"He told me he was freaked out, but I guess when you think you’re dying because your entrails are shooting out your bottom and you find out it’s not you, but something else, that’s probably a good thing."
Says a doctor quoted in "How the sushi boom is fuelling tapeworm infections/As eating raw fish has become more popular, gruesome tapeworm tales have emerged. But how worried should sashimi lovers be – and how else might we become infected?"

Hosting a parasite is not all the fun that it's cracked up to be. Thank God Obama and Hillary have been slowly removed from our entrails. Now we just have to stop eating raw Socialism.
This is an example of moronity. You don't eat fresh water fish, even part time fresh water, raw. You only eat salt water fish raw. This is why we get laws that require special signage. Expect that to be on labels soon: "DO NOT EAT THIS FISH RAW"
The only time I'll eat sushi is in a survival situation...
Now the poor guy is all alone except for billions of bacteria.
City seems to be Fresno
A nice drink of Raw Water will fix him right up.
After a meal of raw fish, may I suggest Exlax for dessert?
I hear you can get rid of tapeworms by eating a Tide pod.
The transmission is far more likely to come from faecal contamination, rather than eating undercooked meat, he says. “It’s a huge problem in places such as Central America, where there is a large pork industry and amount of pig farming; the worse the sanitation conditions, the more likely there is to be transmission,” says Olsen. Tapeworm infection is thought to be a cause of up to one-third of cases of epilepsy in the region.
Althouse should forward this to Trump as an example of a lefty approved way of calling someplace a Shithole.
"Four slices of burnt toast and a rotten egg."
Ah HA! As I thought. This is another instance of a) citation bias and b) restricting immigration from south of the border.
First, tapeworm and derivative infections are not all that common (about 1/100,000); but, when they occur in a specific case, we are totally gagged with a spoon. Having ANY worm infection is well over the top (I had several living in India) even though treatment is effective and quick. Generally the source is very poor sanitation (hence, the above shithole comment) and raw meat consumption (where the meat has not been well handled or well handled by people with terrible sanitation). The CDC says the total reported (although well under the actual incidence) is about 1000 cases in a year. https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/taeniasis/gen_info/faqs.html
Second, a great deal of the reported incidence of tapeworm and derivative infections appear to come from immigrant groups coming from south of the border. A study of emerging infectious diseases reported by the CDC (Taenia solium Tapeworm Infection, Oregon, 2006–2009), the authors found:
"To determine the incidence of NCC and to pilot screening of household contacts for tapeworms, we conducted population-based active surveillance in Oregon. We screened for T. solium infection by examining hospital billing codes and medical charts for NCC diagnosed during January 1, 2006–December 31, 2009 and collecting fecal and blood samples from household contacts of recent case-patients. We identified 87 case-patients, for an annual incidence of 0.5 cases per 100,000 general population and 5.8 cases per 100,000 Hispanics. In 22 households, we confirmed 2 additional NCC case-patients but no current adult intestinal tapeworm infections. NCC is of clinical and public health concern in Oregon, particularly among Hispanics. Public health intervention should focus on family members because household investigations can identify additional case-patients."
CDC also reports a study on "Pacific Broad Tapeworm Adenocephalus pacificus" where the incidence of tapeworm is growing:
"The Pacific broad tapeworm Adenocephalus pacificus (syn. Diphyllobothrium pacificum) is the causative agent of the third most common fish-borne cestodosis among humans. Although most of the nearly 1,000 cases among humans have been reported in South America (Peru, Chile, and Ecuador), cases recently imported to Europe demonstrate the potential for spread of this tapeworm throughout the world as a result of global trade of fresh or chilled marine fish and travel or migration of humans. We provide a comprehensive survey of human cases of infection with this zoonotic parasite, summarize the history of this re-emerging disease, and identify marine fish species that may serve as a source of human infection when eaten raw or undercooked."
CDC gives lots of research on this topic (rare incidence but with very high shock value--is that chum of click bait?). The common denominator, however, is the level of sanitation from which the food product comes. Pacific not frozen means the parasites travel alive; flesh (animal or fish) that is handled by people who do not wipe the shithole before handing food will pass along whatever emerges in the shit onto the food. It's a lot like e coli outbreaks.
I find this entire discussion extremely upsetting so I'm going off to get some comfort food: sashimi and rice.
If you're of a certain age, you don't listen to rap music and eat raw fish.
Don't buy your sushi from a street vendor or roach coach.
Or at all.
I worked in the Pacific salmon fishery for five years in varying capacities. One thing I learned was, never, never, never, never, never, never eat raw salmon. Never eat raw salmon. Ever.
That's why all the sashimi (at least in theory, unless someone's skirting the law) in the US is deep frozen between catch and consumption.
(I also note that the Guardian's clickbait headline [what were the odds?] is at odds with its own reporting, which provides zero evidence I could see that "the sushi boom"* is causing it: The transmission is far more likely to come from faecal contamination, rather than eating undercooked meat, he says. “It’s a huge problem in places such as Central America, where there is a large pork industry and amount of pig farming; the worse the sanitation conditions, the more likely there is to be transmission,” says Olsen. )
Your sushi is safe; freezing kills parasites.
(* The sushi boom? I guess Britain is a few decades behind the States, where ours was in the '80s.)
That’s why we started cooking our meat several hundred thousand years ago.

Cooking improves the taste of meat, and makes it easier to chew and digest. The anti-worm thing is an added bonus.
IIRC, sashimi is raw fish. Sushi may or may not include raw fish.
@Tyrone, what if I eat raw salmon? Is that ever okay?
Gahrie asserts: Cooking improves the taste of meat, and makes it easier to chew and digest. The anti-worm thing is an added bonus.
A nice filet of beef is best browned on the outside. Period.
Can't wait for some genius to take these same tape worms and serve them up raw for the next guy!!! Maybe with a side of Jalapeno Tide Pods.

Beware of linguini that moves...
Speaking of parasites and internal worms. NoKo,
*Surprised wapo would report this. Seems to go afoul of leftwing talking points on how great noko is.
I know that people will complain about their marriage, and their relationship, especially the women, usually complains that her husband does not love her anymore, her husband cheats on her and even her husband left her, I had a very similar case with them, my husband left me with my two kids for no reason, he said his no longer in loves with me, He walk away for about 5 months, he never called me or the kids, I had a girlfriend, who had a similar case like mine, but her husband is with her now, I told her about my problems I was facing, she told me about a man that helped her resolve her problems, she introduced me to priest manuka, who actually helped me with his great powers to recall back my husband within 7 days, but today am proud enough to testify about him for what he has done for me is not easy to be a single mom, today my heart is filled of joy and peace of mind, may the GOD'S be with you and bless you for the smile you have put in my face...Contact him for help his temple is real he will talk with you on video for guidelines via email::lovesolutiontemple1@gmail.com hangout is priest manuka .THANKS
As a child living in North Carolina, I went barefoot outdoors every summer.
And I got a checkup every year before school started.
And I got dewormed a few times.
Such is a life well lived.
I enjoyed it.
