It is the most expensive - and many would argue
delicious - part of a sushi menu. But one man's love of sashimi nearly killed
him after it led to his body becoming riddled with tapeworm. The Chinese man
had gone to his doctor complaining of stomach ache and itchy skin. To his
horror, scans revealed his entire body had been infected with tapeworm after
eating too much sashimi - raw slices of fish.

| Scans reveal the extent of the tapeworm infections |
Doctors believe some of the uncooked Japanese
delicacy of raw meat or fish must have become contaminated. Tapeworm infections
occur after ingesting the larvae of a tapeworm found in freshwater fish such as
salmon. Although it could still be transmitted through marinated and smoked
fish.
