@drjoe_md: Parasites in salmon are more common than most people realize, especially in wild-caught fish. While definitely disgusting to see, proper cooking and proper freezing are highly effective at killing these parasites and making the fish safe to eat. The biggest risk comes from eating infected salmon raw or undercooked, which can sometimes lead to anisakiasis, a condition where the larvae can burrow into the stomach or intestinal wall and cause severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and inflammation. Would you still eat the salmon after seeing this? 🤢 #Salmon #FoodSafety #MedicalFacts #LearnOnTikTok
