Once the eggs hatch in the human’s small intestine, the larvae
penetrate the lining of the small intestine and enter the blood
stream. From here the larvae can be distributed to any organ in
the body. The larvae then grow into the metacestode stage, a
cysticercus. Mature cysticerci can range in size from 5 mm in
diameter up to 20 cm (almost 8 inches!) in diameter.
