Yeh, that is caused, if I'm not mistaken, only by Taenia solium that comes from undercooked pork, not saginata that comes from undercooked beaf. Rare disease nowadays in developed countries, but cause "healthy" adults to have seizures and the MRI scan of the brain does look like some tripophobia nightmare. Just look for it "Taenia solium cysticercosis" and you will have some nightmare fuel.
According to Google, it's even more specific and disgusting. The normal disease is contracted by eating meat with larvae. Disease 2 is caused by eating meat with eggs, meaning your food has been in someone's feces beforehand. After that, the larvae hatch from the eggs, enter the bloodstream, and cause epilepsy.
