Unsurprisingly, several health concerns appeared after ingesting tapeworms, such as headaches, diarrhea, bloating, weakness, abdominal pain, constipation, and vitamin deficiencies – and still, all of these weren’t the worse… Sometimes, tapeworms needed a “vacation,” heading to your brain, which, of course, could have had deadly results.
Bear in mind that you could end up with a “friendly” tapeworm inside of you without even realizing it. Consuming raw fish and meat, for instance, increases your chances of getting infected.

So if you experience constant abdominal pain, fatigue, weakness, weight loss, and nausea, call your doctor, especially if you’ve been to undeveloped countries recently.
