Where do most people get the tapeworm from?
A. We get it from beef. I recently went to dinner with some friends and I told them about the dangers of eating rare beef. I told them about the tapeworm problem, but they ordered rare beef anyway. They said they couldn’t eat it any other way. Q. Didn’t they believe you? A. They didn’t believe that good meat has tapeworms in it. What they didn’t understand is that just one little spore in the meat can hatch in your stomach and grow a tapeworm. It can be deadly. It’s the price people have to pay for eating their steaks rare, or medium rare. Q. Tell me more. A. I once had a woman with a large tapeworm. I could feel it by placing my hand on her stomach. If I disturbed it by rubbing her stomach, I could feel it unwind, stretch out and start moving through the intestine and curl up in another place. It was huge! Enormous! And she was a little person – only 115 pounds. Worms can cause blockage in your colon. Q. How do worms cause health problem? A.. You already know that they eat your nutrie
