Tapeworm
Cysticercosis
CDC - Cysticercosis Fact Sheet
How this will manifest in Ysandre:
She got the tapeworm (T. saginata) at the beginning of the month and has since been experiencing loss of appetite, nausea, and (after a few days) vomiting. This has caused her to autoinfect herself and will lead to Cysticercosis, or more specifically neurocysticercosis, which affects the brain and spinal cord. This will happen around the second week of the month. She will have continued loss of appetite/weight loss, headaches, difficulty with balance, and confusion, all increasing in severity over several days. Eventually, around the end of the third week of the month, she will have a seizure, at which point she will need to be under a doctor's care.
Her doctor will be Simon Tam. He will treat her for the disease, but it will ultmately go away at the conclusion of the plot.
