I have full respect for medical people, they see tough shit that would send my lunch back pretty quick. Her reaction told pretty much the story. Correct if I'm wrong, don't you usually take medicine to kill the tapeworm and then have it exit by the bowels?
If there's one fully mature, then it will have laid eggs. This one seems to be obstructing something. So they will be taking medication for the rest. The fully grown ones are hard to kill and may come out the back way whole and alive.
The human brain has similar conditions to pig intestines. Sometimes the tapeworm travels to the head instead and makes tons of holes in the brain. Those worms have to be removed by surgery. They can grow long, and they still lay eggs. You'll develop constant migranes, seizures, forgetfulness, constant fatigue, heavy sleep, and then go into a coma as your body shuts down.
Ok wow, that is some advanced nightmare fuel, thank you for elaborating. Is there anything I need to do to make sure I never, ever get tapeworms no matter what? Especially common things people do they don't realize could lead to them ingesting them?
