#OMG: Living worm removed from Australian woman's brain in first known case

Australian doctors have surgically removed a living, wriggling roundworm from a 64-year-old woman's brain. The worm, scientifically known as Ophidascaris robertsi, is usually found in kangaroos and carpet pythons, but for the first time, has been found in a human body. After treatment, the afflicted woman was allowed to rest at home, but remained under constant monitoring by the doctor.
