I take it back. Ari became a stupid dork after about three minutes. RFK Jr is answering his questions, and then Ari says he's not answering his questions. Pff.

I'm no fan of RFK, but Collins is a special kind of evil.

I think the dead worm story only came out because the worm was going to go on record and say "I ain't voting for him."

This story is a political career killer. It is worse IMHO than puppy/goat executioner.

To be fair, Kennedy didn't release this (like the puppy killer). It was from a decade-old deposition that someone dug up.

I forget if he mentioned why he was sleeping with his head in a bucket of worms, or how he otherwise managed to insert a brain-eating worm into his brain.
I generally avoid sleeping in the vicinity of brain-eating worms.

I watched one of the fake news networks persons questioning a neurologist yesterday. The neurologist said it was possible. This is usually caused from eating undercooked pork. I thought today's pork didn't have the worm problem. Personally, RFKJr is a bit kooky and he found himself a kooky healthcare provider.

Wait, undercooked pork gives you a tapeworm in your stomach, not a brain-eating worm in your brain.

I heard he was snorting brain-eating worms just like you snort cocaine (OK, not you personally), and that's how it got in his brain. I imagine it's safer to snort actual cocaine.

Here's a serious article about brain worms.
But the comments are a hoot!

Wow, a pork tapeworm CAN get in your brain. I did not know that.

Ya. Normally it uses Pigs as an intermediate host. Like Liver Fluke, Tapeworms have an Intermediate host where another form of the parasite hatches and infexts another species and that lays eggs that fond their way into humans to become Tapeworms, usually though eating Pork that's improperly cooked. Liver Fluke use River Snails as intermediate hosts, and the Larvae that hurst out of the snails is drunk by Cattle to become adult Liver Fluke. Fascinating, in a horrific kind of way.
But sometimes the Intermediate hosts hatches inside Humans, and they migrate throughout the body and can lodge in the brain. Since things rarely eat Humans their larvae don't go anywhere after that, and the intermediate worms eventually die. It's a very prominent disease in South America.

Brain worms became a topic of public fascination Wednesday after the The New York Times reported that presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was mistakenly diagnosed with a brain tumor after scans picked up abnormalities that turned out to be “caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died,” he reportedly said in a 2012 deposition reviewed by The New York Times.
Though the article did not name the parasite involved, two doctors told the Globe the most likely culprit is T. solium, a pork tapeworm that is by far the most common brain worm.
Over the course of his 30 year career, Hamer said he has treated about 20 patients suffering from a condition called cysticercosis, a parasitic disease caused by T. solium, which accounts for the vast majority of brain worms requiring medical attention.
RFK Jr’s brain worm came to light after he experienced memory loss and mental fogginess. After brain scans revealed a dark spot, doctors diagnosed Kennedy with brain cancer and scheduled surgery at Duke University Medical Center. While packing for the hospital, however, he received a call from a doctor in New York who convinced Kennedy he’d been misdiagnosed, and actually had a dead worm in his brain, the Times reported.
In an interview with the Times, Kennedy said he had recovered from the memory loss and fogginess and had no aftereffects from the parasite.
Cysticercosis is caused by the eggs of pork tapeworms. In most cases, someone eats food contaminated with the eggs, the eggs hatch and “sort of migrate through the body, ending up in muscles or in the brain, said Hamer.
The immune system then attacks the parasites and forms cysts around them that range in size from a couple millimeters to a couple centimeters. That can lead to irritation of the brain, which can potentially lead to seizures.
The condition is common in Latin America, where it is believed to be among the most common causes of seizures.
“It can form multiple cysts,” he said. “Some people’s brains almost look like Swiss cheese with lots of holes and there can be a fair amount of inflammation. And after many years, the parasite in there dies and the cyst will degenerate and become calcified. And at that point there’s no need for treatment.”
Medical treatment usually consists of a two-drug anti-parasitic regimen, and steroids to reduce the inflammation that usually occurs when the parasites die. Even without treatment, the parasites usually die out on their own, causing the cyst to calcify, a process that is often harmless. The condition rarely causes long-term damage.
In one famous case, an outbreak occurs in an Ashkenazi Jewish community in Manhattan, most of whom did not eat pork. The infection was eventually traced back to a Latin American domestic worker in one of the households, who had failed to wash their hands prior to preparing produce.
The disease, says Hamer, could cause the symptoms described by RFK Jr., depending on “what part of the brain it landed in and how much local inflammation there was.”
Though less common, other parasites are also a possibility. They include a flat worm contracted through wading into or swimming in some fresh water sources, predominantly in Brazil, but also in Africa and Asia. It usually infects the intestines, the liver and the bladder, and its eggs can migrate to the brain. Another type of worm is passed on by infected slugs, which shed the parasite in slime that sometimes gets onto vegetables consumed by humans and can then make its way to the brain. It can cause meningitis and has led to outbreaks in China, Southeast Asia and Hawaii. The most fatal is a brain-eating amoeba that is often contracted in warm fresh water, ingested through the nose, and often leads to encephalitis that is almost always fatal.

I call upon my supporter to demand that Donald the quadfectee and Joe Biden be tested for brain-eating worms, dead or alive. And every member of Congress, for that matter.

I've heard of brain eating amoebas. They're more prevalent now that the coastal Waters are so warm. If you use a neti pot, you need to be careful.

Then there is the common to carpet python roundworm Ophidascaris robertsi - a few years ago an 8cm long one was removed from a 64 year old NSW woman’s brain.
