>> Don’t forget the parisites in raw fish <<

The fish used by the Japanese for RAW sushi don’t have parasites. If it were otherwise, the Japanese would all be dead by now.

All fish have parasites & pathogens.
A successful parasite does not kill the host.
The Japanese people have a high rate of parasite infection caused by eating raw fish.
Some parasites go unnoticed, others cause gastrointestinal distress. Some parasites need to be surgically removed, like the one guy in Japan with the worm in his brain.
