    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.

      @play005517 3 года назад +4

      "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 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.

    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.

    • @alexanderfreeman3406
      @alexanderfreeman3406 Год назад

      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.

      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.
