Can you get parasites in your brain from eating raw sushi and sashimi ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Always possible: Parasites do afflict fish, and also, toxins, especially mercury, can concentrate in certain fish species. But you are constantly exposed to infectious organisms, and environmental toxins, and the fact you have reached 37 yrs is testimony to a robust immune system.
