Can Cabbage Cause Brain Worm?

Have you ever heard the strange story about a tiny insect that can make its way into a cabbage before making its way into the human brain and causing damage and havoc? This bizarre myth has been going around for years, but it's time to clear the air. In this video, we'll investigate the myths and realities surrounding the cabbage worm and its alleged brain-invading powers.

Some people tend to believe these myths and avoid consuming cabbage and other leafy vegetables. But if we think for a moment about how the concept of worms came into the mind of the general public, or is it possible for a worm to invade our brain?

Yes, it is very much possible for worms to gain access to your brain, but not cabbage worms. There is no scientific evidence found that cabbage worms can cause any harm to humans. The real culprit is tapeworm.

Have you ever heard of the disease Neurocysticercosis? It may appear to be a complicated concept, but I’m here to explain it in layman's terms. Neurocysticercosis is a brain disorder caused by microscopic parasites known as cysticerci. Cysticerci are the larvae (young form) of a tapeworm called Taenia solium. This parasite is common in pigs.
