MatcomNews Update: Man Who Lept Out Of Car Had Brain Damage Due To Parasit

[matcom]

that's "Parasite"

<snip>

Phoenix's chief financial officer was the consummate professional, a strait-laced and quiet man who was a genius with numbers.

That's why the bizarre manner in which Kevin Keogh died Wednesday, apparently after climbing out the window and onto the top of his moving Mercedes-Benz on a crowded Scottsdale street, left many not only grieving but shaking their heads in disbelief.

Keogh's last moments were so completely uncharacteristic of his day-to-day persona that only an equally strange explanation seemed to bring some kind of sense to his death.

12. Thanks! Wonder how he got it? The cysts are supposed to be

easily seen in the muscle (meat) and of course cooking to a proper temperature kills them.

Pork sushi???

15. how to get cystercosis:

Eat fruit or vegetables contaminated with porcine feces, commonly via soil-splash from pigs roaming through produce fields.

Travel tip: avoid prepared salads (the greens are raw and may not have been washed). In areas where the drinking water itself is unsafe, avoid not only it, but ice-cubes also, as well as raw, unpeeled fruit and vegetables that may have been washed in the possibly-contaminated water.

14. When I'm going 60 on the freeway I sometimes want to open the car door

and see what it would be like to get sucked out of the car. I wonder if it's a parasite is making me have these thoughts?
