Anyone know about parasitic infections that affect the lungs and intestines?

It is known that pork must be thoroughly cooked to kill any parasitic worms that might in in it. The worms from pigs go out in their shit. Other animals, and humans walk in the shit and the worms attach themselves to the feet and burrow into the foot, getting into the bloodstream. then they get carried to the lungs where they get coughed up in phlegm and then swallowed into the stomach where they find their way into the intestines. I suppose they stay there for a while, or forever, and possibly their offspring go on through the intestines, out in shit, and the whole process starts over.
Usually called “tape worm.”
A person having a tape worm might eat normally but be losing weight. Segments of the tape worm are sometimes found in the victim’s feces, which alerts the victim of the presence of said tape worm.

@kritiper Once the worm is in the intestines, if the person is using very clean bathroom practices can the offspring get into the lungs again? I’m confused about that.

Separate question from lung involvement, can the offspring grow in the intestines too? Once the tapeworm is in the stomach it can produce a whole family that is born and lives in the intestines without going anywhere else?

@si3tech That’s just a lung condition though, isn’t it? It might still be helpful, but specifically I was asking about parasites that live in the intestines.

Different parasites have different life cycles. And there are a lot of different species of parasites that infest humans.
You need to identify the parasite that you are interested in before you can get the life cycle.

There are intestinal cestodes, nematodes and trematodes that are parasitic to humans. Also a large amount of parasitic protozoans.

All questions answered @JLeslie at a Medical Doctor level.

@JLeslie Pneuumocyctis previously thought to be protozoa now believed
to be fungus. AKA parasite.

@JLeslie It cannot get into the lungs again. It’s goal, if you want to call it that, is to get into the intestines. That’s where it can feed, grow, and multiply.

@kritiper Thanks. Very helpful.

Parasites gather in the soft underbelly and multiply. Then they start raising funds, nominate viral candidates, have toxic elections, and eventually are excreted out major orifices when they become intolerable. Reinfection occurs when voters start eating their own shit.

But I’m not a medical professional. I just dress like a nurse when my boyfriend asks me.
