Worm in Woman's Brain

Worm in Woman's Brain: In case you're looking for something else to be thankful about, here's the story of a woman who found a worm burrowed into her brain. Doctors thought she had a brain tumor, instead they found the worm. If you can stomach it, there's a video of the worm being removed.

hummm...is this the "flesh-eating" worm in hell of which Mark 9:44-48 speaks?

Could this then be an accurate use of "hell on earth" for this women?

PS: Dear reader, please excuse faulty logic above as pure jest.

Quote from the article: "Once we saw the MRI we realized this is something not good,"

I'm sorry, but the way that's stated seems comical to me.

Sensational media. I am a medical missy doc in India. This is so common that we don't even bat an eye here. It almost never needs surgery and it is not caused from eating infected pork (at least not directly). Many inaccuracies, but hey it made it more gripping.. that is what media is all about today right? (Esp. Fox)_.

Could this be the cause of the migraines?
