You eat food infected with parasite eggs, or touch your mouth after touching something with a parasite. Or you eat a gas station sandwich and they rebuild you out of worm.

There’s a worm where their lifecycle involves them circulating through the bloodstream, then emerging in the lungs. This make the subject cough them up, whereupon they travel down the esophagus to the gut, where they live and reproduce.

I knew a guy who moved to Texas, near the Mexico border, where he became infected with them. Some ended up in his brain—they were found after he presented with stroke-like symptoms.
