For a 35-year-old French woman, a diagnosis of her tingling sensations in the legs was something quite unexpected. She had been having trouble walking, and also had issues when she tried to go horseback riding for about three months. The woman also reportedly fell down a few times, detailed USA Today. Worse yet, she was losing feeling in her legs and losing motor function in her feet.
The cause turned out to be a tapeworm in her spine.
At first when doctors at a hospital in Dijon took an X-ray of the woman’s spine, they couldn’t tell for certain what they were seeing. At the least, it appeared to be a “large round object” which was interfering with her central nervous system, hence the tingling and difficulty walking. Prior to the X-ray, doctors had determined that she had an infection of some sort by using a blood test, according to Gizmodo.
