It was a Pig Tapeworm!! AGGHHHHHHH!!!!

From Inquisitr:

According to the Daily Mail, doctors found the egg from a pig tapeworm lodged in his brain. Given that Whalley is a vegetarian, he found this discovery to be more than a little alarming.

Pedestrian TV explains that Whalley may have contracted the tapeworm during his time in South America. The lead singer said he may have gotten the parasite from a vegetarian burrito that was fixed by a cook with dirty hands.

The tapeworm remained lodged in his brain for around four years. The seizures began when the parasite died and caused his body to react. In order to correct the situation, Jay Whalley required emergency brain surgery and hospitalization.

Thankfully, he'll survive and make a full recovery.
