I knew that before I read it.

However, it bugged me that with all the testing that was going on, everybody at Symbogen, Dr. Cale, probably Sally's family, and all the other parasite driven people must have known that her brain was one big tapeworm. I suppose one can argue that she's just an unreliable narrator, but from very early in the book, I couldn't help thinking that her new personality was a tapeworm, and how could Symbogen be able to keep it a secret from her and her family for so long?
