Likely explains his long history of pushing conspiracy theories, and makes him utterly unsuited to be President

There are your options, America: two very old white men and an slightly less old white man whose brain was partly eaten by a worm. Of all the hundreds of millions of Americans, these three.
Ah so, it is revealed in the article that while he believes his brain was eaten by a worm, he came to that conclusion while mercury-poisoned (unrelated) and it is most likely not accurate. The brain surrounded the worm with tissue to try and isolate it and the result is similar to having a brain tumor (as I read it, sry if summary is somewhat inaccurate)
WTF?? He was mercury poisoned and had a brain worm? Was he doing some kind of 1800s-era science experiments at home?
Apparently just eating an enormous amount of tuna + picked up the worm larva from some undercooked pork!
One could even say… too much tuna?
How does a worm go from your stomach, into your brain? That doesn’t make sense.
They bite through the lining of the stomach and circulate with blood looking for tissue to develop inside of. They usually do this in pigs, but it sometimes happens in humans
Terrifying! What the fuck, nature?
It’s called neurocysticercosis. Here’s some info from the CDC.

Well yeah, the other hundreds of millions haven’t spent a lifetime climbing into bed with the corporations that run the country.
