The patient claimed to eat salmon sashimi every day.

An avid sushi fan made a trip to the Community Regional Medical Center (CRMC) in Fresno, California, after discovering a tapeworm coming out of his body when using the bathroom.

Dr. Kenny Bahn, who works at CRMC, shared the story of his sushi-loving patient Jan. 8 on "This Won't Hurt A Bit," a medical podcast. In an episode titled "Parasites," Bahn said that the young Asian male claimed to have suffered from blood-filled diarrhea before saying: "I really want to get treated for worms."

The patient informed the doctor that assumed his "guts were coming out" of his bottom, which led the man to believe he was dying. The long worm began to move after he pulled at it, however. Although the man continued to pull on the worm before eventually reaching its end, he still wasn't positive that he had retrieved the parasite's entire body.
