The first time Lowri Denman knew something was wrong was when she made the horrifying discovery of a metre-long tapeworm after going to the toilet.

"It looked absolutely disgusting, like Sellotape with like little ridges in it," said the 42-year-old from Carmarthen.

It was the first symptom of neurocysticercosis, which left Lowri with 38 parasites in her brain causing extreme headaches, seizures and psychosis.

She is one of only a handful of people in the UK who are diagnosed with the brain infection each year, which is caused by the larvae of the pork tapeworm.

After spending years regaining her health, Lowri wants to turn her ordeal into something positive by raising awareness of the condition.

Lowri made the decision to avoid meat for the trip, hoping it would help her to avoid food poisoning, but Dr Healy believes she inadvertently ate pork that contained microscopic tapeworm eggs.

It was not until three years later, in 2010, that Lowri discovered the tapeworm when in a restaurant toilet and flushed it down the loo.

lmao @ this logic, there's no evidence whatsoever that Turdistan had anything to do with this. She probably got infected right there in the United Kingdom because it is pozzed by turds anyway

This was turd on turd violence, so not as big of a deal. But a good reminder that between the tapeworms and the killer scamming fiances, India is inhospitable to civilized life
