As the host of this video suggests, eat before you watch. Tapeworms are gross, and harmful.
Tapeworms infect humans when they eat undercooked meat. They can grow as much as 3 to 10 meters inside you, live there for years and you might never realize that you actually are infected. Other times, the symptoms may be very mild. You might have a stomach ache, lose weight and so on. But a good indication is when you spot proglottids (a segment of a tapeworm) in your poop.
To not get these, you must ensure that the most inner parts of your meats reach at least 63 degrees Celsius (71 C for ground meat) when they are getting cooked.
