Yes but only by either eating a live tape worm or by getting the eggs of a tape worm in mouth nose ear eye or any other opening that enters the Body.

You must see a medical Dr for parasitical treatment to get rid of any type of parasite worms.

Yes, through stool and unwashed vegetables. They are contagious through stool because the larva goes into the stool. They are contagious through unwashed vegetables because the hookworms travel through soil and they can go onto vegetables.
