Will raw salmon have parasites?

Wild salmon have parasites. Therefore, eating sashimi will lead to the risk of parasitic diseases, and Japan is a country with high incidence of parasitic diseases in developed countries. However, in real life, we don't eat pure wild salmon directly.

Eating salmon after freezing at low temperature can kill parasites. Usually it can be frozen at a low temperature of about MINUS 30 degrees Celsius for about 24 hours, which is enough to kill parasites. Also, farmed salmon are generally treated with deinsectization, so there are generally no parasites (but there may be antibiotic residues).
