How do people eat sushi and not get sick, if it's prepared with raw fish?

Sushi is raw fish. And why wud u get sick from eating it?

bacteria/parasites

Anyway the fish has to be fresh, its not like you can just use any old fish.

what do you consider raw?

i eat a popular dish called pleah all the time, which is uncooked beef salad with lemon and mint leaves (the blood from the meat is squeezed out)

i've never gotten sick from eating it ...

Obviously, eating bad fish or anything with bacteria / parasites will get u sick.

But thats not what the thread starter was implying. It seems he tends to ask odd questions.

immune system

Any meat that's not cooked is raw.

Is it true the Japanese like to put eggs on everything?

i saw a pic where this japanese guy ate sushi that was bad and parasites grew in his brain.

ill post when i find it.

No thank you. I believe you.

click if you dare

You deserve a gold star for that observation


joku joku

Another situation occured in the states -- this avid sushi eater had larvae / worms crawling out of his penis.

Hang on folks -- i'll find the pic.

I don't eat raw foods. I'll stick to california rolls.

sushi means the rice in japanese. sashimi is more what you think about when you think of just raw fish pieces.


not everything but a lot of things. crack a raw quail egg on rice but it cooks itself when you mix. .

you're black, do you eat fried chicken at every meal?? what kind of a stupid question is that.

I saw a program on TV about Tokyo-in a lot of restaurants in Tokyo, they put eggs on everything.
Why is that a stupid question?
Let's not play the race card.

i heard you get worms in your brain from eating sushi

ya they put eggs on everything even dessert.

hey Ino, he says don't play the race card but he says "They" what does he mean by "They?"

yeah it's normal. on chocolates, cakes, your naked butt, etc.

hey suren, did u have the coffee egg malt?

hey Ino, you want some egg in your sake?

Hello Suren911. How are you today?

i prefer egg in my orange juice thank you very much

i'm excellent. but egg + sake sounds like a delicious combination. raw or cooked? probably raw.

Suren911, would you mind helping me out with some Japanese?

SUSHI WORMS

wtf... that has to be fake.

Ewwwh. those sushi worms are nasty.

Lol, read the analysis of the photo. But regardless, it sends shivers up my spine.

But this thread has to be a joke... some humour I don't understand.

Parasites you see on a fish can't reach the brain, it has to enter the blood system first, which it can't since fish is usually the secondary host for most parasites, meaning they are too big to enter human blood systems. Besides, the meat on fish being prepared for sushi is usually cleaned, and the skin and intestents removed, which is where most parasites are.

Now pork is a different story though. Several types of parasites remain on the muscle in a crystae form, or even smaller spore-like form, which can get past the digestive system tract and effect other regions, which can include the brain. That's why you never eat raw pork.

Those worms that grow in your brain and other stuff is pure BULL$hit. Read this http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl-brainworms4.htm

i love sushi. raw fish isn't bad for you if its really fresh. ppl eat raw beef all the time...go complain about that too.

How do they prepare the beef?

my grandma eats raw beef and its disgusting. It's all wet and soft and red..........f*ckn nasty.

plus i hate sushi. I've never liked sushi, it just taste like crap to me. but its popular though. maybe i just havent been to any good sushi places.
