The most dangerous type of tapeworm is the pork tapeworm, Taenia solium. This tapeworm can cause serious health issues, including cysticercosis, when larvae infect tissues, leading to neurological problems. In contrast, the beef tapeworm (Taenia saginata) is generally less harmful, primarily causing gastrointestinal symptoms. Therefore, the pork tapeworm poses a greater risk to human health.

What are the causes of tapeworm diseases?

You can catch tapeworms by eating pork, beef, or fish that is not cooked properly. This is one of the primary reasons for cooking food thoroughly. A single tapeworm produces enough eggs to infect every single person in the world. Is there a NONSENSICAL STATEMENTS ABOUT TAPEWORMS web site you people are going to? You are confused and are thinking of Trichanella a nematode not a cestode.
