You should still go see the doctor

your bare hands?!

Sections of the tapeworm, known as proglottids break off when they mature. They are basically egg sacs. The mouth of the tapeworm is fixed to the intestine wall and will not be disloged by pulling as the lower sections break away. Tansy is a natural de-wormer, otherwise you will need an anti-helminthic medicine. Otherwise you will remain infected. Also make sure you maintain good hygiene as it is possible to reinfect yourself feco-orally :)

You really shouldn't just pull it out, some of them are really dangerous and either latch on to your insides or have hooks so probably should have gone to the doctor.

There could be more up there.. It's better to see a doc. Take care OP

Wow that is not what you wanna read mid-shit

Yeah there's still tons more worms inside of you... You need to see a doc.

As others have said, the head of the tapeworm can't be removed by pulling. If you don't take something to kill the head, it will regrow the body segments. There can be serious health effects from leaving it. You can get tapeworms from contaminated water, plants watered with contaminated water, or eating undercooked meat from an infected animal (like fish or steak). This is why you're not supposed to eat meat that isn't at least medium cooked, reaching an internal temperature of at least 150F.

I'd go see a doctor, OP. There's always the possibilty that you have more than 1.
