Cysticercosis is a disorder that happens when a kind of tapeworm, which normally lives in the intestines, sends its larvae into the muscles or brain tissue. It typically happens after consuming contaminated food, mainly meat. Through the skin, one may feel the hard cysts that the larvae produce. Due to how quickly worms decompose, it is usually safe. However, the cysts left over from deceased worms might seriously harm your health. Doctors advise surgery as a treatment for this. The cyst may also get into the eyes, which could lead to distorted or hazy vision.
