Tapeworms embed
their heads
into the intestinal wall and remain there. From there, certain types of tapeworms
can produce eggs that mature into larvae that migrate to other parts
of the body. A tapeworm looks like a
long, white ribbon. They
can grow up to 80 feet
long and
live in a human for up to 30 years.Use a
meat thermometer to ensure that the
meat is thoroughly cooked. Freeze pork. Freezing pork that is less than six inches thick for three weeks will
kill parasites. However, trichinella
parasites in wild-animal
meat are not killed by freezing, even over a long period.
