Not a tapeworm
This is, IIRC, a guinea worm. Much nastier than a tapeworm.

Segments
The segments (IIRC) break off and contain eggs. These are excreted to be picked up by herbivores.
​
They can't, I don't think, regenerate. I'm pretty sure it is simply a matter of taking the correct pill. But then I've only treated the kids pinworms. Not on the same scale.

long but skinny
It'll be dead before it let's go.

They are long but they are very, thin. I'm not sure you'd notice them leaving. They seem to be a few mm wide and very thin.
