3. Malnutrition
Just like how tapeworms can cause a huge increase in appetite, they can cause malnutrition by devouring all the nutrients the host consumes. Malnutrition occurs when the body is unable to absorb or obtain all the nutrients that it needs. Some signs of malnutrition can be feeling tired all the time, increased need for sleeping, muscle weakness, and even an increased risk of infection. Malnutrition can result in extreme weight loss. Vitamin deficiencies are another outcome of malnutrition. If you are experiencing malnutrition for no known reason, a parasite may be the culprit.
