Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This usually happens when they drink water or eat food with tapeworm eggs. Humans also can be exposed to eggs in dog feces. An egg hatches in the person’s intestines. The larva travels through the bloodstream and forms a cyst somewhere in the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -Tapeworms get into the body when someone eats or drinks something that’s infected with a worm or its eggs. Once inside the body, the tapeworm head attaches to the inner wall of the intestines and feeds off the food being digested.

Detailed explanation-3: -Some common parasites are Giardia duodenalis, Cryptosporidium parvum, Cyclospora cayetanensis, Toxoplasma gondii, Trichinella spiralis, Taenia saginata (beef tapeworm), and Taenia solium (pork tapeworm).

Detailed explanation-4: -Meat Is to Blame Tapeworms get into your body when you eat raw or undercooked meat. Beef tapeworms are rare in the U.S., but they can get into the food supply when people live close to cattle and conditions aren’t clean. You’re more likely to get tapeworms from undercooked pork in the U.S.
