As with most tapeworm infections, the drugs of choice are niclosamide or praziquantel. The best way to prevent human infection is to treat infected animals and to kill fleas. Although, D. Caninum is usually transferred via a flea, Trichodectes canis, the chewing louse of dogs, can also be the intermediate host for the tapeworm. FAQs
AVOID EATING THESE THINGS: Hard foods-Anything that is hard cannot be chewed with braces on. Remember, braces are fragile, and strong forces from hard foods will break them off. Damaged appliances will extend treatment time. Extended treatment time will increase the risk of cavities and stains on your teeth.ut use your common sense. Don't eat anything that might get stuck to the braces-like gum or taffy. Really thinking back, I think the only think I was prohibited from eating/chewing was gum and even that I used to chew the gum that was safe for denture wearers-it didn't stick as much.
