A man who contends he got a 9-foot tapeworm after eating undercooked fish has sued a Chicago restaurant. In the lawsuit, Anthony Franz said he ordered salmon salad for lunch in 2006 and fell violently ill. He later passed the giant parasite, which a pathologist determined came from undercooked fish, such as salmon.
After hearing reading about this man, you can't help but be a little concerned about tapeworms.
But, just how would you know if you became infected with a tapeworm. What would tapeworm symptoms be like?
According to the Mayoclinic.com, most people do not show symptoms.
Tapeworm symptoms vary widely, as do the treatments. Symptoms can include:
- Nausea
- Loss of appetite
- Abdominal pain
- Weight loss
- Weakness
- Diarrhea
- Inadequate absorption of nutrients from food
You can prevent tapeworm symptoms by making sure you wash your hands before eating.
And, unlike the Chicago man, avoid eating raw or undercooked meats.

Well, considering what was mentioned above, I will also mention a cure/treatement used in in the Middle Age in Transylvania but still valid today. Just eat some uncooked garlic! A lot of garlic. Just eat together with some other type of food and after about two or three feasts you will have in your stool not 1 or 2 segments, but many more or even the entire worm.
And something else. In Balkans area (Romania, Serbia, greece, Bulgaria, etc.) it is no such thing as rare meat or steak in blood. The meat, traditionally, it is always well cooked. For expats who come in the area and still preffer the rare meat, they will face tha Balkan Syndrom (some bacteria living in the meat) and in about 1 to 2 years they will have their own "surprise" as ulcer or other types of intestinal or stomac issues.
In Balkans garlic it is not used against vampires, at least not against the big ones, but against the smaller ones :) and is ussually sezoning the food.
