To Sushi or not to Sushi?
I can't believe this! Now I don't know if I'm still gonna eat sushi!
(Got this from an email and verified it with real doctors)
This is a true case of a japanese man from Gifu Prefecture who complained incessantly about a persistent headache. Mr. Shota Fujiwara loves his sashimi and sushi very much to the extent of trying to get them as "alive and fresh" as can be for his insatiable appetite.
He developed a severe headache for the past 3 years and has put it off as migraine and stress from work. It was only when he started losing his psychomotor skills that he sought medical help. A brain scan and x-ray revealed little, however. But upon closer inspection by a specialist on his scalp,the doctor noticed small movements beneath his skin. It was then that the doctor did a local anaesthetic to his scalp and discovered the cause... there were tiny worms crawling out of his scalp. A major surgery was thus immediately called for and the extent of the infestation was horrific.
See the attached pictures to the scene that one thought only a movie could produce. Remember, tapeworms and roundworms and their eggs which abounds in all fishes fresh or saltwater can only be killed by through cooking and/or freezing the fish to between 4 degC - 0 degC. The eggs of these parasites can only be killed if it is cooked or frozen to the said temperatures for a week or more. Think twice about that raw dish next time...or you might get a headache.
