how does one get rid of tapeworm?does one have to poo it out?

Answer 1

Your doctor will give you some medication to kill it. Then yes, it will have to come out in your bowel movement(s).

Answer 2

Go with the medication. And beware, until the tapeworm is killed, any stools may have active proglottids which means that feces can pass on new tapeworms. Good point for handwashing that!
And just for fun, some of those proglottids can actually crawl around by themselves which according to a former professor, makes for a very creepy site as your "deposit" crawls away.

Answer 3

Amazing as it may sound, back in the early 1900's, people would use tapeworms as a means of weight loss. Since the worm attaches itself to your intestines, yes the only way is to get the proper medication from your doctor. The worms will die and be be disposed of in your waste.

Answer 4

Most of the time humans don't get it, Usually just cats and dogs. If you have tapeworm or your animal does you need to see a dr. to get meds. No, they aren't pooped out. They die internally. I just got tape worm medicine for my cat the other day and the doctor told me that they won't come out of the cat!

Answer 5

you're going to have to use medication from a medical doctor and yes it will come out through the rectum. In natural medicine taking black walnut hulls in capsules, three capsules three times a day with a large glass of water will help get rid of the worm.

Answer 6

You need to be dewormed. Left untreated, tapeworms can result in malnutrition and even death.
