Hello, the pig tapeworm is harmful to human body, because the biggest difference between pig tapeworm and beef tapeworm is that the intermediate host of pig tapeworm can be a human being, while the beef tapeworm can't, and the eggs of pig tapeworm can also infect human beings and make them get cysticercosis, which is more harmful than the adult parasites.

Because people can be both final and intermediate hosts of the pig tapeworm, the danger of becoming an intermediate host (i.e. cysticercosis) is much greater than that of being a final host. Cysticerci can be found in a variety of tissues, most often in the central nervous system, but also in the eye, muscle, liver, and so on.
