Has it ever occured to you that the pork,beef steak(suya),fish barbeque etc we readily purchase from roadside eatries or buka,not forgetting those hawked in traffic,might just have a teeny meeny tapeworm that probably survived hasty cooking? Crazy hunh?
Tapeworm infection is caused by ingesting food(most especially poorly cooked meat) or water contaminated with tapeworm eggs or larvae (found on the soil,that can be arbitrarily picked up by animal hosts,survives through series of lifecycles before it is inadvertently transmitted to the human hosts).They don’t always cause symptoms, but when they do they are often mistaken for another illness.
The intestinal parasites can be exceptionally harmful because they can thrive for a very long time and a person might not even be aware that they have been contaminated.
Tapeworms are a standout among the most widely recognized parasites that outcome in 100 million cases yearly. Tapeworm disease manifestations may not be exceptionally detectable, but rather they take supplements from their human host.
Due to the fact that intestinal parasites can thrive for a long period of time without the human understanding that they are contaminated, they can be extremely hazardous for our organism.
In the event that tapeworm hatchlings go through the circulation system and wind up in muscles, they cause risky sores. You may have tapeworms on the off chance that you have these manifestations, yet they are effectively treated with characteristic drugs.

Common symptoms of tapeworm infection
Most symptoms of a tapeworm infection are associated with digestion. You may notice that you often feel nausea or your stomach feels queasy.

> Inexplicable Exhaustion
People who are infected with this parasite, feel constant exhaustion and weakness. Their muscles get easily tired during exercise.
They also feel constant hunger, even though they lose weight.

> Weight Loss
One of the most prominent signs of a tapeworm infestation is a significant weight loss. This symptom generally occurs when the host or person infected is eating normally and has no other underlying medical condition. The weight loss can be rapid, in some cases losing up to two to three pounds per week. This can lead to weakness and an overall feeling of malaise or discomfort.

> Abdominal Discomfort
Having some abdominal discomfort is common in people who have a tapeworm infestation. The discomfort can range from a mild fullness to severe cramping and pain. As the tapeworm grows larger over a period of a few months, the discomfort gradually worsens. The abdominal discomfort may get worse 30 minutes to an hour after a meal is consumed—this is when the tapeworm begins feeding.

> Fecal Changes
A very prominent sign of being infested with tapeworms is seeing a change in the fecal matter or stool when using the toilet. As the tapeworm grows, small segments of the proglottids or tail of the tapeworm often tend to break off into the intestine. They are pushed through the intestines and passed out with a bowel movement. In cases where the tapeworm is quite large, it is possible that large parts of the proglottids or several-foot-long segments are pushed through the bowels during defecation.

> Fever
A sign that the tapeworm has gotten bigger and possibly begun to infect the digestive tract or surrounding areas could be the presence of a fever. The fever signifies that there is an underlying infection somewhere in the body. If the tapeworm is not killed or destroyed, it can grow out of control and begin to invade nearby organs and tissue. If this occurs, cysts can occur and often times burst, causing widespread infection. In some cases, the lumps can appear under the skin or appear tender to the touch. Any type of fever over 101 degrees Fahrenheit (approx' degree 38.3 celsius) should be evaluated by a medical professional immediately for proper treatment.

>Bacterial Infection
If tapeworm begins to spread, it is possible that it could lead to a bacterial infection within the body. The bacterial infection brings about more widespread symptoms such as diarrhea, body chills and isolated pain in the stomach or areas that are infected. There may also be a foul smell in the fecal matter if the infection is widespread throughout the digestive system and the bowels. In severe cases, tapeworm can cause an infection called cysticercosis. Cysticercosis is where cysts develop in various areas of the body from the embryo of the tapeworm. This condition can develop into neurocysticercosis where the worms can infect the central nervous system, causing brain disorders such as seizures and eventually death if left untreated.
