🩸 :
🩸 = a random diagnosis. Neurocysticercosis for you, my friend! This one is a parasite. Basically if you eat pork with larvae (or consume contaminated water etc etc), they will attach to your intestinal wall, and grow into a tapeworm. In some rare cases, like yours hypothetically, this tapeworm will attack your nervous system, and your brain. Usually this causes things like seizures, intracranial hypertension, cognitive impairment, etc. It also makes for very disturbing MRIs showing brains full of holes! This is a big problem in less developed countries, so there's actually a lot of treatment and you might make it through it, depending on where the tapeworm is and how long it has been there. Thank you for your ask
