10 Tapeworm Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #9: Lumps
It is not unusual to find various lumps and bumps in the body, especially as we get older. Thankfully, the vast majority of these are harmless and can be left alone, although some might choose to remove them for aesthetic reasons. Some lumps, though, are not so harmless and can present a real threat.
In severe infections, tapeworm larvae and eggs can end up leaving the digestive system and finding themselves in the body’s tissues. This can form lumps, or cysts, which can be found in tissues throughout the body. Whether or not these are harmful will depend largely on where they are located.
