Characteristics of Anisakis

As a characteristic of Anisakis, the body length is about 2 to 3 cm,and curled up.
Anisakis larvae are known to parasitize mainly seafood such as mackerel and horse mackerel, and move from the internal organs to the muscle of the fish after the parasitized fish dies.

Reasons for food poisoning
Anisakis can penetrate the walls of the stomach and intestines and can cause food poisoning if eaten raw.

How to prevent food poisoning
・When buying seafood, choose fresh.
If you buy a whole fish,remove the intestines.
・Don't eat internal organs
・Visually confirm and remove Anisakis larvae.


Just being aware of these things can reduce the risk of food poisoning.

Anisakis is a parasite that I've heard of before, so I'm glad I learned about its ecology!

Good to know how to prevent food poisoning!
