Question

NCan our digestive system absorb the egg of a tapeworm? And can tapeworm spread to any other body parts via its eggs other than the small intestine ?

Answer 1

The eggs of another type of tapeworm (pork tapeworm) can hatch into larvae in the intestine. These larvae go through the intestinal wall and enter the bloodstream. From there they can travel to different organs in the body, such as muscles, eyes, or brain, where they form cysts.
