can humans get tapeworms from cats and dogs and if so how?

Question:

Answers:
Yes and no. The tapeworms of dogs and cats cannot infect humans and become adult tapeworms in them. HOWEVER, it is well known that the dog tapeworm echinococcus can infect humans, grow to a larval form and cause awful disease.

In this sort of infection, the infected dog passes echinococcus eggs in his poop. That poop very mysteriously ends up in your food. You eat dog poop with tapeworm eggs in it.

Excuse me, I just had to throw up after I typed that. Anyway, the echinococcus larvae hatch in your intestine and they WRIGGLE THEIR PARASITIC WAY STRAIGHT OUT OF IT INTO YOUR OTHER ORGANS, LIKE LITTLE ALIENS, into your lungs.liver.spleen..brains. In those places they realize they arent going anywhere and they form cysts, called hydatid cysts. But those larvae cant become adult tapeworms in humans, they just cant. Unless you die of hydatid disease and a dog or coyote eats you. You could make a movie about that.

Are you sick yet? I sure am. Please dont eat dog poop.
