A tapeworm can be very harmful to you. If you are experiencing vomiting, abdominal pain, and diahreah (i'm not all that sure how to spell it.) then visit an emergency room IMMEDIATLY. It may not be tapeworms, but it could be something either more or less serious. A tapeworm lives in your intestines and lays over one million eggs each day! so make sure that you seek medical help as soon as you are feeling these symptoms!
