More information.

Okay so that's one specific species of tapeworm that they just found, so probably somewhat rare? The worms I'm worried about are NOT rare. Somewhere between 75% and 90% of wild salmon will have worms in the meat, and trout isn't a lot better.

And most of the parasites that have burrowed their way into the meat of the fish will do the exact same thing to you if you eat infected fish. Similar to undercooked pork being dangerous due to tapeworms. It's super dangerous, and there are theories that these worms lodging in the brain may have been what killed Mozart.

If you cook the food it kills the worms. But you're still eating worms. If you freeze the food you supposedly kill the worms, but there have been a bunch of studies that said this isn't reliable and some survive the process.

Don't eat sushi.
