It's not just live worms you have to look for - More than that it's eggs. And they're microscopic. My degree is in microbiology and the semester I first studied parasites I lost my appetite and 35 pounds! And I never walked barefoot outside again.
@Ossie112 Thank you for asking! Many parasites, especially microscopic nematodes (worms) lay eggs in their hosts intestines, which the animal then poops out onto the soil. Likewise, bacteria can produce spores - Tiny capsules of bacterial DNA that can be reconstituted into live bacteria when the right environment comes along. (Then there's amoebas and other single-cell organisms. . . . . The poop from healthy animals is bad enough, but sick animal's poop can make big trouble.) Those eggs and spores are built to survive outside, so weeks, months, and even years later, they're still viable. You walk through the dirt barefoot and if there's any break in your skin, what's in the dirt will find it's way into your bloodstream. It doesn't have to be a big cut - even a skin-tear by a toenail is enough. In cultures where people walk around barefoot, they develop thicker soles on their feet which helps protect them - but they can get infected just the same as anyone else.
A lady in Zimbabwe spent the whole day selling her wares at a busy market while having contractions. She delivered as soon as she got to the hospital where I was working. Women are strong 💪 💪
"Farmed Salmon" does not mean they are raised in a land-locked pool that completely isolated from the environment In fact most salmon farming practices(especially in Norway) are just a huge net floating on the open sea Listen carefully at 3:00 he chose his word extremally carefully "raised net" so that the fish "never touches seabed" By saying so he misled the audience to think the fish are 100% parasite free But in reality seabed is only one route among many other possible infection routes fishes can get infected by parasites
Bollox, my daughter is a freshwater biologist and worked with the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (CFAS) in the UK. They regularly find nematodes (worms) in farmed and wild fish used for Sushi etc. Many species of nematodes can survive freezing below -70 Deg.C. The message is simple, eating uncooked fish of any kind is unsafe.
@@shaunburns3332 I was working as a chef for 5 years and I've seen a couple of worm infested fish myself. Although they were not ment to be eaten raw in my case, I still threw them away without hesitating.
@@shaunburns3332 My daughter has some horrible little stories. CFAS have to survey and sample all fish farms in England. She tells stories of setting out from Weymouth on a Monday morning, spending the week taking samples (and freezing at -70 Deg.C) and returning to the lab with them on a Friday. Then, the following Monday they'd return to the lab and thaw them out and do whatever "science" was needed. Frequently worms would re-animate after a week frozen at -70. Now the chances are that even if you ingested them nothing would happen, but there's always a chance you'd be the unlucky one, and even end up with a worm cyst in the brain.
I seen parasites in near shore fish in west Florida for around 35 years, they were visible in very few fish at the start and gradually progressed , I started seeing them in sea trout, and over time I've seen them in gag and red grouper, amber jack , the fish have become infested to the point where I see them in almost every trout , red grouper and amber jack.I haven't tested fish past about 30 miles off shore. Strange that I've never heard anything about it on the news 😮😢
It's not like the EU is the only place to require freezing raw fish, it's the same in most developed western countries. The UK will simply have their own requirement to freeze raw fish.
Has anyone verified that reanimated worms from frozen fish are still viable, or are they no longer fully functional and would harmlessly pass through the digestive track?
She asks the man if they've ever found a parasite in the fish, he says never but the worker behind him..I don't know if the look he gives says otherwise but just keep quiet 🤷🏻♀️
bought something like cod at a healthfood market, took it home there was little worms all over in it so I took it back to the store because I was shocked and the man at the fish counter said 'it's all like that, we try to pick out the worms' like what the hell, so nasty
@@stewartread4235 The actual situation is not a contradiction though, you just stated it incorrectly in a way that makes it sound like a contradiction. "Tuna OK because it's from open water" is not accurate, it should be "tuna OK because it is frozen."
In short yes..... Just as we saw you're video about egg farming but yet people still get salmonella... Now for most cases if everything was properly stored and... Sure the risks are tiny however... How many corners are cut every day... And even without presides we cannot freeze bacteria/... Raw fish's just not ideal
You can if the fish is contaminated with the tapeworm eggs to begin with but a proper sushi chef will always get the freshest best fish and will be able to identify tapeworm eggs in the fish during the filleting process. So it's not too much of a concern, eating fish raw isn't as big of a problem as eating beef raw because they don't have the same chemical composition in their meat so it's different.
This is objectively untrue - chefs don’t only remove and adult parasites they find. They don’t remove eggs because they can’t because they are microscopic. The solution is simple - only eat fish that has been flash frozen. Even the world’s most esteemed sushi chefs admit they can’t taste the difference between never frozen and flash frozen fish.
3:39, you can tell the guy is lying with a straight face. When he heard the word " parasites" he almost freaked out and deny right way because if he be honest, his business is going down.
The flash freezing used by fishermen is much different from your home freezer. It freezes the meat quickly enough that large ice crystals cannot form and thus preserves the quality of the meat. Even the world’s most esteemed sushi chefs openly admit that they cannot taste the difference between fresh and flash-frozen fish.
@@capodad2u Sashimi is all raw fish. Sushi can have raw fish as topping, but some other cooked toppings are also available, like egg, eel, octopus, scallop, and, believe it or not, salmon.

