But sometimes, eating raw fish or meat has a major risk. You don’t know if the food is contaminated with bacteria, disease and especially tapeworms. You will ever know these unless you look at it under a microscope but you can’t, so better cook your food properly. Recently my wife had this experience, she saw a worm inside the fish belly while she’s cleaning it and it’s really disgusting.
Many will ignore this danger because for them, eating raw food gives them a different taste and satisfaction. Who are we to take that away from them, but a man from China loves sashimi so much especially sushi…
But his obsession for this delicacy almost took his life because his entire body is infected with tapeworms. Yes, tapeworms!
He went to see a doctor because of stomach ache and itchy skin, to his horror, scans revealed his entire body had been infected with tapeworm after eating too much sushi. The doctor believes that the raw fish used in sushi is contaminated with tapeworm. The Chinese man was treated at the Guangzhou No. 8 People’s Hospital in Guangdong Province, in eastern China.
Research has shown that eating raw or undercooked fish can lead to a variety of parasitic infections.
Tapeworm infections occur after ingesting the larvae of diphyllobothrium, found in freshwater fish such as salmon, although marinated and smoked fish can also transmit the worm.
