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 come into the body via contaminated food. Many organisms live on and in the human body. A tapeworm can easily survive and thrive indefinitely inside us. A tapeworm in a human can range in length from 1/250 of an inch (.0063 cm) to an incredible 50 feet (15.23 meters)! Tapeworms have no digestive tract so they must eat food already digested by another animal.
