FRESNO, CALIFORNIA — A sushi fanatic from Fresno ended up with a 5-foot-long tapeworm, and doctors think the ridiculous amounts of raw fish may be the reason. <br /><br />The man went to the the ER and complained about bloody stool. The doctors did not think anything particular was up until the dude pulled out a tapeworm from a grocery bag. <br /><br />Turns out the tapeworm was actually 5-and-a-half feet long. The man said it felt like his guts were coming out on the can. He then tried to grab the little fellow, but it started moving.<br /><br />The CDC had released reports of contaminated Alaskan salmon being infected with Japanese broad tapeworm parasites. <br /><br />The man and his doctor figured out it was his daily feast of salmon sashimi that was most likely the cause. <br /><br />The guy is now taking medication and has given up sushi — for now.
