I travel internationally A LOT, and read something that freaked me out about neurocysticercosis. I usually eat where the locals do in the foreign countries, because they usually know the best food. I know the health regulations aren't as strict as they are in the U.S.
I'm paranoid I might have picked something like that and not even know about it. I don't have any kind of worms in my stool or anything like that, but this seems like a silent killer. I read they use M.R.I. to detect cyst, but I don't want to get that unless it's necessary due to cost. I read it is a major cause for epilepsy in Latin America (I frequent Mexico a lot).
I get a physical with a complete blood count every year, that should show if I had any parasite right? I know I'm probably worrying for no reason, but I probably have been exposed to a lot of stuff in my global travels over the years, and really never paid it any mind til someone showed me an article.
Any insight?
