are certain types of tape worms area specific? I got parasites in mexico when I lived there as a child. How would I know if I had a dwarf tapeworm, besides stool tests? Are there specific symptoms, do segments look different than other tapes? I took 2 grams of niclosamide today, and am getting some relief in stomach, but more out of it than usual, stinging pains in nose are worse today. I would rather not take more niclosamide tomorrow if I don't have to. The drug kills all tapes in one day except for dwarf which takes a week to exterminate.
