Sushi consumption causes increased parasitic infections

Sushi consumption causes increased parasitic infections

Not everyone likes it, but it's true that Japanese food has become quite popular in the West. But care is needed to consume this type of food. Experts in the latest scientific publication British Medical Journal Case Reports have said that the growing popularity of sushi in the West may also be associated with an increase in parasitic infections.

In the study called Anisakiasis: a growing cause of abdominal pain! (Anisakiasis: A Growing Cause of Abdominal Pain!), They reported the case of a 32-year-old man from Lisbon who arrived at the hospital feeling severe abdominal pain, low fever and nausea a week ago. > The blood test showed that there was mild inflammation and the region below his rib was altered. When asked about his eating habits in recent days he said he had eaten at a Japanese restaurant. It was there that doctors discovered that he was actually with a worm located on the wall of his intestine.

The parasite in question is the nematode Anisakiasis, found in fish and seafood that did not go through the cooking process before consumed. The patient had to undergo a surgical procedure to remove the parasite

According to Anvisa, the consumption of raw or undercooked fish should be avoided in order to avoid food contamination.
