People can interact with tapeworms primarily through the ingestion of undercooked or contaminated food, particularly raw or poorly cooked meat and fish that contain tapeworm larvae. Once ingested, the larvae attach to the intestinal wall and can lead to infection, often resulting in symptoms like abdominal pain, weight loss, and digestive issues. In some cases, individuals may unknowingly pass tapeworm segments in their stool. Treatment typically involves medication that effectively eliminates the parasite.
