If you eat sushi made with raw Alaskan salmon, you may be exposed to parasites and tapeworms. The Japanese broad tapeworm, can grow up to 30 feet long in the human body:
Most people who become infected have no symptoms, the CDC says. But some suffer abdominal pain, diarrhea and weight loss. Over time, the infection can also lead to deficiency in vitamin B12

There's always the hepatitis-A option.
That's why there's menus.

Vaccinations for parasites? I must be missing something on that one.
From the cnn link:
"Most people who become infected have no symptoms, the CDC says."
If this actually prevents people from eating raw fish (wild pink salmon?) that would be...something
Eat raw farmed salmon!

common and natural... most fresh fish have live parasites in them.. I used to pick them out all day long... pinworms...
more are found in bottom dwellers like rockfish lingcod halibut flounder sole, etc.
if the worm is still alive, the fish is fresh....
thats why you cook fish, or have a pro cut it for sashimi

Does poke count? I had some yesterday, no matter. I had worms when I was a kid, survived. Big deal.
