As a zoology student I spend an enjoyable (:rolleyes:) afternoon dissecting parasitic worms from sheep intestines. The insides were absolutely stuffed full of massively long parasitic worms (our lab tecs had taken a trip down to the local abbatoir) and this is just normal.

O....M....G.... I'd better not let the family in on this one. They'll never touch fish again.

All fish have parasites in them, its unavoidable unless you have fish bred in sterile water. As a zoology student I've disected many a fish....you want to see them under a high powered microscope. But if you think thats bad take a look at a cut of meat under the microscope....its enough to turn you veggie but then theres all those bugs in soil or worse still all those pesticides :rotfl:

Thankfully i don't eat any seafood but unfortunately am quite partial to a bit of meat and veg, will have to stay clear of that now! What will i eat now

I wouldnt worry about it. Chances are everyone who eats fish has eaten one of these worms in the past and if the OP has only just noticed them who's to say they weren't in the fish she's had in the past? They won't do you any harm and as they live on fish you won't be able to taste them either.

Dogfish were always particularly good for a crop of worms, I recall.

Now lets see ...

Fisherman goes out to catch a fish .. what does he use ?

Bait .... what bait ?

Worms !!


Why .. because fish like to eat worms therfore man with worms catches fish.

Why would we complain about fish containing worms ?

Have you ever seen what your pork chop eats ....
