I figured you were asking about a pet:
"Tapeworm Facts
Dogs and cats can be infested with two types of tapeworms. Fleas carry the most common type, and rodents carry the less common type. Tapeworm segments are often visible on the surface of your pet’s stool. They usually appear as short (1/2-3/4”), flat, white particles, that when first passed are mobile; or they may be passed still connected in a long, flat string. Dry segments may stick to your pet’s hair, and look similar to a grain of rice. Until recently, the only effective control has required a prescription. However, this drug (Praziquantel) is now available without a prescription, and is 100% effective in ridding your pet of both types of tapeworms."

No, that really will just give it more food.
"Tapeworms can be effectively cured with antiparasitic (antihelmintic) medication once they are detected. Current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines for treatment is a prescription drug called praziquantel. The medication causes the tapeworm to dissolve within the intestines. Praziquantel is generally well tolerated. Sometimes more than one treatment is necessary."
Check out the site below, or type in "Tapeworms" on your search engine to get more info.

Dear Twisted:
If you have a tape worm, see a doctor and get treated.