Sounds like a good diet method!
Huge Respect & Kate to still give out such good content and working being pregnant. Kudos:)
Absolutely 👍👍👍
And to the millions of pregnant women working right up to birth around the world!
Typical for women in the U.S.
A lady in Zimbabwe spent the whole day selling her wares at a busy market while having contractions. She delivered as soon as she got to the hospital where I was working. Women are strong 💪 💪
Gotta respect that they send the pregnant woman who shouldn't be eating sushi to investigate the sushi case.
there is no way the man selling fish has never found worms on their farmed salmon
Parasites don't appear out of nowhere, if they carefully choose suppliers with strict standards its entirely possible to have never found a parasite.
Parasites are virtually always present on wild fish. Farmed salmon is so medicated and treated it's highly unlikely.
"Farmed Salmon" does not mean they are raised in a land-locked pool that completely isolated from the environment
In fact most salmon farming practices(especially in Norway) are just a huge net floating on the open sea

3:39 never. The other guys look. Yeah right never.
Is it just me or was the gentleman's response to the question " have you ever found parasites here" seemed a bit off at 3:39?
You have to freeze wild caught fish in the US too. My guess would be any cases are from people who have caught their own fish and made sushi.
My daughter never made her own sushi, and she had a tape worm.
@@1purplekw You can get tapeworms from other things too. It might have been from the sushi; its just pretty unlikely.
You can get things from deer jerky or wild meat if it is smoked. That's why they say freeze it for thirty days at least.
Send the pregnant lady to go eat raw salmon.. brilliant!!
Why do presenters always have to have a go? It's not necessary, makes them look daft and often leads to something wasted.

Interesting to think the UK no longer have that EU protection on freezing.
Brexit wasn't the smartest idea.
It's not like the EU is the only place to require freezing raw fish, it's the same in most developed western countries. The UK will simply have their own requirement to freeze raw fish.
4:20 I’ve first heard this from Dr. Francisco Diez Gonzalez the Director of Centre of Food Safety at the University of Georgia.
Has anyone verified that reanimated worms from frozen fish are still viable, or are they no longer fully functional and would harmlessly pass through the digestive track?
Of course, otherwise it wouldn't be recommended. Freezing kills things and heating kills things.

Watching while eating spaghetti.
very honest story telling very honest...............
Salmon has no parasite because it is NOT wild, and tuna has no parasite because it IS wild. Ridiculous!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's not what they said, watch again but try to listen this time.
I want to try soooo bad but I live in the US and most restaurants don’t care about our health 😭 thanks for this video!!
Massive contradiction, tuna OK because it's from open water and not farmed.
Salmon OK because it's farmed and not from open water. !!!
Wow I thought I was the only one who noticed the convoluting story why each type of fish does not contain the parasites
No, the tuna is okay because it has been frozen. Being from the ocean would put it at risk of parasites otherwise.
I thought replies here are in response to what I posted, read the post first please, it's about contradiction!!

Mmmmmm...fish.
Been wondering
@ 4.25 .. We're not in the EU, mate.
Why take risk when you know it's a risk? Ouccch Duhhh
Well,i find it difficult to believe the guy but yeah ok..
nevus have I evuh seens one 'o dem parasites in one 'o these here fishes, lovely
This makes me so ill 😷
The manager saying he's never seen a parasite in any of his fish lol . Ffs have a day off .....
Not convinced
ahhh yes the so called health farmed Norwegian grey fish
Just don’t eat it
God all that food is taking its toll
Japanese been eating it since the 3rd century BC and they are ok so I think your ok...
Farm salmon...basically not good sushi
Oh a baby bump
"In the EU..." well yeah, so... good luck now :-)
Yum. They Look like noodles
Pregnant women should not eat raw meat, raw fish, raw milk.....
Gestation sushi
And since you're out of EU, guess what...
She looks amazing pregnant xx
Reason #74 not to eat sushi.
Wait , is she pregnant ?
