∙ 11y agoThe tapeworm can become lethal if it spreads to the lungs or the brain. When in the brain it can cause seizures. If the tapeworm lines the intestines it can cause bacterial infections and cysts that form throughout the body. Symptoms may not appear for quite some time if at all though. So make sure if you have a cat or dog to get them checked every 3-6 months.
