Brain Worms

Brain worms can be contracted by eating undercooked pork, as well as by coming into contact with someone who has worm eggs in their body and who hasn't washed their hands.

But the good news about brain worms is that they're generally less dangerous than having a brain tumor. Which is why a Phoenix-area woman was relieved when her brain tumor turned out to be a brain worm. The reason I'm posting this on Weird Universe: because Fox 10 Chattanooga has a video of the worm being removed (still alive) from her brain.

At first I was a little nervous cause I'm sitting here eating breakfast and watching a video on removing a worm from someone's brain...but that wasn't bad.

Good ole Chattanooga coming through for us. If it's not nasty hookers, it's nasty brain worm videos...which is better looking than the hookers.

I love the comments on prayer and how it worked. How did it work? If it would've worked then the whole thing would have been gone. Am I to believe that God just changed the tumor into a worm? Those types of comments, in my opinion, are so stupid and don't show that prayer works.

Maybe she should have prayed for the tumor to turn into a bundle of cash to pay for the operation.

Gary - you made it kind of hard to beat your comment about the pastrami sandwich. LOL
