Today's PSA: Gas Station Sushi is a Bad Idea
-
Especially if it's 5 days old:
A woman suffered hallucinations, insomnia and incontinence for months after she ate five-day-old sushi from a service station.
Medics treating the woman, a 34-year-old only identified as ‘JC’, were left bamboozled as to what was causing her illness - until they eventually discovered the problem living in her gut.
A giant tapeworm had been lurking in her stomach for nine months.
Her symptoms started after she arrived home late from work and realised she hadn’t eaten all day.
Starving and with no restaurants open to order from, JC opened the fridge and spotted some sushi she’d bought five days ago from a service station, according to medical professor and YouTuber, ChubbyEmu.
“The fish did taste a little sour but she just put soy sauce on it to mask it out … the five-day-old sushi was so uneventful she didn’t even remember eating it,” ChubbyEmu said.
JC spent months suffering with malnutrition,incontinence, sleepless nights, anxiety, and hallucinations of bugs crawling up the walls and underneath her skin.
It began with insomnia, with the sleepless nights leaving her anxious and confused and feeling like her heart was “beating out of her neck”.
Around the same time, JC started having stomach cramps, feeling her stomach jiggle and shake before she went to the toilet.
