A 30-year-old woman from New England, USA, was hospitalized after experiencing severe headaches and burning sensations in her limbs. She had recently returned from a trip to Hawaii, Japan, and Thailand, where she consumed raw fish. Doctors suspect she ingested parasitic larvae, possibly from snails or slugs that contaminated her food. The larvae caused inflammation in her brain, leading to her symptoms. After six days in the hospital, she was discharged and reported feeling better.
