A number of Lubavichers in Brooklyn were diagnosed with seizures not related to their religion; and were sent for a neurological service workup. The answer to, "Did you bump your head?", and so on, was negative. Finally, the CAT scan revealed round lesions up to nearly an inch across. The only possiblity for this type of neurocyticerisis was from eating infected pork or human sh*t. This is a two step infection, the pigs do not have the tapeworm, only the larvea. Humans can have both stages; but only humans have the tapeworm, that produces the eggs, which contaminate the feces.
The CDC inquired about toilet habits, since it was safe to assume that Orthodox J*ws don't eat pork.
It turned out that 94% of the Orthodox Brocklyn community hired immigrant housekeepers, generally from Mexico; in turn, 4% of Mexicans have the adult Taenia Solium
(pork tapeworm)in their intestine.
