A British woman, Lowri Denman, says a trip to India in 2007 resulted in neurocysticercosis, a brain infection caused by tapeworm larvae. According to her account, what began as ongoing health problems was initially treated as a simple tapeworm, but later doctors diagnosed a more serious condition in which larvae lodge in the brain. She reports that imaging and medical evaluation identified 38 parasites in her brain, leading to symptoms including severe headaches, seizures, and episodes described as anxiety and psychosis. Her illness spans years, and she says she underwent extensive treatment and spent time in a neuropsychiatric ward during her recovery. Denman is now stable and has been sharing her experience to raise awareness of neurocysticercosis, which is considered rare in the UK. The reports describe her focus on informing others about the potential consequences of tapeworm infections and the importance of appropriate diagnosis and care.
