What are tapeworms?

Tapeworms are long and flat segmented worms that live most of their life inside the intestines and gastrointestinal tract of its living host. It has no digestive system of its own and actually absorbs nutrients through its own skin. Tapeworms have grooves and suckers on its head that helps it attach to the lining of the intestines, and each segment of its body can contain eggs and reproductive function. As the tapeworm grows, the tail end packets will often break off and release more eggs and are passed into the feces.

Fleas and lice often ingest these tapeworm eggs and are a frequent carrier.

 

All of these complications can be avoided or minimized with simple preventative steps.  Prevention is the key to controlling and avoiding the health problems associated with these highly contagious and common parasites.
