This very well known parasite, known as the pork tapeworm, inhabits the small intestines of humans and can grow up to 3 meters long. This is by far the largest parasite offered for your purchase. Compared to other parasites, some see this tapeworm as having a practical use. Many people have ingested the larvae of this parasite in an attempt to lose weight. Although this is a way to lose weight very quickly, it is not the safest way possible. The pork tapeworm has a very distinct and scary looking head with teeth like projections known as rostellum, which are used to latch on to the lining of the small intestine. If you do end up ordering and ingesting this exquisite parasite, one way to get rid of it is by taking a medication known as pranziquantel. However, you have to order one first, so order this tapeworm now!
