Dangers And Complications Of The Tapeworm Diet

Getting a parasitic infection can result in a dangerous scenario, but some individuals do this intentionally to increase their ability to lose weight. Individuals will swallow some sort of capsule that actually contains the egg of a tapeworm, then wait for it to hatch and grow in their intestines. The entire premise behind this risky diet is the tapeworm will eat the food eaten by the individual, allowing them to lose weight without working at it. Although weight loss is often a side effect of a parasitic infection, there are other dangerous side effects and complications that make the tapeworm diet too risky to be worth any real value at all.
