Fourteen days later she started struggling with severe headache that would not go away. She'd wake up with severe headache at night. She went to a private doctor who gave her drugs for the relief of mild to moderate pain of inflammatory origin with or without fever; they'd only work for a few hours and then the headache will be back worse than even before.
Continue..Desperate, she went to visit a specialist who did blood tests and a brain scan. All the tests were negative but the headache persisted, making her unable to concentrate at the office and sleeping very poorly. She went back to her doctor who made a decision to examine her scalp and under the beautiful weave he found worms!
The worms were burrowing into her skull and after sending the samples to the lab they unearthed that the hair had eggs from which the worms had Irene had to shave after this ordeal and took antibiotics for 2 weeks. Elsewhere, 16-year-old girl from Buruburu, a Nairobi surburb, also suffered the same fate but unfortunately for her she died. Cobweb eggs were within her hair after she died.
There was a profound cobweb design in her weaved hair. She dropped dead after constant headaches.
The main cause? The weave had unnoticed spider eggs. The warmth produced after weaving provided an extremely conducive environment for the eggs to hatch. A spider grew in her scalp and bit her. The poison found its way to her blood. She couldn't survive the attack.
