*A [[ring of sustain abilities]] will protect you from the loss of intelligence. Stat death is a concern, but brain worms are so weak you should be able to kill them long before then. Even if you do wind up down a few points, time or a [[potion of restore abilities]] will restore the lost gray matter. Just be careful if you come across multiple brain worms at once.
