Sushi lover’s stomach-churning discovery: a 5-foot tapeworm living inside him
KFOR ^ | 18 Jan 2018

A California man is likely altering his regular sushi habit after discovering a tapeworm that may have entered his body through the raw salmon he loves so much...

...The man thought he was dying, Banh said, “Oh my goodness my guts are coming out of me,” and started pulling at the worm. Once the tapeworm moved in his hand, Banh said, instead of just being horrified, the man was also relieved to know that it wasn’t his own entrails.

fugu, or blowfish, is so poisonous that the smallest mistake in its preparation could be fatal.

No problem in Japan . Fresh fish is immediately deep frozen killing parasites . No idea what the Americans do when they catch .

No need to actually ingest a tapeworm for weight loss.

From wiki:
Tapeworms are treated with medications taken by mouth, usually in a single dose. The drug of choice for tapeworm infections is praziquantel. Niclosamide can also be used.

That said, recall the quote:

“Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint.”
Mark Twain

That tapeworm already has a CA drivers license, and is registered to vote.

The home remedy for a tapeworm that big, you know, is a box of sugar cookies and a wooden mallet.

Health law says fish to be served raw first gotta be stored for 30 days at 7 degrees F. Then thawed out. Should kill any parasite...but think of it...even tho they be dead...you might be eatin parasitic remains...raw or cooked...not every fish have worms or parasites...but many do have em from what i have been told...

To quote Moe Howard, “I want burnt toast and a rotten egg. I’ve got a tape worm, and that’s good enough for him...”

OK, that's gross. Funny, but gross.

30+ years of eating sushi and sashimi by the barrel-load in this land of people with the longest life expectancy.
And yet, ••my•• tapeworms are only about 8 inches in length! /s

“.The man thought he was dying, Banh said, “Oh my goodness my guts are coming out of me,” and started pulling at the worm.”

He thought his intestines were coming out so he started pulling at them? What a freaking genius.
