How to Treat Tapeworms?

Medical Treatment:

A tapeworm infection can be treated by niclosamide or praziquantel. This kills the worm so it passes out in your poo
Make sure you wash your hands regularly in the weeks after taking the tablet - Especially before eating and after using the toilet (it avoid any eggs getting into your mouth and infecting you again)
A few months later, a sample of your poo will be checked to see if the treatment has worked
Even if you have passed a large piece of worm, this does not always mean it is fully gone. If some of it is left in your gut, it could regrow
