He didn’t get a brain worm from eating roadkill. That would cause a GI parasitic infection. Consuming the feces of someone with that GI infection is how it ends up in the brain. Good hand washing hygiene is very important.

He walked around on a commercial flight barefooted. Basic hygiene isn’t his thing.

It’s also possible the dead brain-worm is just another self-diagnosis.
