Here's a thought we might not have considered. What if Andy has a
Parasitic Brain Infection?
Neurocysticercosis is caused by pork tapeworm larvae. Of all the worms that cause brain infections, the pork tapeworm causes by far the most cases of brain infections in the Western Hemisphere.
After people eat food contaminated with the tapeworm's eggs, secretions in the stomach cause the eggs to hatch into larvae. The larvae enter the bloodstream and are distributed to all parts of the body, including the brain and spinal cord. The larvae form cysts (clusters of larvae enclosed in a protective wall). (The infection caused by cysts is called cysticercosis or, when the cysts form in the brain, neurocysticercosis.) These cysts cause few symptoms until the cysts degenerate and the larvae die, triggering inflammation, swelling, and symptoms such as headaches, seizures, personality changes, and mental impairment.
Sometimes the cysts block the flow of cerebrospinal fluid within the spaces of the brain (ventricles) putting pressure on the brain. This disorder is called hydrocephalus. The increased pressure can cause headaches, nausea, vomiting, and sleepiness.

Parasites in the brain can be caused by
consuming undercooked food or water contaminated with parasite eggs, or by
poor hygiene practices.
How it happens -
The parasite eggs hatch into larvae in the stomach after being consumed
The larvae enter the bloodstream and spread to the brain and other parts of the body
The larvae form cysts, which are clusters of larvae surrounded by a protective wall
The cysts can cause inflammation, swelling, and other symptoms
Symptoms -
headaches, seizures,
personality changes, mental impairment, nausea, vomiting, and sleepiness.
Prevention - Avoid eating undercooked or raw pork, Practice good hand hygiene, and Avoid jumping or diving into warm fresh water.
