Doctors pull 1.5-inch worm from woman’s tonsils after she ate sashimi By Hannah Sparks
Raw fish strikes again.
Sushi, poke and other similar dishes have gained a reputation as a risky food group, where even the most prized cuts can come with an unwelcome garnish: parasites.
By nature of their uncooked preparation, parasites that call many fish home can survive even while the fish is out of water and long-dead. Sometimes just a few millimeters long, these worms can go unnoticed on the plate, and later wreak havoc on your insides.
On July 8, doctors in Tokyo reported the case of an anonymous 25-year-old woman who was admitted to St. Luke’s International Hospital over a sore throat earlier this year. A simple examination revealed “a black moving worm” wriggling in her left palatine tonsil, determined to be a Pseudoterranova azarasi, a type of parasitic roundworm.
In their study, published
They wrote that her “symptoms rapidly improved” after a tweezer-removal. They measured the worm at 38 millimeters (1.5 inches) long and a millimeter wide, and noted that it was “molting the outer cuticle,” which “revealed this worm was a fourth-stage larva of Pseudoterranova azarasi.”
The Pseudoterranova genus of nematode is rarely known to infect the digestive tract, including the throat, where it causes pain, cough and “tingling throat syndrome.” However, usually these parasites settle in the stomach, leading to abdominal discomfort, and usually requires an endoscopy to remove.
There have been hundreds of cases of Pseudoterranova infection around the world, according to their research, which were usually remedied upon removal.
A recent study in the journal Global Change Biology found that “sushi parasites” are on the rise. They noted a 283-fold spike in the amount of Anisakis, another genus of worm found in raw fish, between 1967 and 2017. Study authors called for more meticulous inspection, and further study on the disconcerting trend, which could threaten marine animal populations.
“At every stage of seafood processing and sushi preparation, people are good at finding worms and removing them from fish,” said Chelsea Wood, assistant professor at the University of Washington School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences.
She continued, “It’s not often considered that parasites might be the reason that some marine mammal populations are failing to bounce back. I hope this study encourages people to look at intestinal parasites as a potential cap on the population growth of endangered and threatened marine mammals.”

to 57 mph
- The wind threat has remained nearly steady from the
previous assessment.
- PLAN: Plan for hazardous wind of equivalent tropical storm
force.
- PREPARE: Last minute efforts to protect property should now
be complete. The area remains subject to limited wind
damage.
- ACT: Now is the time to shelter from hazardous wind.
- POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Unfolding
- Potential impacts from the main wind event are unfolding.
* STORM SURGE
- No storm surge inundation forecast
- THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT INCLUDES TYPICAL FORECAST
UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK, SIZE AND INTENSITY: Little to no storm
surge flooding
- The storm surge threat has remained nearly steady from the
previous assessment.
- PLAN: There is little to no threat of storm surge flooding.
Rough surf, coastal erosion, and life-threatening rip
currents are possible.
- PREPARE: Little to no preparations for storm surge flooding
are needed.
- ACT: Follow the instructions of local officials. Monitor
forecasts.
- POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Little to None
- Little to no potential impacts from storm surge flooding.
* FLOODING RAIN
- LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Flash Flood Watch is in effect
- Peak Rainfall Amounts: Additional 1-3 inches, with locally
higher amounts
- THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT INCLUDES TYPICAL FORECAST
UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK, SIZE AND INTENSITY: Potential for
moderate flooding rain
- The flooding rain threat has remained nearly steady from
the previous assessment.
- PLAN: Emergency plans should include the potential for
moderate flooding from heavy rain. Evacuations and rescues
are possible.
- PREPARE: Consider protective actions if you are in an area
vulnerable to flooding.
- ACT: Heed any flood watches and warnings. Failure to take
action may result in serious injury or loss of life.
- POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Significant
- Moderate rainfall flooding may prompt several evacuations
and rescues.
- Rivers and streams may quickly become swollen with swifter
currents and may overspill their banks in a few places,
especially in usually vulnerable spots. Small streams,
creeks and canals may overflow.
- Flood waters can enter some structures or weaken
foundations. Several places may experience expanded areas
of rapid inundation at underpasses, low-lying spots, and
poor drainage areas. Some streets and parking lots take on
moving water as storm drains and retention ponds overflow.
Driving conditions become hazardous. Some road and bridge
closures.
* TORNADO
- LATEST LOCAL FORECAST:
- Situation is somewhat favorable for tornadoes
- THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT INCLUDES TYPICAL FORECAST
UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK, SIZE AND INTENSITY: Potential for a few
tornadoes

previous assessment.
- PLAN: Emergency plans should continue to include possible
tornadoes.
- PREPARE: Stay within your shelter keeping informed of the
latest tornado situation.
- ACT: Move quickly to the safest place within your shelter
if a tornado warning is issued.
- POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Limited
- The occurrence of isolated tornadoes can hinder the
execution of emergency plans during tropical events.
- A few places may experience tornado damage, along with
power and communications disruptions.
- Locations could realize roofs peeled off buildings,
chimneys toppled, mobile homes pushed off foundations or
overturned, large tree tops and branches snapped off,
shallow-rooted trees knocked over, moving vehicles blown
off roads, and small boats pulled from moorings.
