News of the weird

[Drnanjo]

Friends,

Can anyone tell me if this posting at my blackboard from a student is more
likely to be fact or urban legend?

<I just heard a peculiar story on TV earlier today (Spanish news), about a
lady who was found to have a worm in her brain, which was eating away at it.
Supposedly, it was due to her eating a pork taco in Mexico (she's from
Arizona). This was discovered on some medical scanning device. She underwent
brain surgery while awake in order to remove the worm. I had never heard of
such case like it, so I assume it is rare?>

Thanks. Also I was hoping if anyone had answers to my previous queries about
1)teaching "Theory Based Research" 2)Stress and the Brain 3) heroic dolphins.

Thanks so much for all your help.
