How do you get rid of tapeworms?
I know it sounds super gross but how do you get rid of intestinal parasites (namely, tapeworms)?

Ouch, well most intestinal parasites are more common in animals like cats and dogs, especially tapeworms.
But here is a paragraph I found:
Tapeworm Medication
Like I mentioned in the last segment, Droncit otherwise known as Praziquantel generically, is probably your best bet for getting rid of tapeworms in your pets, but it may also be used to get rid of tapeworms in humans as well; though it is sold under a different name, Biltricide. It’s the exact same medication. Even though tapeworms are rare in humans and are usually contracted by eating raw pork, raw beef, and raw fish, (which are easily avoided) I will point you toward another tapeworm medication: niclosamide, commercially known as Niclocide.
It’s an older drug, but its efficacy at getting rid of tapeworms has been proven over the years. Both drugs are usually taken only once, and then stool samples are checked for recurring infection in 1 month intervals.
Also note that tapeworm medications aren’t always 100% effective, and that preventing a tapeworm infection is always better than ingesting toxic chemicals.
Garlic (eaten raw) can also help a bit, but that is just a theory passed on from generations ago.
You may want to try it, if you're willing to.
Hope that helps, and be sure you actually have one before ingesting some sort of chemical or medication.
