There are reportedly increases in worm infections associated with the growing popularity of sushi and sushimi. On of the more recent stories concerns a Japanese woman, complaining of a sore throat, who was found to have a substantial nematode worm lodged in her left tonsil (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jul/14/worm-found-in-tonsil-of-japanese-woman-with-sore-throat). The live worm was safely removed in hospital with tweezers but it does confirm that you could get more than you bargained for with uncooked food.
