Test your knowledge on RFK Jr.'s brain symptoms caused by a parasite.

par Kristine Vester

What was one of the brain symptoms RFK Jr. experienced due to the parasite?

Mental fogginess and memory loss

Severe chronic headaches

Constant seizures

What is the name of the disease caused by tapeworm larvae in the brain?

Neurocysticercosis

Taeniasis

Bilharzia

How does neurocysticercosis affect cognition?

It can lead to confusion and lack of attention.

It causes immediate and irreversible brain damage.

It solely affects memory retention.

Why is neurocysticercosis the leading preventable cause of epilepsy worldwide?

It often leads to seizures when larvae are in the central nervous system.

It spreads quickly and causes instant brain inflammation.

It affects blood flow to the brain.

What happens if excess fluid builds up in the brain due to neurocysticercosis?

It becomes a very dangerous condition and can be fatal in rare cases.

It results in muscle paralysis.

It eliminates other symptoms like headaches and seizures.

In which parts of the body can tapeworm larvae cause harm?

Brain, muscles, and eyes

Liver, stomach, and kidneys

Lungs, intestines, and skin

How does neurocysticercosis impair balance?

By affecting specific parts of the central nervous system.

By reducing muscle strength.

By altering blood pressure regulation.

What is a common neurological manifestation of neurocysticercosis?

Seizures

Paralysis

Chronic insomnia

How does neurocysticercosis affect quality of life?

It makes daily activities and employment difficult due to seizures or cognitive impairment.

It temporarily reduces physical activity without long-term consequences.

It mainly causes cosmetic issues without severe internal effects.

Why does the U.S. report fewer cases of neurocysticercosis?

Higher food safety standards and better sanitation practices

Genetic resistance to parasitic worms in the population

Lack of tapeworms in the environment

How is neurocysticercosis typically treated?

With antiparasitic drugs like praziquantel and albendazole

By solely addressing inflammation with steroids

Through immune system enhancement therapies

What is the global significance of neurocysticercosis?

It is a preventable condition but remains a leading cause of epilepsy in developing regions.

It primarily affects isolated rural communities without global relevance.

It has been eradicated in most parts of the world.

How does bilharzia impact cognitive function?

By causing fatigue, poor memory, and reduced academic performance

By leading to blindness and motor dysfunction

By impairing only physical activity

Why is sanitation critical in areas where cysticercosis is prevalent?

It prevents contact with infected pig fecal matter.

It eliminates larvae in the water supply.

It removes parasites from the skin.

What innovation does the article suggest for combating parasitic diseases?

Developing vaccines against parasitic worms

Restricting international travel

Introducing high-dose antiparasitic drugs

How does early treatment of bilharzia improve academic performance in children?

By alleviating fatigue and enhancing cognition

By strengthening eyesight and physical health

By reducing infections unrelated to cognition

What factors contribute to the spread of neurocysticercosis in endemic regions?

Poor hygiene and undercooked pork consumption

Frequent migration of tapeworm-carrying birds

High salt content in local water supplies

What role do international pharmaceutical companies play in addressing parasitic diseases?

Donating drugs for preventive chemotherapy

Restricting drug availability to high-income regions

Providing education about parasitic worms

How does untreated neurocysticercosis lead to cognitive decline?

By causing inflammation and damaging neural pathways

By directly depleting nutrients in the brain

By limiting oxygen flow to the brain

What is a primary global challenge in combating parasitic diseases?

Increasing access to treatments and developing innovative interventions

Addressing resistance to existing antiparasitic drugs

Eliminating all animal hosts for parasites
