remove Parasite

April 13 — An Arizona woman says she's feeling good, a little more than a

week after undergoing six hours of surgery to remove a worm that had lodged

in her brain.

Dawn Becerra and her doctors believe the parasite got into her system three

years ago, when she ate a pork taco while on a visit to Mexico.

Becerra said she was ill for three weeks after eating the taco. Soon after,

she began suffering violent seizures. Later, doctors determined she had a

parasitic worm in her brain and it had caused neurocysticercosis — a lesion

in her brain.

Poor Sanitation Allows Parasite to Spread

Doctors at Arizona's Mayo Clinic in sdale believe the taco contained

Taenia solium, a parasite that is common in Latin America. It can be

transmitted by infected food prepared by someone who has not followed proper

sanitation procedures after coming into contact with the creature's eggs,

which can be present in human feces.

Some experts point out that it is difficult to know for certain that the taco

was the source of the worm.

However Becerra ingested the parasite, it attached itself as an egg to her

intestinal wall. Eventually, the egg developed into the worm, which moved

into her blood stream and to her brain, said Dr. ph Sirven, who operated

on Becerra.

Once in the brain, the worm causes little harm until it eventually dies and

decays, thereby inflaming surrounding tissue.

" It's after the worm dies that the body reacts to something foreign, " Sirven

explained.

Undergoing Brain Surgery While Awake

Although Becerra seems to have kept a good attitude — she even gave the worm

a nickname, Tonya — she said the seizures it caused were devastating. She

reached a point where she could no longer tolerate them.

" You have to be conscious that you can have them at any time, " Becerra told

ABCNEWS' Good Morning America on Thursday, " and I lived with the thought that

there was a worm in my brain. "

She made the decision to have it removed and just when she thought the

situation couldn't get any worse — it did.

Doctors told her that she would have to undergo brain surgery while she was

completely conscious because the procedure would take them into an extremely

sensitive area of the brain.

‘She Was Very Lucky’

Beccera underwent the six-hour procedure last week — awake the entire time.

She received only acupuncture and a mild anesthesia to deal with the pain.

Doctors spoke to the bilingual Becerra in both Spanish and English during the

operation.

Eventually, they found the decayed worm and removed it — without doing any

long-term damage to their patient.

" She was very lucky because she had only one cyst, " said Sirven.

" She should be in good shape now. "

Becerra is recovering quickly, and doctors say she won't need a checkup for

six months.

But it has still been a bizarre and difficult ordeal for her.

" The fascinating part about this is that it's much more common than people

think, " notes Sirven. And through good sanitation and cooking pork

thoroughly, he says, " it's very, very preventable. "

The World Health Organization says neurocysticercosis is a common cause of

epilepsy in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

Apparently parasites have all different stages and cycles and many

reproduce within the body. Some grow in the small intestine, lay eggs

in the colon. Eggs and larvae can travel to or be breathed into the

lungs, then when you cough them up, some are swallowed to grow in the

intestines again. Some live in the uterus. Pin worms travel outside

the body to lay eggs and can wander into the vagina and end up living

in the uterus, etc.
