Tapeworms and lice are indeed examples of many celled organisms, also known as multicellular organisms, that are capable of causing diseases in humans. These organisms can be classified as parasites, which live on or in a host organism and cause harm to the host. Tapeworms belong to a group of flatworms, scientifically called cestodes and can live inside the human digestive tract causing various health issues, such as abdominal discomfort, diarrhea and weight loss. Lice, on the other hand, are small insects that infest human hair and skin. They can cause itchy skin, rashes, and if left unchecked, can lead to infections due to scratching.
