After enduring a horrible splitting headache for several days, Luis Ortiz decided to seek professional medical help. The 26-year-old had never experienced a headache like it, and he knew that something was very wrong.
What he didn’t expect to hear, however, was that he only had 30 minutes to live. He was feeling tremendous pain because he had something disgusting living in his brain. A TAPEWORM!
The tapeworm cut off oxygen to his brain, but miraculously enough, Ortiz pulled through. While he’s still very shaken up by the ordeal, doctors say that he will be back to normal in no time.
