sushi & sashimi

I was in my class earlier tonight when the topic sushi was brought up. Our lecturer then told us one story which happened in Brunei recently. He said in the local newspaper last week a local woman died a week after the founding of worms and its eggs and eating up her brain. In the newspaper, it didn't mention the cause of her death but our lecturer happened to know the lady. She was known to favour eating raw fishes (sashimi). She started to get migraine and the doc was unable to figure out the cause until her brain was being x-ray & scan. Worms that were found in her brain are actually parasites found in raw fish. That is why raw meats should be cooked under the process of high temperature heating i.e: fried, boiling to kill the parasites.

I thought he actually meant the forward email i used to receive of a japanese guy showing worms and its eggs in his brain :S (you can google this). But when he said it's a local lady, it scares the hell out of me. Cos' i tend to order sushi with raw salmons everytime i go to Excapade and there's time i tend to get headache once in awhile too. i just hope it's not some worms growing up in my brain!

Now i have to avoid eating raw salmon too often. I can't stop totally, i'd gotten addicted to it.

Speaking of sushi, Ainie just told me Fuz treating me and herfor sushi this Saturday! damnit how can i not order raw salmon if i'm going there? aiyah.
