Most humans who carry a tapeworm have no symptoms, other than seeing parts or all of the tapeworm passed in their stool. Despite the common joke to the contrary, weight loss is not a symptom of tapeworm infection. On the other hand, children with large numbers of the dwarf tapeworm may complain of stomach pain or diarrhea. Fortunately, tapeworms can be cured with anti-parasite medication.

Depends, some can cause cysts, particularly neurological, systemically. They can cause intestinal blockage. They may lead to anemia and malnourishment. It is all contingent on the species causing the infection. And, some may be with you for years without any symptoms.
