WTF?? He was mercury poisoned and had a brain worm? Was he doing some kind of 1800s-era science experiments at home?

Apparently just eating an enormous amount of tuna + picked up the worm larva from some undercooked pork!

How does a worm go from your stomach, into your brain? That doesn't make sense.

They bite through the lining of the stomach and circulate with blood looking for tissue to develop inside of. They usually do this in pigs, but it sometimes happens in humans
