How could you possibly become infected with adult tapeworms?

• A. Eating insufficiently cooked pork
• B. Being bitten by a mosquito
• C. Ingesting eggs in contaminated water
• D. Eating freshly peeled fruit

Answer 1

The correct option is A Eating insufficiently cooked pork

When an animal has a tapeworm infection, it has tapeworm larvae in its muscle tissue. If you eat raw or undercooked meat from an infected animal (pig), you ingest the larvae, which then develop into adult tapeworms in your intestines.

So, the correct option is, 'Eating insufficiently cooked pork'.
