Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. found himself facing an unexpected medical twist as he prepared for brain surgery to address a tumor. Doctors from a separate hospital suggested that the abnormalities in his brain scans might not be tumor-related, but instead, caused by a parasitic worm.
In a 2012 legal statement related to divorce proceedings, Mr. Kennedy disclosed that a doctor at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital had informed him of a dead parasite lodged in his brain. His visit to neurologists stemmed from struggles with memory loss and cognitive fog.
according to rfk jr, he has a spot on his brain, "'caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died.' He had initially consulted with neurologists after suffering memory loss and mental fogginess." https://t.co/bC5yvU3UxN

According to The New York Times, Mr. Kennedy recounted in the legal statement that the doctor believed the dark spot in his brain was attributable to a worm that had infiltrated and partially consumed brain tissue before perishing.
Remarkably, Mr. Kennedy claimed to have recovered from the memory lapses and cognitive fog without treatment for the parasite, experiencing no lingering effects.
When questioned about the potential impact of his health issues on a potential presidency, Kennedy's campaign spokeswoman Stefanie Spear downplayed concerns, quipping, “That is a funny suggestion, given the competition.”
As for the origin of the parasite, Mr. Kennedy admitted uncertainty, speculating it could have occurred during a trip to South Asia. However, he remains unsure of the parasite's specific type or how and where he contracted it.
The revelation adds a unique twist to Mr. Kennedy's campaign narrative, highlighting his resilience in the face of unexpected health challenges and raising questions about the potential intersection of personal health and political ambition.
