What is a tapeworm if a tapeworm lives off the nutrients in an animals digestive tract?
A tapeworm is a parasitic flatworm that resides in the intestines of its host, usually animals, including humans. It absorbs nutrients directly from the host's digestive tract through its skin, as it lacks a digestive system of its own. Tapeworms can grow to significant lengths and reproduce rapidly, often leading to infections that can cause various health issues in their hosts. Their presence typically indicates a compromised state of the host's health and can affect nutrient absorption.
What are the health risks to going on a tapeworm diet?
Tapeworms can severely effect the digestive system. Even if the host is de-wormed, it may not kill the adult tapeworm. It can also cause intestinal blockage if the parasite is allowed to live and thrive too long.
Why digestive system is important?
The digestive system is important because it breaks down the food in you belly
