[Extra] Parasite

Middle-aged and elderly people like Welder Zhao are often very stubborn in their ideas. Once they believe in something, it is difficult to believe in other theories... It is not their fault. Maybe when young people like Zhang Zian grow old, Will be more stubborn than this generation of middle-aged and elderly people.

Welder Zhao decided that there could be no parasites in the sashimi he ate. The reason is simple—everyone eats it like this, and it’s fine. I heard that young people especially like to go to Japanese food stores to eat sashimi and sushi. I haven’t heard of it. Who has had trouble with it.

Everyone’s fine, so I’m fine—in fact, many people think so, and they’re right in most cases, but a lot of things are just a matter of probability. It’s not your turn to win the lottery, and maybe it’s your turn to be unlucky. is you.

Electrician Wu was skeptical, and he also felt that if eating sashimi could cause accidents, how many people in the country would have accidents?

Zhang Zian knew that Zhao Welder could not be persuaded by words alone, and he was not 100% sure, so he said: "Master Zhao, I just said that there is such a possibility, and it is very easy to confirm, you go to the hospital, Check it carefully, don't just look at the results of the gastroscopy and think that you have stomach cancer or something."

Upon hearing this, Welder Zhao asked him to go for an examination, and one refused to go, and hundreds of others refused to go. Wu Electrician was so angry that he almost tied him up and sent him to the hospital forcibly.

"How about this, Master Zhao, if you don't want to go to the hospital, I won't force you, but I heard that you bought several fish, have you eaten all of them?" Zhang Zian adopted a devious strategy.

"No, those fish are quite big. I have frozen the unfinished ones in the refrigerator. Do you want to try them?" Welder Zhao asked.

"It's okay to taste it, but if my suspicion is correct, then the eggs or larvae of parasites should be found in the fish... Do you have a magnifying glass at home?"

"A magnifying glass? My little grandson has one. He often uses the magnifying glass to play with the fire, and every time he lights it up, he pees on the kang... Let Lao Wu get it for you." Welder Zhao pouted at Electrician Wu.

Zhang Zian followed Wu Diangong out of the bedroom, the latter went to ask for a magnifying glass, and the former went straight to the kitchen, rummaging through the freezer for fish.

After a while, when Zhang Zian took out a few pieces of fish that were hard enough to kill a dog, Electrician Wu also came in with a magnifying glass.

The two used kitchen knives to cut out a few pieces of meat from each of the fish, and soaked them in water to thaw.

After another ten minutes, when the meat was soft, Zhang Zian took a magnifying glass to conduct a carpet search on the surface of the fish.

"Did you find it?" Electrician Wu asked impatiently, his presbyopia really couldn't help, so he could only watch from the sidelines.

This is a meticulous job. Zhang Zian's eyes were sore after searching, but he didn't find anything he suspected.

He shook his head.

Electrician Wu sighed in disappointment. Although it is disgusting to eat parasites, it is better than getting cancer. "Let's advise Lao Zhao to go to the hospital as soon as possible."

Zhang Zian thought for a while, "I'll look for it again."

"How else can I find it?" Electrician Wu wondered.

Zhang Zian cut the pieces of fish lengthwise, "Maybe the insect eggs on the surface were soaked in water."

After the fish was cut, it changed from a few pieces to a dozen pieces, and the workload became even greater.

"found it!"

Excitedly, he sprayed all the saliva on the magnifying glass, "It's an egg... no, it's a larva!"

"Huh? Let me take a look!"

Electrician Wu was startled, and quickly put his head in front of the magnifying glass, squinting his eyes hard, "Which one is?"

Zhang Zian took a match and pointed it at a small translucent dot inside the fish, "See this? This is the insect sac that wrapped the larvae."

"No, no, I have to get my glasses, wait for me."

Electrician Wu hurried to the living room and borrowed a pair of reading glasses from others.

Anyway, reading glasses do not have particularly precise requirements for the degree, and the degree is about the same.

During this period, Zhang Zian found several similar insect cysts from other fish.

Electrician Wu came back wearing presbyopic glasses. Even with the help of the glasses, he had to work hard to see the appearance of the worm sacs, because the worm sacs were too small and translucent, which was very hidden against the background of pink muscle fibers.

Whether it is a chef in a restaurant or a housewife at home, whoever cooks fish does not use a magnifying glass to observe the fish.

"It's really a bug..." Electrician Wu gasped.

Zhang Zian asked Electrician Wu to find needles and tweezers, picked out one of the insect sacs, and placed it on the table. He asked Electrician Wu to help him hold a magnifying glass. A clump of larvae.

Although the larvae are very small when they are curled up, they are about one or two centimeters long after straightening their heads and tails—even in this state, if you don’t look closely, you may think it is a small piece of white cotton thread.

"Is this bug alive or dead?"

Electrician Wu felt sick to his stomach when he saw it. Fortunately, he did not eat the fish with Welder Zhao. Otherwise, if he ate it and saw the worm again today, he would have to vomit out the overnight meal.

"Dead." Zhang Zian replied.

"Dead...dead bugs...it should be okay to eat it, right?" Wu Diangong asked.

Zhang Zian shook his head, "It's dead now, because it was frozen to death in the refrigerator, and it should be alive before freezing."

"This kind of bug is probably Anisakis, which is widely distributed in marine fish, especially red sea bream, and also in salmon. Do you know why they are called 'Anisakis'? One is because they look like cotton thread, and the other is Because their heads are very sharp, they are especially capable of drilling. After entering the human body, they burrow into the gastric mucosa of the human body to absorb human nutrition. The excrement and dead insects can cause allergic reactions in the human body, manifested in vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain, right? Same symptoms as Master Zhao?"

Electrician Wu was speechless with his eyes wide open, and he choked out a sentence after a while: "Fortunately, my family never eats these foreign fish..."

"There are also hairtails and other household fish, but hairtails are very safe. No one will eat hairtails raw. It will be fine if they are cooked. It is right to supplement protein. It is invisible to the eyes." Zhang Zian spread his hands, "Ordinary people from the TV The salmon bought in supermarkets and supermarkets is fine, even if it is made into sashimi and eaten raw, because those salmon are shipped frozen, and this kind of worm cannot survive for two days at minus 18 degrees."

"But old Zhao..."

"Master Zhao's problem is that the fish he bought are rare fish species, and they are airlifted from Dongying Frozen, not frozen, because freezing will destroy the original taste of the fish, and people who will eat this kind of fish People are more particular about this, now it is popular to eat Japanese food, and eating Japanese food is inseparable from sashimi and sushi, so I never go to those high-end Japanese food stores that claim that the seafood in the store is transported fresh... Of course no one Inviting guests is also one aspect.”
