Ingesting the larvae in uncooked pork will give a person a tapeworm. <br/><br/>Neurocysticerosis occurs when humans inadvertently ingest tapeworm eggs directly from soil, skipping the cow/pig intermediate host. The eggs will then hatch in the human, just as they would in a pig or cow, and migrate to form a cysticercus. If they happen to migrate to the brain, they'll form a neurocysticerosis.
