Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
I understand your concern.
The worms that migrate through the body are called larva migrans. There's the cutaneous larva migrans which affects the subcutaneous tissue and the visceral larva migrans that move through different organs in the body.
You need to be investigated with Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and if positive have a MRI of the brain.
Talk to your doctor and have these tests done and once the disease is confirmed, it can be treated.
Take care,
