3 Parasitic Infections From Fish (Diphyllobothriasis, Clonorchiasis, Anisakiasis)

The video tutorial discusses three parasitic infections from consuming uncooked or undercooked fish: Diphyllobothrium Aces, Clonorchis Iasis, and Anisakiasis. It explains how these infections occur, their symptoms, and potential complications. Diphyllobothrium Aces is caused by a tapeworm leading to vitamin B12 deficiency. Clonorchis Iasis results from a liver fluke, causing liver issues. Anisakiasis is caused by multiple parasites, leading to rapid onset symptoms like gastritis and tingling throat syndrome.
