When I was searching through the world-wide-web, I came across an article which almost made me puke. First of all, at the medicine.com it is said that eating sushi (raw fish) can cause an infection by parasites from the fish. Anisakiasis, that's how the disease is called, contracted from infected seafood which is eaten raw or marinated. Symptoms are: nausea, abdominal pain or diarrhea (within 12 houra of eating infected seafood; can last weeks to months)The second article I found was telling the story of an Japanese man, who complained about persistent headache. However, he just put it off as a migraine and stress from work. The pain in his head got worse and worse, he even started to lose his psycomotoric skills. So he seeked for help. The doctors finally found out what the reason for his terrible headache was: tiny worms were crawling around in his brain.
Here's the link, to check the story out yourselves. Watch out the pictures are shocking and disgusting: http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl-brainworms.htm
