You are wrong

- raverbashing 14y agoYou were so quick to dismiss me you haven't even read the link you posted, so please read this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cysticercosis#Transmission https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cysticercosis#Transmission carefully "Humans are T. solium reservoirs. They are infected by eating undercooked pork that contains viable cysticerci." They are infected -> they get a worm by eating undercooked pork. Not cysticercosis Normal lifecycle: Pork eats tape worm eggs -> the pork gets cysticercosis -> Humans eat pork meat -> humans get tape worm -> worm releases eggs in human faeces -> back to step one Cysticercosis happens when the human plays the role of the pork
- rorrr 14y agoThe very first line of the link I sent says "Cysticercosis refers to tissue infection after exposure to eggs of Taenia solium, the pork tapeworm."
- raverbashing 14y agoCorrect Contaminated pork meat has no tapeworm eggs, it has cysticerci, which is the tapeworm larvae. Not eggs You're confusing things.
