Does tape worms go to your brain?

Tapeworms typically inhabit the intestines of their hosts and do not usually migrate to the brain. However, certain types of tapeworms, like the larval stage of the pork tapeworm (Taenia solium), can cause a condition called neurocysticercosis if ingested. This occurs when the larvae enter the bloodstream and settle in the brain, leading to serious neurological issues. It's important to practice good hygiene and proper food handling to prevent infection.
