SINGAPORE - A woman was enjoying her sashimi rice bowl from Japanese speciality store Don Don Donki recently whenIt is likely to be anisakis, a parasitic worm that can cause an infection with symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea if ingested.
According to a 2020 study by the University of Washington, there has been a 283-fold increase of anisakis globally since the 1970s. While the researchers are not entirely sure of the cause of the surge, they think that climate change, more nutrients from fertilisers and runoff, and an increase in marine mammal populations are some of the possible reasons.
These bugs can be found in crops in the field before they are harvested and processed, and enter homes when they are purchased by consumers. The weevils feed on the internal portions of grains, and can be detected when round holes in grain kernels are spotted, or when they feel damp.
