How humans can get tape worms is when they eat raw pork because the pork is not cooked right and when someone eats it raw even a little raw the parasites in the pork gets in your stomach and eats your food even if you eat alot you won't gain weight and that's not good because tape worms can kill you and they won't die until you have an operation to get them removed but there is a chance that the doctors can't get them all out and so that's how and why humans get tape worms.

The most common tapeworm, the Dipylidium Caninum, can only get on dogs due to fleas. If the dog has fleas that have tapeworm larvae, then that is where the entire cycle begins. Accidentally, the dog may eat the flea (when it is grooming itself) and the flea's body will be destroyed by the acid in the dog's stomach. Although the flea has been digested, the tapeworm larvae remains intact and travels through the small intestine of the dog. There, it attaches to the wall and eats nutrients passing through, that allow it to grow. Tapeworms have a head, neck, and tail segments. When they grow, they grow more tail segments from the neck, meaning that the tail segments at the tip of the tapeworm are older than the rest. These tail segments have eggs inside and soon the tail segments break off and travel down the small intestine until they come out of the dog's bottom and onto the dog's fur. Fleas eat the tapeworm eggs and the tapeworm eggs hatch in the fleas and grow. Then, the cycle starts again when the dog eats the flea.

Therefore, the most common type of tapeworm get to be on dog's because of fleas, who transmit them and aid them in their life cycle.
tape worms can come from a number of places the most common is if your dog eats a flea or a beatle or certain kinds of bugs. that's one reason flea and tick prevention is so important as well as heartworm prevention which now comes with a dewormer added to the pill.
