I don't know about the worms specifically but I'd pass, even if they were totally cooked. I do know that fish may carry Fish Tuberculosis, which can be transmitted to humans. I have a friend that was infected via the water in his fish tank through a cut on his finger. The resulting infection was excruciatingly painful and took months of expensive antibiotic treatment to finally clear up. I'm not sure if the disease is present in fresh water fish, but it would be wise to take precautions anyway. Treat and bandage even the smallest of cuts, even with a band-aid, especially if you're working with raw meats. <br><br>Willie Vannerson<br>McHenry, IL
