Chinese sushi-lover infected with multiple tapeworms after eating raw fish delicacy


If you’re thinking about tucking into a plate of sushi for lunch, this story could have your

reaching for the cheese sandwich instead.

A Chinese man was left riddled with tapeworms after enjoying too much sashimi

a Japanese delicacy consisting of slices of raw meat or fish.

The man went to his doctor in eastern China’s Guangdong province complaining

of a stomach ache and itchy skin, the Daily Mail reported.

A series of X-Rays taken at the Guangzhou No. 8 People's Hospital revealed that

his entire body had been infected by the parasite.

Tapeworms are able to live inside a person’s small intestine and can be contracted
by eating raw or under-c-o-o-k-e-d freshwater fish, such as salmon, which has been

contaminated by cysts containing diphyllobothrium larvae.


Complications can arise when these cysts settle outside of the intestines, including
in the liver and brain, leading to a condition called cysticercosis. The cysts can then
become infected by bacteria; if they burst this can result in a severe and potentially
life-threatening allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis.

Writing in the journal Canadian Family Physician, Nancy Craig said that freezing
fish before it is served ensures that any larvae present are killed.

She added that although cases of tapeworm have decreased in previously endemic
areas due to improvements in sewage treatment processes, there have been more

reported cases in parts of the developed world, "presumably owing to increased

consumption of raw fish".

Cancer kills three 9/11 firefighters on the same day
داء السرطان يتسبب في موت ثلاث إطفائيين في نفس اليوم



Three firefighters who were on duty at Ground Zero during the 9/11 attacks have died on the same day from cancer, fire officials have said.


Lieutenant Howard Bischoff, 58, and firefighters Robert Leaver, 56, and Daniel Heglund, 58, died within hours of one another on Monday.


Thousands of people who helped the 9/11 rescue efforts have been diagnosed with illness, including cancer.
But doctors say it is unclear whether sickness can be linked to the attacks.


Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro described the three men's deaths as a "painful reminder that 13 years later we continue to pay a terrible price for the department's heroic efforts".
"On that day when first responders arrived, the air was toxic and remained toxic for many months afterward," said the president of the Uniformed Fire Officers Association, James Lemonda.


Some 1,000 deaths have been linked to illnesses caused by toxic dust issuing from wreckage at Ground Zero.
The first responders worked without masks for hours
Many of those who were on the site have suffered from respiratory illnesses, and hundreds of first responders have also contracted cancer.


But despite these numbers, no clear link between the attacks and cancer has been made.
Medical studies have not reported evidence of a substantial surge in cancer rates to those connected to 9/11, though government reports have suggested that workers were exposed to a number of chemicals that could cause cancer.


The Fire Department of New York has said that in addition to the 343 firefighters who died on the day of the attacks, a further 89 have died from illness.


The US Congress has set aside $2.78bn (£1.7bn) to compensate those with illnesses that might be related to the attacks.


But legislation which provides medical treatment and compensation to 9/11 victims is due to expire in two years, and Congress has yet to vote to extend it.


"I'm asking [leaders in Washington] to be as brave as the people who responded on that day," said Mr Lemonda.
"This is not just a firefighter issue. This is an American issue."
