I was once husking some corn on the cob when I was around 15 years old...you know that hair-like stuff that is in there? It was infested with worms the same color as the hairy stuff! The only way you could tell the difference between the two was because the worms were moving! I threw that corn in the air and ran into the house! It was several years before I ate corn on the cob again, and I still will not husk it!

My mother''s best friend bit into a chocolate Kimberley biscuit and when she looked down at the other half left in her hand, it was full of maggots

Needless to say it''s turned me off Kimberleys and the rest of my family always break them in half now before eating them.

I was 8-years old. I''ll never forget it...I was standing in the kitchen with my brother. I opened up a granola bar and starting munching down when I felt something crawling all over my hand.

To my complete HORROR, I looked down and there were little bugs crawling all over my granola bar, down my hand and by this point - around my mouth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!

I spit out all that was in my mouth and freaked out, screaming, running around the house like a swarm of bees were attacking me! It was a horribe, tramatic event for me and I''ll never forget it.

I still get nightmares about bugs crawling all over me. Though it''s not a terrifying as my fear of worm/parasites! OMG,worst fear EVER! And now I''m totally freaked about this "brain worm" found in sushi? I LOVE sushi

As a sushi lover I had to look this up...

Tapeworms, roundworms, and sushi

As to the version of the story featuring Mr. Fujiwara, the alleged sushi fanatic who contracted "brain worms" by eating raw fish, it is quite simply preposterous. Though there are precedents in the medical literature to support the claim that certain species of tapeworm or roundworm can infect the human digestive tract when ingested in raw or undercooked fish, I could find no indication that these particular parasites (in contrast, say, to the pork tapeworm, which is capable of causing a much wider and more serious array of symptoms) can migrate to other organs, such as the brain. In documented cases where pork tapeworm larvae have been found in the brain, they were embedded, cyst-like, in the neural tissue. They would not be capable of crawling around around freely, nor of boring outward through the patient''s skull to emerge through the scalp.

Lastly, to set the record straight on one final medical matter, maggots can infest the human brain, evidently, and so can certain types of tapeworm larvae. But these conditions are fairly rare, and -- in spite of what you are likely to hear through the Internet grapevine -- they don''t result from ignoring ingrown hairs or binging on sushi.

Im not gonna stop eating sushi... I mean sushi has been around for a long time and you can get sick from almost any food you eat.
