Sushi today is one of the most favorite and popular types of food for many. And for some, like Australians or Japanese, they are often the staple food. Thousands of people feast on them every day - but for one person, they nearly caused suicide.
A resident of Guangdong province went to the hospital with complaints of abdominal pain - and X-rays showed that all his organs were literally occupied by tapeworms.

Doctors believe that the reason for this was the man's passion for sushi, he constantly ate them with raw fish. There were so many worms in his body that his first impulse, when he saw on the X-ray the swarming army of parasites inside himself, was to jump out of the window. They managed to stop him.
Tapeworm larvae enter the human body when they eat insufficiently washed, fried or cooked meat. Housewives often get infected by tasting raw minced meat. With the disease, nausea, decreased appetite are observed. If the worms enter the brain, developmental delay is possible.
