/ck/ - Food & Cooking

The heat of the cooking kills the worms.

Most wild game has parasites. Some are harmless to humans, some aren't. Fish tend to be safer in this regard. But all animals that live without veterinary care are gonna have something hitchhiking on them, it's just how nature works. If it's dead from cooking it's not a problem. Just protein.

>>19148202
Cultured fish are more at risk, so are predatory fish like salmon, mackerel, cod, swordfish and tuna. It's becoming a huge problem because cultured fish obviously infect their wild cousins.

>i'm pretty sure my cod had worms in it
If it was after cooking then you probably didn't see a worm but one of 2 nerves that goes through the fish's flesh at the sides of the spine.

>>19148202
Not a photoshopped worm at all.

Cod often has worms but if you cook it, you kill them.
Have fun with your Orthorexia.

>>19148202
if you cook it at all, it will kill any parasites

>>19148295
that is a 100% authentic and very well known picture of an anisakis parasite lmao

>>19148202
If the fish's been flash frozen the parasites are dead. It just means more free protein for you

For more than a year now I've been absolutely terrified that I'm infected with a parasite, all because of something I thought I saw in a bowel movement over a year ago
Because of that I've constantly psyched myself out over symptoms like recurring bouts of stomach pain and soft bowel movements. However I drink A LOT of alcohol and this was always normal for me.

I don't know what to do to stop worrying. I'm so scared.

most common parasites are easily treatable once you notice them (if you do at all, tons of people carry them and dont even know). not sure why youre shitting yourself so hard.
>t. parasite

>>19148772
Because I see screencaps of those articles of people whose brains and muscles become literally filled with worms and cysts and it terrifies me

>>19148830
Just be aware of the symptoms.
>Symptom 1: Posting on 4chan
OH SHIT NOT LIKE THIS NOT LIKE T

>>19148855
we're literally the cream de la crop of comedy and entertainment. Sometimes smarts too. there are doctors and my PHD students that browse this site. They're great people. We're great people. Have some pride, we earned it

>>19148227
Bit how that meme works, just like how simply heating the eggs won't destroy them

>>19148941
Counterpoint: pic related.

>>19148962
The shit of the posting forces the meme.

>>19148941
Much like how very high and very low IQ people both trend towards substance abuse, alcoholism etc, so it is with posting on 4chan.

>>19148972
you and I are Patrick Batemen tier posters. The deniers like >>19148963 are filthy welfare baskets who slurp Pepsi and chain smoke all day whilst watching cable television between bouts of mentally ill rage induce domestic violence

>>19148759
umm, go visit a doctor?
you do live in an actual first world country, yes?

>>19149014
>you and I are Patrick Batemen tier posters
Cringe

>>19149018
nah, I'm American
the doctors don't actually do anything and then charge you $50000

>>19148202
All animals have parasites. You have thousands of parasites inside you right now. This is a fact of life.
For fish, nearly all wild fish have parasites inside as well. Why wouldn’t they? This includes things like tinned mackerel and sardines. If you open and dig through 3-4 cans, I guarantee you will find at least 6 parasites like your pic.
If you cook your fish, any parasite will die. Stop being a dumb faggot

>>19149014
Patrick Bateman loves diet Pepsi, you posing fuck.

>>19148202
almost all fish has parasites, if you cook it to temp it doesn't matter
you can also get some fish that has been deep frozen or do it yourself with a deep freezer if you want to make your own sushi...normal freezer will not work

I went through what you did after I had some bad sushi and had all the signs of worms, intense stomach pain within 24h, took 2 to 3 weeks to clear up (when the fuckers usually die off). sometimes they get stuck in your throat and make their way into your lungs, heart, muscles, etc but it's a little more rare. Usually they just give you hell for a while.

personally I won't touch sushi anymore even though I got sick once in like 50 times going there, but it's your call. it took me like 3 months before I would even touch fish again, I was super paranoid

>>19149733
That's why professional sushi chefs in Japan takes several years of apprenticeship before they are ready to prepare... They need to learn to identify parasites so customers dint become ill

>>19148202
This is why you should brine your wild caugt meat.

>>19148202
Everything has parasites what do you think an immune system does?

>>19149733
>Usually they just give you hell for a while.
you know there is a horse paste you can take for those?

>>19148759
Unironically eat some ivermectin paste, Soolantra rosacea cream is good if you can't get the actually horse paste. If you have any worms or parasites in your digestive tract that shit will kill them fast.

>>19148202
Just chew it properly wwwwww

>>19148202
>less likely
maybe, chances are every fish has atleast some form of parasite big or small inside it.
So always cook your fish, or if you do sashimi make sure the it has been frozen to kill the parasites

had to deal w worms once before, unfortunately found out when i was trying to poop and saw the poop dangling from some rope mission impossible style. the next month was hell but i got prescribed albendazole or some shit and they were eventually gone. worst part was i could feel in my gut when a shit was gonna be a worm shit vs not, never gonna forget that

>>19148202
>cod
>red
Why woul you just lie like that?

The human body designed itself to ward off parasites.
