A woman, Lowri Denman, says she later discovered a severe tapeworm infection after initially mistaking her symptoms for a common stomach illness. According to the account published by the Daily Mail, she reported feeling unwell but did not immediately identify the cause. She subsequently learned she had a very large tapeworm in her gut, described as about a metre long, and additional tapeworms in her brain, described as 38. The article presents her personal warning-sign experience and the medical consequences of the condition, stating that the infection nearly killed her.
