Are tapeworms damaging?
Answers: Yes, tapeworms hold all the fuel from the body and the sufferer loses weight. I saw a documentary nearly this and a volunteer (under medical supervision) deliberately infected themselves.
Medication be later administered to rid the parasite, but they have to physically expel every segment of the massive beast (anally)so as not to reinfect. Nasty stuff.
Apparently a major fifities Hollywood actress did this to lose weight but I don't take out who it was.
uh, DUH! you can die!!! don't use em; except if you wanna die.
