Humans and tapeworm?

Question:

If you are infected with tapeworm, does the actual long worm come out of you butt after your treated with medicine, And how do you know if you have them. I'm not sure if I have any symptoms. My stumach grumbles a little bit ocasionally when Im not hungry but it is not loud enough for anyone to hear, If I had tapeworm would there be worms comeing out of my but or would there be worms moving in my stool? But I want to know if the medicine makes the tapeworm come out of your butt as like a whole. Im so afraid I have them and I don't want to take medicine and then have to see one long worm come out of my butt, help! My cat had them but I know something is wrong with me and ill probibly see a doctor soon. I need you to answer questions in the mean time.. thanks

I'm not sure if you're kidding, or not. But I'm bored so here's a link:

In North America the beef tapeworm (taenia saginata) is most common, although it is relatively well controlled. In Latin America the pork tapeworm (taenia solium) infects millions. The fish tapeworm (diphyllobothrium latum) and pork tapeworm are common in Asia.

If you have a tapeworm in your stomach or gut, odds are you won't even know it. If you do experience signs, they'll barely be noticeable and will more than likely be misdiagnosed and attributed to stress, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), upset stomach or some other common ailment. In fact, the only time people seem to realize they have a tapeworm is, after defecation, upon noticing the headless worm bodies in their stool.

There are naturopathic and western medical options for removing tapeworms from your gut and intestines. A combination of various herbs formulated in a reputable colon cleansing program is often successful. A colon cleansing has the added benefit of reducing bouts of constipation, lowering the risk of developing diverticulosis, increasing energy levels, and potentially instigating weight loss.

Conventional drug options are quinacrine hydrochloride (Atabrine) or niclosamide. A tapeworm embryo will require two separate drugs: praziquantel and albendazole. Beware of the many potential side effects that come with prescription drugs and the lack of additional health benefits.

Unless you have injested cow poo you don't have worms. If you do however the will be dead when you pass them (out your butt as you said). They look almost like a piece of yarn (same size) and can be up to 12 inches long. The grumbling you heard, could it be gas?

Yes if you take the medicine they do come out of the butt as a whole but dead..
to find out if you have them just go see a doctor.
If you do and they give you medicine just don't look at your stool for a while.

i don't think you have them. =D
