These Intestinal Worms Might Be Hiding In Your Sushi, Doctors Warn

Cynthia Sass, RD, Health’s contributing nutrition editor, recommends that clients who are pregnant, are trying to get pregnant, or have a weakened immune system avoid raw fish. “For these people, the risks of contracting a parasite can be far more serious,” she says. “For healthy adults, I don’t think you need to nix sushi or raw fish completely, but be very choosy about the source—don’t be afraid to talk to a chef to ask questions about how raw seafood was sourced, handled, and prepared.”
