00:05Are you a die-hard bacon fan, with no breakfast, sandwich, or burger being truly complete without it?

00:10Then you may or may not want to continue watching.

00:13A recent medical case has revealed a potential harrowing consequence of eating undercooked pork products, including bacon, over many years.

00:22Seemingly out of the blue, an unnamed 52-year-old man began suffering from severe migraine headaches

00:28and intense pain at the back of his head.

00:31When seeking medical help, doctors discovered something shocking.

00:34His brain was riddled with cyst-like lesions full of tapeworm larvae.

00:38This caused a condition known as cysticercosis, requiring several weeks in intensive care.

00:44The source of the infection was the man's cooking and eating habits.

00:47He confessed that he had a lifelong preference for lightly cooked bacon,

00:51bacon that was almost raw and never crispy.

00:54This allowed tapeworm larvae to survive and infect his system.

00:58Cysticercosis results when tapeworm larvae infect bodily tissues after ingestion of tapeworm eggs or larvae,

01:05often from undercooked pork.
