A member asked:
I was diagnosed for tapeworm a couple years ago but i never did get the medicine to cure it..could it be possible that i still have it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: A tapeworm in the human intestine can be an unwanted house-guest for many, many years. One can talk with his primary care doctor about treatment and/or retesting the stool. Also, be sure to cook foods adequately in order to kill tapeworm cysts in meats and fish.
