Yes, and cooking: Cooking meat properly is the most important way to prevent tapeworm, but hygiene is important also - not washing hands after touching raw meat, for example is very important. Here's info on tapeworm: http://www.Ncbi.Nlm.Nih.Gov/pubmedhealth/pmh0002366/.

Tapeworm: Good hygiene per say will not prevent tapeworm. Hand washing i strongly recommend. Tapeworms are aquired by ingesting infected meat and fish products that are also undercooked
