Tapeworms can also cause abdominal pain, constipation and diarrhea. Tapeworms can be spread in all areas of the human body. How tapeworms affect the body actually depends on how infested the body is with tapeworms. Cysticercosis is a sickness caused by ingesting the tapeworms found in pork. When tapeworm larvae spreads to the human brain, it is a very serious problem resulting in a condition referred to as neurocysticercosis. If a tapeworm infestation problem exists, there are medications sold over-the-counter for this problem.
Tapeworms do not have intestinal tracts: they absorb partially digested substances from their host through their skin. Adult tapeworms can live in the digestive tracts of a variety of hosts such as humans, pigs, cows, dogs, cats and fish. Most tapeworms have both male and female reproductive organs, and reproduce and fertilize their own eggs.
