No. There are some some good recipes for tapeworms. You need to consult a doctor though. Please seek medical help and do not listen to this squad of idiots here on Yahoo Answers.

It is possible but it would take a long time and you would be ill for a long time before you died. The first thing they would cause is malnutrition and if they continue they may cause an intestinal blockage which is possible to be fatal. Adult tapeworm (in humans) are 15 to 30 feet long. The largest ever noted was 59 feet. I hope this answers your question.

I'm a nurse. Yes anything is possible. It is treatable and should be taken care of right away to avoid any further complications. Take care
