Don't rescue tapeworms often have parasites? I don't think that's a dynamic I want in my life.
Get two so it isn't lonely.
My bonded pair of tapeworms
my emotional support tapeworm
Give it a name and tell everyone you're eating for two
Sure, if you want to chase that "active tuberculosis" beauty standard and your idea of a good time is shitting yourself while your bile ducts shut down and you get dementia from neurocysticercosis.
All in all, pretty awesome.
a pet is a big responsibility. consider getting 2 so it doesn't feel lonely.
If you have allergies, it’ll help with that as well! Win win!
wait these guys are optional?
my cat could probably help you out with that
(jk I treated it but he had a big one a couple months back and I have no idea how, he's an indoor 3rd floor cat)
what, like in a terrarium?
As a doctor, I would say that's a great idea and you should do it.

Stop spreading FUD
Anti-tapeworm propaganda
