    When a person eats pork infected with cysts, the scolex (the head of the tapeworm) evaginates and clings to the intestinal wall using its suckers and hooks. Once attached, the segments of the tapeworm, called proglottids, multiply and grow. Within about four months, the tapeworm matures into a ribbon-like structure, measuring 2–4 meters long.
