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.
Humans are the only hosts for these Taenia tapeworms. Humans pass the tapeworm segments and/or eggs in feces and contaminate the soil in areas where sanitation is poor. Taenia eggs can survive in a moist environment and remain infective for days to months.Cows and pigs become infected after feeding in areas that are contaminated with Taenia eggs from human feces.atients with T. saginata taeniasis often experience more symptoms that those with T. solium because the T. saginata tapeworm is larger in size (up to 10 meters (m)) than T. solium (usually 3 m). Tapeworms can cause digestive problems including abdominal pain, loss of appetite, weight loss, and upset stomach.
