August said:
you could look at it
turn it over
look at it some more
make an incision or two with a knife
look inside the fillet
and there we are.
a giant parasitic worm only has so many places to hide
it won't be hiding in some infinitesimally small cranny.

Sure, but some fishermen use real worms, not plastic worms, right?
so what happens? ..never mind..i know, really...lol!

not necessarily. bait worms, for one, probably don't even reach the stomach of a caught fish, since the fish are effectively dead as soon as they bite the hook. they certainly don't have time to swallow and digest a worm before they're reeled in and suffocate.

second, when and if fish eat worms, they will most likely be annelids (earthworms - these are used for bait) which would pass through the digestive system and give nutrition. flat- and roundworm parasites, on the other hand, live in the flesh or intestine, are not digested, and take nutrition from the fish. i haven't gone out of my way to taste a parasite-infected fish to compare it to a normal fish, but i would imagine they are smaller, weaker and maybe even taste bad. if you contracted a parasite (let's say a tapeworm) you would lose quite a bit of weight because they eat a lot of your digested food before you get the chance to use it as your own food source (they can grow obscenely long, i don't remember exactly how long but it's more than 10 feet)

when you eat a cheeseburger, it ends up as energy and waste, you don't find huge chunks of intact cheeseburger hanging out in your muscles and liver.

Yeah, I know. I was just joking ;)
 
:ugh3:

I bought seafoods from frozen stores a lot.

Yes, what August said is correct. It won't hurt you when the fish need to cook deep.

I never, never, never eat any raw fishes... :barf:

Human Intestinal Parasites Worms

Parasitic Worms "Read" The Body's Immune Condition And Reproduce Accordingly

see it said it infect 250 millions people world wide.
Click to expand...
250 million worldwide

out of a total, let's say, 6.5 billion

that's 3.9% of the global population

so you can't say "we have intestinal worms too"

because "we" only applies to people living in abject poverty and unsanitary conditions.

i.e. third world countries.

from the first website:
People with intestinal parasite infections are usually under-nourished and weak, infected with viral, fungal, or bacteria, and have various types of chemical and metal poisoning.

starving, chemically poisoned people with unchecked infections aren't that common in developed nations.
 
What about the diaherra that we normally get ?? where did we get that from? bacteria.. prolly parasites then. lot of kids dont wash their hands more often kids are the one who get sick with that.
 
diarrhea is a somewhat universal problem that occurs as a side effect to many different ailments. it could simply be that the person's diet is too watery, but it's usually associated with bacterial infections. bacteria and parasites essentially do the same thing (live inside a host and take nutrition from that host) but they are not the same. the key difference is that white blood cells give no immunity to parasites. with a bacterial or viral infection, the body can usually kill the infected cells on its own, but with parasites, there is no way to get rid of them without outside assistance. this is why impoverished people with parasites can live with them for their entire lives if they don't get treatment. most parasitic infections can be cured with one pill. which makes the situation all the more tragic, because it's such a simple and inexpensive thing that can dramatically improve or save lives and hundreds of millions of people can't get it.
 
I would like to order fried fish with tape worm on it. Yummy!
 
i would like to forget the fish entirely and just order the tapeworm, por favor.
