Official's bizarre death has equally odd explanation

Official's bizarre death has equally odd explanation:

"City officials say they believe that their finance director was suffering from brain damage caused by a rare parasite that he picked up while traveling in Mexico a few years ago. The damage impairs a person's social decision-making abilities."

My wife, until recently a nurse at The Johns Hopkins Department of Neurology, saw for herself an MRI of this type of parasitic infestation in a patient being treated at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. Called neurocysticercosis, it is a worm-like parasite capable of passing through the blood-brain barrier and wreaking all sorts of havoc inside the brain of the human host. This is seen often across latin America, including Mexico and other Central American nations.

This affliction was not well known in the US. For example, in 1983, a total of 80 cases were reported in all 4 Hospitals of Los Angeles. Today, across the southwestern US, Neurocysticercosis accounts for 10% of admissions for seizures. It is generally believed to be on the increase due to the increase in alien population in the area.

MEANS OF TRANSMISSION:
The parasite lays eggs inside the human host, which are then passed through the bowel and fecal matter. Poor hand washing, especially by food service workers, can be cited as a major means of transmission. eColi has never been more threatening than it is now.

Now you know why all departments of health require handwashing, and why the US Department of State requires health records for persons entering to work in the USA.

If the government did anything else, the same political groups in favor of illegal immigration would bash the government for negligence.

Let's get on the same page, here.
