Just thinking about a tapeworm gives me the shivers. What are your chances of getting a tapeworm? Take the quiz! The questions will make it rather obvious what the risk factors are. Link -via the Presurfer

Under 50%, Hell yeah!
ok so having a 33% chance of being a host to a tape worm is not the least bit comforting, although maybe that’s the reason I’m so slim!

As long as he comes with an adorable little hat and scarf, I’m all good.

38% chance, but I’m still not giving up raw fish and rare meats.
Do tapeworms really make you slim?

it’s not working : ( I think I’ll just have to assume the worst.

I was surprised to see that salmon is considered a freshwater fish …

10%, and only because of farm animals and mice. I like all of my meat well done.

I’ve thought about getting a tapeworm, but I don’t know. Would he get along with my cats? What kind of toys do they enjoy? Can I leave it in the house all day unsupervised? I mean really, it’s tempting but I’ll probably just get a ferret instead.

I’m with dgaicun on this – I’d be a proud host to any tapeworm who could say “Howdy, pardner.”

Well, I couldn’t even answer question 2 because I’m a vegetarian, and then the site broke out in an ad plague. So I’ll take that to mean: 0% chance.

funny this is here… ive got a pork loin in the fridge that i wanted to make… it says use or sell by 2-26…but i so want it… should i take my chances???
seekshelter
i seriously need an answer on that…. im hungry and all i ate today for lunch was some soup…
meg
20%, mostly because I like my meat medium rare (even though I don’t eat meat anymore…I’ve eaten a lot in the past) and I work with farm animals. Meh.

I’m disappointed that vegetarians can’t do the quiz? Is that because the chances are zero?
DOJ
Vegetarians can take the quiz?
I thought you liked your animals uncooked?
LisaL
Pfft, you leaf eaters wish you only had 0% chance… just pick well done for the meat questions.
Humo
It’s almost complete bullshit, because too simplistic.
For example: it doesn’t ask you how often you eat meat.
I like my beef meat medium rare, and enjoy time to time raw beef meat (tartare or carpaccio). If carefully chosen, or in a proper restaurant, the chance to get a tapeworm is extremely close to 0 in developed countries (at least, in western Europe). Pork is a more serious issue, it has to be eaten well cooked. Anyway, raw pork is disgusting.
Anyway, tapeworm infestation is very rare in developed countries, and is very easy to cure.

This is so retarded, I bet my chances are close to 0%. It was pretty obvious which are the right answers, and i always wash my hands, don’t eat raw meat, never eat fish, etc. But I happen to live in a developing country, so it suddenly jumps to 22%. Screw you, shitty quiz, I’m probably cleaner than most people in America, and surely waaay cleaner than most europeans.

Johnny Cat, I’ve thought about getting a tapeworm, too. But then I’d have to carry it around all the time. And it would eat all my food! And it might not like living in my stomach either. It’ll complain about the smell of stomach acid and, er, other stuff.
Capella
Ever took one of those tests, hoping secretly to score higher than others?
I only got 24% :/
I think Im going to have to get a dog.
