They will probably find alot of parasitic people in high numbers if they sampled them as well in california.

I don’t know anyone eating raw freshwater fish?

Get me some fresh caught yellowtail, wasabi and soy sauce and now you’re talking!

trout, for breakfast, freshly caught and roasted over the open fire at your campsite. That’s the ticket.

Why sushi tuna has no worms. When it is caught it put into a serious deep freeze that kills all parasites. Aldi’s has excellent sushi grade @$6.00/lb. I ate some yesterday. Don’t waste time/money on wasabi, which is fake stuff anyways. Dijon mustard is just as good.

Ocean fish in general has no worms.

Well now, that’s certainly a great comfort to hear! (NOT!!)

Where is that cartoon Dog wearing his Derby, sitting in a room surrounded with leaping flames, saying “Everything is fine!”

Now, I feel validated for resisting the Sushi trend and never having tried it. The plates/ trays are very well organized and visually striking. A strong sense of Japanese design prevails.

You would not believe how popular it has become in Bay Area grocery stores! Mostly with working age adults.
They line up, as though getting tickets in a concert.

I wonder if there is an ivermectin like medicine that we could ‘salt’ the lakes with, in order to rid ourselves of this invasive species.

Course it would probably have an effect on other things at the same time.

I would work on the assumption any wild animal
Has parasites. I don’t k know what the statistical averages are, but I gotta believe no matter which species you look at in a complete wild setting, I would assume probably around 80% if not more have some sort of parasitic infection

It is not the parasitic worms in fish that have destroyed CA...
It is parasitic worms in the state house and those that migrated across the border illegally that have destroyed CA...

Further proof (as if needed) that everything touched by CA libs turns to s**t. EVERYTHING, even the fish.
