Occasionally a segment may crawl out by itself and be found in the underclothing.
People get tapeworms from eating pork ( pig meat) beef ( cow meat ) or other meat that is not well cooked.

Prevention:
- Be careful that all meat is well cooked, especially pork. Make surd no parts in the center if roasted meat are still raw.
