Do you like sushi? Is it yummy? if you do, read the little story...?

This is a true case of a japanese man from Gifu Prefecture who complains incessantly about a persistent headache. Mr. Shota Fujiwara loves his sashimi and sushi very much to the extent of trying to get them as "alive and fresh" as can be for his insatiable appetite.


He developes a severe headache for the past 3 years and has put it off as migraine and stress from work. It was only when he started losing his psycomotor skills that he seeks medical help. A brain scan and x-ray reveals little however. But upon closer inspection by a specialist on his scalp, the doctor noticed small movements beneath his skin. It was then that the doctor did a local anaesthetic to his scalp and discovered the cause when tiny worms crawled out. A major surgery was thus immediately called for and the extent of the infestation was horrific. See the attached pictures to the scene that one thought only a movie could produced.:

horrifying pictures...

BUSTED!





While medical experts agree that the accompanying stories are fiction, debate over the authenticity of the images themselves is ongoing. When I showed them to pathologist Ed Friedlander, he concluded they had been faked, largely because most of the anatomical landmarks one would expect to find in a dissected brain are nowhere to be seen. Another expert speculated that the photos could be real, but, if so, depict a very serious case of scalp cancer, not a "brain infection." In any case, no one was able to account for their origin.





In a new development, the debunkers at Snopes.com have determined, based on information from an unnamed but presumably reliable source, that the images are indeed real and document the case of 70-year-old man suffering from "an unusual form of cancer which had eaten away at the upper portion of his skull and scalp." Contacted for a follow-up opinion, Dr. Friedlander agreed the explanation is plausible, but in his judgment the photos may still have been retouched. "I cannot account for the apparent maggots and apparent eggs," he wrote.





As to Mr. Fujiwara, the sushi fanatic who supposedly contracted brain worms by eating raw fish, that variation of the tale is simply preposterous. While the medical literature supports the claim that certain species of tapeworm and roundworm can infect the human digestive tract when consumed in raw or undercooked fish, I could find no indication that these particular parasites (in contrast to the pork tapeworm, which is capable of causing a wider, more serious array of symptoms) can migrate to other human organs, such as the brain. In documented cases where pork tapeworm larvae have been found in the brain, they were embedded, cyst-like, in the neural tissue; they don't crawl around freely, nor are they capable of boring through the patient's skull and emerging through the scalp.





To set the record straight, maggots can infest the human brain, and so can certain types of tapeworm larvae. But these conditions are pretty rare and, in spite of what you may have heard through the email grapevine, they don't result from ignoring ingrown hairs or binging on sushi.
Reply:thats very enlightening. I however am a fisherman and i know what lives in those creatures gut and muscle tissue. its not appetizing.MY ADVISE IS :NEVER EAT FISH THATS NOT COOKED PROPERLY. Report It
