The only real way to get tapeworm from a dog is by eating an infected flea. Your child is more likely to get them than you, unless of course, you are sleeping in a bed with a flea-ridden dog. Also, there are only a limited number of tapeworm species that can be transferred between canines and humans, so the chances of you getting one from the infected dog are very slim.
Um.... I've heard you can get them from licking your face or mouth. I can only imagine this is true as sometimes when diagnosing tapeworms in humans, a saliva test is taken.

What do dog tapeworms do when they attach to to small intestine of a dog?
When dog tapeworms attach to the small intestine of a dog, they use their specialized hooks and suckers to firmly adhere to the intestinal wall. Once attached, they absorb nutrients from the dog's digested food, which can lead to malnutrition and various gastrointestinal issues. The tapeworms also reproduce, releasing segments filled with eggs, which can be expelled in the dog's feces, potentially infecting other animals or humans. This parasitic relationship can result in health problems for the infected dog if left untreated.
Why are tapeworms in your dogs feces Is it a good thing or not By the time you notice the tapeworms in feces is it that they are being expelled and going away Or due to infestation?
Tapeworms are usually caused by fleas. Fleas carry tapeworm eggs. If the dog is chewing on himself, he is ingesting the fleas, which introduce the tapeworms into his digestive system. You will need a worm medicine specific to tapeworms. Most general dog wormers are not effective. It would be best to take him to the vet. You will also need to treat the fleas.
