‘Alive and wriggling’ worm found in Australian woman’s brain after becoming forgetful and depressed

In a world first, doctors have found a live worm that’s normally found in pythons in the brain of an Australian woman. Prior to the shocking discovery, the woman complained of forgetfulness and depression.

It was a fairly normal day for Dr Sanjaya Senanayake, until a neurosurgeon called him, saying: “Oh my god, you wouldn’t believe what I just found in this lady’s brain – and it’s alive and wriggling.”
