What happens to a fifteen year old when she eats a tapeworm?
The tapeworm is a parasitic bowel dweller that, unlike its benign cousin, seeks to feed on the inside of a living host. Tapeworms are usually found in beef or pork. When people eat the undercooked meat of an infected animal, a tapeworm can pass to the human being ingesting the meat. Typically, it's tapeworm larva that infects meat. Once it's inside its human host, it begins to grow. A tapeworm begins its journey as an egg existing within the intestinal tract of a living host. It then finds a new host when ingested by an animal through tainted vegetation. Ultimately, it finds a human host when a person eats undercooked and tapeworm-infected meat. While the inside of the human body has many organisms and bacteria living in it, a tapeworm might be one of the most ruthless invading parasites. If you ingest certain tapeworm eggs, they can migrate outside your intestines and form larval cysts in body tissues and organs (invasive infection). If you ingest tapeworm larvae, however, they develop into adult tapeworms in your intestines (intestinal infection). Beef or pork tapeworms can live for years and grow up to 12 feet long. Poor hygiene can also cause tapeworm infection. Once a person consumes a tapeworm, the parasite can move freely around the host's insides. This includes moving to the host's brain. In 2013, doctors in the UK examined a man who they discovered had a tapeworm living in his brain. The discovery came on the heels of a prior finding; namely, something was moving in the man's brain, and typically nothing moves inside the brain. When tapeworm larvae attach themselves to an organ, (or even inside an organ), as the tapeworm grows it could cause acute stress to the organ. The patient experienced extreme symptoms like headaches, seizures, and weakness in his legs as the tapeworm pushed to new parts of his brain. This is a rare occurrence, so it's not yet profitable for companies to develop medications to treat such a specific case. As a result, doctors had to remove the tapeworm from the man's brain surgically. Some of the most common symptoms of tapeworm infection can be the easiest to miss because they mimic the symptoms of other illnesses. One of the first signs of tapeworm infection is having abdominal pain in the upper abdominal area. Next, a person might experience vomiting and intestinal blockage, followed by diarrhea and dehydration, which can lead to severe health consequences. And finally, while other symptoms exist, another universal sign will be weight loss due to caloric and nutritional deficiencies.
