Sushi Anyone?
The world has begun to eat a lot more raw fish. With this new trend comes consequences.
Image via Wikipedia
With a sushi bar on every corner eating raw fish seems to have a few draw backs. A man in Chicago who loves this delectable ended up with a 9 foot tape worm. He loves sushi but did not seem to enjoy the living worm who moved into his stomach. After his examination and the doctors diagnosis he decided to sue the restaurant where he ate for $100,000.
Raw fish is filled with parasites so chowing down on it can send you to the hospital with an unwelcome guest in your tummy. The symptoms of these giants are some pain, they can suck the vitamins from your body, cause anemia and certain types can even burrow themselves into the walls of your stomach requiring you to have surgery.
Tape worms have been on the rise with the new trend of eating sushi. I am not sure about you, but even if I was starving I would not eat raw fish. Salmon seems to be a big culprit with tape worm cases tripling from last year, but most fish have parasites.
The infestation of cases is from around the world with the highest concentration on Japan, including France, Switzerland and the United States.
I am not sure if this will deter people from gobbling down raw fish, but with knowing this course could bring you an unwelcome friend squirming around inside of you may just might make you think twice before you indulge. Sushi anyone?

Good article. I have known about the dangers for some time–which is why I, a sushi lover, will only buy sushi made by reputable companies and/or in good restaurants.
I guess it’s like with most things—the meat so many people eat might be bad or there might be somanella in vegetables…

Raw fish sounds horrible to me. I can’t imagine why anyone would eat it.
