Rare Medical Condition Explained by Dr. Sanjay Gupta
Dr. Sanjay Gupta explained a rare medical condition caused by eating undercooked pork, where porkworm larvae enter the bloodstream and travel to various organs, including the brain. The larvae can form cysts in the brain, leading to symptoms like headaches and seizures. This condition is rare but occurs a few thousand times a year, typically appearing as tiny spots on or near the brain's surface in MRI scans.
