How can humans catch tapeworms and how can humans tell if they have tapeworms?
It is possible to "catch" a tapeworm by ingesting the eggs. If you eat food or drink water contaminated with feces from a person or animal with tapeworm, you are ingesting microscopic tapeworm eggs. For example, a pig infected with tapeworm will pass tapeworm eggs in its feces, which gets into the soil. If this same soil comes in contact with a food or water source, it becomes contaminated. You can then be infected when you eat or drink something from the contaminated source. Once inside your intestine, the eggs develop into larvae. At this stage, the larvae become mobile. If they migrate out of your intestines, they form cysts in other tissues such as your lungs or liver. Invasive tapeworm infection is more common with pork tapeworm than with the other kinds. Contact with infected fecal matter is not the only way to get a tape worm though.You can ingest larvae cysts in meat or muscle tissue as well. When an animal has a tapeworm infection, it has tapeworm larvae in its muscle tissue. If you eat raw or undercooked meat from an infected animal, you ingest the larvae, which then develop into adult tapeworms in your intestines.Adult tapeworms can measure up to 50 feet long and can survive as long as 20 years in a host. Some tapeworms attach themselves to the walls of the intestine, where they cause irritation or mild inflammation, while others may pass through to your stool and exit your body.Typically, you'll have most of the following symptoms;NauseaWeaknessLoss of appetiteAbdominal painDiarrheaWeight loss and inadequate absorption of nutrients from food

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.

What are the clinical features of Taeniasis?
Taeniasis is an infection caused by tapeworms, primarily Taenia saginata (beef tapeworm) and Taenia solium (pork tapeworm). Clinical features often include mild gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, and changes in appetite. In some cases, individuals may experience weight loss or nutritional deficiencies due to malabsorption. However, many infected individuals remain asymptomatic and may be unaware of their condition.
Why did Mitch not get infected in contagion?
In the movie "Contagion," Mitch did get infected but his symptoms were fairly mild and he recovered. This could be due to a combination of factors such as his overall health, immunity, and maybe even some luck.
