Tape worm is a parasite which is associated with eating raw or undercooked meat, especially beef and pork. The worm lave grow in the intestines, depriving nutrition from the infected person. Usually there are no symptoms, and the worm can exit the body without any intervention. You may, however, feel lethargy and have abdominal bloating. Rarely, other organs (heart, lungs and brains) can be effected. Diagnosis is made after examination of a stool sample and your doctor can treat you with medicine to kill the worm.
