FACT:Human tapeworms can grow up to 22.9m

Ok, let us talk about human tapeworms now. Human tapeworms are actually really worms that crawl around in the inside of people who have them, and I find these tapeworms disgusting…..

Tapeworms are gotten from eating raw or inadequately cooked, infected pork, meat, or fish. They flat, segmented and shaped like ribbons. Tapeworms are the largest intestinal parasites and can grow to up to several feet in length. Tapeworm larvae can be found in undercooked meat or fish. From larvae, worms develop in the body and attach to the small intestine. It survives in humans by absorbing nutrients from ingested foods. Tapeworm infection is often symptomless.

So, we must be careful when eating our food, or else we may get a long disgusting creature crawling around in our body, and absorb OUR nutrients!
