Migratory Skin Worms from Sushi
Gnathostomiasis from raw fish is a growing problem, manifested by tiny worms that burrow under our skin and, in rare cases, can get into our eyes and brain. Get the preface for Dr. Greger's brand-new book, How Not to Diet, by subscribing to his free newsletter at https://nutritionfacts.org/subscribe. This is like my Tongue Worm in Human Eye (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/tongue-worm-in-human-eye/) or Cheese Mites and Maggots (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/cheese-mites-and-maggots/) videos. Extremely rare, but extremely fascinating (to me at least!). There is one parasitic infection that is much more common and a major cause of disability worldwide, neurocysticercosis: • Pork Tapeworms on the Brain (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/pork-tapeworms-on-the-brain/) • Avoiding Epilepsy Through Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/avoiding-epilepsy-through-diet/) • Chronic Headaches and Pork Tapeworms (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/chronic-headaches-and-pork-tapeworms/) • Not So Delusional Parasitosis (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/not-so-delusional-parasitosis/) I think the only other sushi videos I have are Fecal Contamination of Sushi (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/fecal-contamination-of-sushi/) and Allergenic Fish Worms (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/allergenic-fish-worms/), though the nori is good for you (Which Seaweed is Most Protective Against Breast Cancer? http://nutritionfacts.org/video/which-seaweed-is-most-protective-against-breast-cancer/ and Avoiding Iodine Deficiency http://nutritionfacts.org/video/avoiding-iodine-deficiency-2/) Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/migratory-skin-worms-from-sushi and he'll try to answer it! Image Credit: Heike Rau via 123rf.
