== == Although this symptom is listed in the medical books, I've never seen this happen in all the years I've been a vet, but I have seen seizures from roundworm infestation. Signs and symptoms of tapeworm infestation (in both animals and humans) include: Diarrhea, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, anal itching, colic, ascites, headaches and weight loss are common symptoms of having tapeworms. With severe infections hives, fever and convulsions can also occur. Sometimes they embed in the tissues causing intestinal nodules or cysts in the skin, lung or liver. An animal or human with a tapeworm may also have a craving for salt. The tapeworms also compete with the organism for Vitamin B 12, so slight anemia can occur. Seen under a microscope, the red blood cells are immature looking and darker in color than mature red blood cells. It depends on the quantity and location of the worms. Seizures are rare but may happen
