“Shocking Footage: Woman’s Unbelievable Encounter with a Live Tapeworm Leaves Viewers Speechless!”
“There are three main types of tapeworm: T. saginata, the largest at 32 feet, and T. solium and T. asiatica, both measuring at around 9 feet,” the physician explained.
“T. saginata is the easiest to detect, as it causes the most symptoms. The other two are usually discovered when tapeworm segments are noticed in the bathroom.”
According to experts, people should consider taking deworming pills at least once every six months

The doctors took the chance to emphasize the importance of taking deworming pills regularly, especially for people living or working in areas with lower hygiene standards.

“It’s recommended that people take deworming pills at least twice a year, especially because most tapeworm infections come with no detectable symptoms,” Dr. Ros said, explaining that people with weakened immune systems are particularly at risk.
Dr. Fugura, on the other hand, urged viewers to protect themselves by thoroughly cooking pork and washing their hands with soap and water after handling raw meat.
Netizens expressed horror and disgust at the video, as well as the trend mentioned by Dr. Fugura of people voluntarily ingesting worm eggs to lose weight.
One user called the parasite the “forbidden Ozempic,” while others joked about “needing a tapeworm to lose weight.”
“It’s better to over cook than under cook,” one user shared. “My mom made sure I even scrubbed inside and outside of pots and pans and never undercooked meat, especially pork.”
