No, but they won’t do anything to you once they get into the muscle. They’re accidental parasites that got into the wrong host instead of pray animals.

These whipworms lodge deeply into the tissue waiting indefinitely for you to get eaten so they can break free from their capsule when stomach acid dissolves it, but since that probably won’t happen, your body calcifies them and they stay in place without pain or much harm other than activating your immune system.

I think the worst is probably when they get into the brain, which can cause neuropathy and sometimes seizures. But besides being gross, they’re usually nothing to worry about.

Of course, the image is of a Chinese man with a severe case of infestation that made the rounds from over-consuption of infected meat from a street vendor, iirc. The average person who’s infected usually has a handful at most and doesn’t show signs or symptoms.
