Answer:
Contaminated food contains cysts of the parasite. Your child may have a tapeworm infection and have no symptoms. When a child eats tapeworm cysts in undercooked beef, pork, or fish, the cyst survives the stomach acids and releases the larvae
Parasitism is a constant battle for survival between the parasite and its host. Because parasites depend on their host for food and shelter, they must not destroy the host until they are ready to move on to the next host.
