The only use that tapeworms have is that some weight-loss pills were actually loaded with tapeworm eggs...You will definitely lose weight if you have a tapeworm infestation.
Tapeworms are intestinal parasites that infest many domestic animals and humans. They are incredibly long and stay put by hooks on the anterior end that dig into the wall of the intestine. The segments towards the posterior end mature and produce eggs. The segments eventually break off and pass out the animal to be eaten by other animals grazing in the same area. They weaken livestock and cause them to not put on weight.
