A Guy Ate Some Bad Sushi And Now He Has A Billion Tape Worms Swimming Inside Him

Daily Mail- It is the most expensive – and many would argue delicious – part of a sushi menu. But one man’s love of sashimi nearly killed him after it led to his body becoming riddled with tapeworm. The Chinese man had gone to his doctor complaining of stomach ache and itchy skin. To his horror, scans revealed his entire body had been infected with tapeworm after eating too much sashimi – raw slices of fish. Doctors believe some of the uncooked Japanese delicacy of raw meat or fish must have become contaminated.  He was treated at the Guangzhou No. 8 People’s Hospital in Guangdong Province, in eastern China. Research has shown that eating raw or undercooked fish can lead to a variety of parasitic infections. Tapeworm infections occur after ingesting the larvae of diphyllobothrium, found in freshwater fish such as salmon, although marinated and smoked fish can also transmit the worm.  While cases have increased in poorer areas due to improved sanitation, cases have increased in more developed countries,.

I’ve never had sushi and this story all but guarantees that I never will.  I’ve never had sushi for a couple reasons.  One, it never sounded that appetizing to me.  Uncooked seafood sounds fucking gross if we’re being honest.  I’d much rather eat regular a burger or a steak or whatever.  I’ve never once had the craving for sushi.  Second, part of the reason I’ve never had sushi is out of spite.  The reaction some people have when I tell them I’ve never had sushi is the same reaction you’d expect if you told someone their Mom died.  They CAN’T BELIEVE IT.  All of the sudden nothing makes sense to them.  They don’t understand why and get hysterical and sometimes angry.  Those people make me mad and that’s the second reason why I’ve never had sushi.  Why not just eat sushi and then people won’t have that reaction, you ask?  Because fuck them.  And now I have a third reason not to eat sushi.  Tape worms.  Look at those pictures above.  Dude’s belly is filled with nothing but tape worms and that’s fucking gross.  You kinda have to know going that eating raw seafood probably isn’t a great idea, right?  So this is kinda on the guy who ate the bad sushi.  Sorry pal.  You voluntarily eat raw seafood, you sign a contract that says you can’t be mad about having a billion tape worms in your intestines.  That’s life.

PS- Bad timing for this guy.  If we were right on the cusp of summer this would be a positive.  Those tape worms are going to eat him from the inside out and he’s going to lose a ton of weight.  He’d be a ladies man if this were, say, May.  But it’s September and winter will be here soon.  that means sweatshirts and heavy coats.  Even if he gets Brad Pitt’s body in Fight Club from this no one will notice under his hoodie.  Poor guy can’t catch a break.
