Sushi scares - infectious diseases associated with eating sushi or raw fish

Snips:

Human infection by Anisakis simplex (herring worm) and other nematodes, or roundworms, is caused by eating certain raw or undercooked fish. Ingestion of the worm can result in severe abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting within hours of ingestion and has been misdiagnosed as appendicitis or other stomach diseases. If the worms don’t get coughed up or vomited out, they can burrow into the walls of your intestines and cause a localized immune response.

Another Vibrio species, Vibrio vulnificus, has been found in oysters, clams, and crab. In healthy people, ingestion of this microbe can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain, but in people with liver disease or weakened immune systems, the microbe can enter the bloodstream, causing the life-threatening condition of septicemia.

All about sushi worms

If sushi worms are present in sashimi – those tasty raw bits of fish flesh – they may even be visible to the naked eye. Some individuals have reported a tickle in the throat as the worms begin their passage. In many cases, the sushi worms will continue uneventfully through the stomach and exit through the intestinal tract. They will likely die along the way. Milder to severe symptoms may begin occurring in two hours following a meal, but may become present up to two weeks later. This condition is known as anisakiasis. Pain in the abdominal area may occur as well as nausea and vomiting, followed by intestinal distress (often likened to Crohn’s disease). In extreme cases, exploratory procedures and surgery are required to remove the sushi worm.

SASHIMI, a way of serving raw fish, presents that risk. Most other seafood is blanched, or even steamed briefly ~ think of it as pasteurized.

You can freeze the fish and that kills the worms you mention.

Sushi is just a way of serving rice ~ the fancy way ~ use Kokuho Rose or Nishiki. This is a sticky rice so sticky you can make blocks of it that hold up under any sort of handling.

It’s incrementalism. They got the smokers.

If the Statists told you what their real agenda is, normal Americans would be repulsed.
