Worm from cod still moving after cod is cooked on stovetop for 10 minutes!
So I cooked a cod fillet in a non-stick pan last night on medium to high heat for 10 minutes. When I was halfway done eating the cod, I found a small worm from the cod that was still slightly moving. Startled, I threw the rest of my fish away, but I am now concerned that I may have ingested live worms from the cod fillet. It has been 17 hours since the meal, and I am feeling completely fine. For those of you who are knowledgeable on this subject: can worms from cod still move if they are dead? And are the anti-parasite drugs that a doctor may prescribe safe to use? Should I be concerned?
This man #REF-up
Did you have to pay extra for the worm?
honest question, why is WSO your first port of call for a question like this?
I would recommend you seek medical advice.
to be fair when i was shitting blood about a month ago i posted it on wso first lol just thinking some others may have experienced the same thing i did
you’re good. no need to be alarmed. I fish a lot in Florida and a lot of certain types of big fish you catch have worms. I just cut them out of the fillets and cook up the fish but I’m sure I’ve missed one or two worms in the meat over my life so one time is fine. just don’t make a habit of it. eat a lot of citrus tho just to be safe.
Were you that one kid who was dared to eat a worm at the playground for $5 bucks and actually ended up doing it?
But these worms inside fish are parasites
Free additional protein, you should be thankful
Um....but it’s a parasite
Just have a solid blackout sure the worms don't do well with booze
Did you temp your fish? I'd assume 10 mins is sufficient though and doubt it's still alive. Did you not defrost first?
Fish was not frozen. And I did not check the temperature, but I thought the fish was cooked enough
Very doubtful that there'd be more than one worm in the cod, esp. still alive.
