What will the tapeworms look like in your poop and will it be dead?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tapeworm: Tapeworms look like long, flat, white things with segments (see picture). People don't usually pass an entire worm, but pieces of the worm. Therefore, they're not usually moving and don't appear to be alive.
