Taeniasis patients might develop the most severe form of worm infection, cysticercosis, since their feces hold eggs and pregnant proglottids of taenia and there is risk of self infection because of bad hygienic habits, like not washing the hands subsequent to defecation. If these individuals ingest eggs of the parasite they can generates cysticercosis too.
