It is also worth noting such marine creatures as shrimp, octopus, squid, as they are also used for the preparation of rolls and are often carriers of worms.

Is it possible to get worms from worms, and what are the most commonly found helminths in rolls? Most often in the land there are pathogens of such diseases:

1. Diphyllobothriasis. The causative agent of helminthiasis is wide. In the human body is fixed in the small intestine, where the worm can live for years( up to 20 years and more).You can get infected when using in rolls such fish as perch, pikeperch, representatives of the family of salmonids, etc.;
2. Opisthorchiasis. Pathogens - hepatic trematode, or as they are called, the liver fluke( Siberian fluke).They affect the liver and bile ducts, as well as the gallbladder and pancreas. Infection occurs when using fish for cooking sushi, which belongs to the family of carp( roach, crucian carp, bream, rudd and other representatives);
3. Clonorhoz. Called by the Chinese fluke. Initially, the disease is characterized by the presence of allergic manifestations. Later worms affect the hepatobiliary system( liver, pancreas and bile ducts).Infection occurs through the same fish in rolls, as in opisthorchiasis;
4. Metagonome. The causative agent is the intestinal trematode. It affects the small intestine of a person, which in turn is characterized by dyspeptic manifestations. You can get infected if the land contains such a fish infected with worms, like trout, crucian carp and others;
5. Nanophytaemia. It is caused by a worm from the group of nematodes( salmon flukes).Getting into the intestine, it affects its mucous membrane and causes disturbances on the part of the digestive system. You can get infected by using rolls with salmon fish.

The main group of symptoms of the presence of parasites of this type in the body include:

• symptoms of intoxication - weakness, fever, loss of appetite, weight loss;

• disorders of the gastrointestinal tract - diarrhea or constipation( or alternation), nausea, vomiting( single or recurring), abdominal pain, mainly in the navel, flatulence, enlarged liver or spleen, etc.;
• disorders from the nervous system - general malaise, sleep disturbance, irritability, constant fatigue, headache, etc.;
• allergic reactions - rashes and itching of the skin, there are manifestations of the type of bronchial asthma, allergic rhinitis and so on.
