Flatworms are typically asymptomatic. This can prevent the tapeworm ever being detected until it eventually dies and is passed out of the body through the stool. Occasionally human hosts experience nausea or abdominal cramps when infected with flatworms. A roundworm infection can cause more serious symptoms such as headaches and severe pain, depending on the worm's location within the body. In severe cases, roundworms have been known to cause blindness or paralysis.

Are the chemicals that they use on animals also harmful to humans?

It is hard to understand what you are asking, but no not necessarily. Animals' bodies and humans' bodies are different, even in animals that are similar to people, like chimpanzees and pigs, and humans who are like animals (!)*. Of course, some chemicals tht are harmful to animals are harmful to people as well, but this may will be a coincidence. Chimpanzees are immune to malaria and HIV. *Please excuse my terrible sense of humour!
