Epilepsy – Symptoms & Causes

Cysticercosis

Cysticercosis is one of the most common causes of epilepsy. This is an infection that can be passed along in the eggs of some intestinal tapeworms. Cysticercosis is more common in developing countries rather than in developed nations. The most effective way to prevent it is to cook foods, especially meat, thoroughly before eating or consuming. Also, it is important to wash your hands carefully before touching and eating foods. [12]
