Follow up questions. When the parasites die from being frozen, aren’t we still digesting the corpses/remains? I’m guessing they just wash it afterwards?

Yes you're still eating the parasites but they're dead.

Yeah. You pretty much are when you eat any fish and many other cases with pretty much every type of meat.

Bruh, you just got the image of the mosquito burger to flash into my head. I would rather have forgotten that forever.

So yeah, now you know that's a thing too.

Yes you are but they are in such a low quantity at that point that its not usually harmful. That is way it is imperative to always buy from a reputable seller and to make sure that the food is consistently treated properly and kept within good temperature ranges.

The problem with parasites is that they’ll infect you too if they’re alive
