Brain Worm

They were treated with a medicine called albendazole, which stops the worms from absorbing energy, ultimately killing them.

It's believed that he contracted the illness from eating undercooked bacon after the patient told doctors about his ''lifelong preference for soft bacon.''

The Ophidascaris robertsi roundworm was pulled from the 64-year-old woman after brain surgery, still alive and wriggling.

The new technology will be pivotal in their project to create a 4D neuro-developmental "worm atlas".

The researchers, led by Tufts professor Michael Levin and undergraduate student Maya Emmons-Bell, cut off the heads of some Girardia dorotocephala - worms known to regenerate with ease.
