2 out of 3 abrahamic religions do not eat pork. The other two major religions(hinduism and buddism) also frown on eating certain kinds of meat.

Sad, but also true for those of us Gentiles that LOVE “meat candy” (bacon).
I’ve learned just recently God’s directive is for all that believe in Him; good advice for our health from above-—for our own good, but Damn! All considered “scavengers” are what I love to eat! Scallops, shrimp, catfish, pigs (bacon-sausage); as you state, those that chew their cud and those that have fins and scales that swim the ocean are to be our food.
Rats!

“Dont eat pig meat people”
I don't want to eat pig meat people; I'm not a cannibal.

Yes. The answers are in the text as to how they reach the brain.

The very early symptoms of these worms is that you began to act, talk, and eventually morph into being a radical LIBERAL.

Parasite infections are very common even in the US.
There is a good, cheap dewormer for people: www.humaworm.com

Eating meat that it not thouroughly cooked? Yes. Eating undercooked pork. I don't know if that is the only way, but it's certainly, by far, the main way, the principle way, one becomes infected.

My travels to northern California didn’t include a jaunt down to San Jose, I’m afraid.
I’m somewhat familiar with the mythological being but thought it was “plumed” which I took to mean feathers.

Heard it over 30 years ago from my uncle. His version ended ‘”What? No bread?” Wham!’

Now, we have full explanation for the idiocies of Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Bawney Fwank, Babwa Boxer, and of course, the Obamaloon. Makes sense. They are renowned for their Pork in bills.

Im feeling a sudden urge to chug some veterinary de-wormer. Ditto. In reality, all we need to do is make sure pork is cooked thoroughly. while I cook pork until it is white throughout, it is really no longer necessary. We are now advise that some pink in pork chops, for example, is perfectly O.K.

On skimming I don’t see anything about whether these tapeworms can keep going in pigs alone. If it absolutely needs a human to pig to human cycle, modern sanitation practice in the US (even in the deep country, people don’t abut their outhouses to hog slopping operations) would seem to make it impossible. Now in Mexico, it could be a different story, especially where night soil (human waste) is used to fertilize.

Our family gave up pork. I immediately stopped having joint pain. Seems God knows how we should eat.
