Do not eat any food that is processed or handled by illegal's. This is going to become an epidemic.

Jeff - The abstract below discusses old data, i.e. from 1977 to the 1980s. Notice that the Cycticercosis cases are in Los Angeles and mostly in hispanic community from Mexico. Maybe the case nubers are going up now because we have better technology to identify the worm but I suspect that case number rise is indicative of the exploding illegal Mexican population pouring into the US.

Often in underdeveloped countries people contract the infection from eating undercooked pork. People also contract tapeworm due to poor hygene. People infected with the worm have larva in their intestines and can pass the infection via the fecal route. Infected people who do not properly wash their hands can easily pass on the infection to others on surfaces, by handling fast food, restaurant food, etc.

So, here again, frequent and proper handwashing can prevent the spread of this worm. So many illegals work in various parts of our food chain, and if they are infected and don't wash their hands they can pass the worm on to others. As we discussed on the program, how many sanitizing stations and wash basins can one find out in the fields on large corporate farms?

Richards FO Jr, Schantz PM, Ruiz-Tiben E, Sorvillo FJ.
Four hundred ninety-seven patients were identified as having been treated for cysticercosis at four hospitals in Los Angeles during the 11-year period 1973 through 1983. Eleven deaths were recorded. Over 90% of these patients were Hispanics in productive age groups; the majority were Mexican by nationality. Hospitalizations were generally short, and readmissions for recurrence of symptoms or complications of therapy occurred in only 14% of patients. Cysticercosis was diagnosed in 12 US citizens who had no history of travel to countries considered traditionally endemic for Taenia solium taeniasis/cysticercosis. A dramatic rise in numbers of cases was observed after 1977, appearing to plateau at approximately 80 cases per year in 1981. The increase in cases beginning in 1977 coincided with the introduction of the computed tomographic scan.

We need to carry signs and protest all food service companies who are hiring illegals. The signs should read:

Warning: Brainworms -Cysticercosis ... If a company hires illegals for cheap labor, the company doesn't care about you or your health.

Hiring illegal invaders is hazerdous to your health. It can even kill you.

I stopped eating pork a long time ago. Pigs act just like dogs - which is my motivation. People have plenty of other protein choices, so choose something else!
