Overview
Poor sanitary habits, contact with pigs and living in an endemic area are the main risk factors for having cysticercosis.
Cysticercosis risk factors
Statistically proven risk factors are:[1]
- Poor defaecating habits
- Inability to identify pork infected with cysticercosis
- History of passing Taenia proglottides
- History of raising pigs
- Feeding human faeces to pigs
- Using pigs barn as a toilet
- Using dipping method for washing hands [2]
