Fish can have parasites inside the meat as well (which is why sushi-grade fish is frozen to -20C first). Same for pork, but I believe that's rare nowadays (I hope; I cook it to medium-rare sous-vide and sear just the outside)... You are more likely to get sick from pathogens on vegetables, but the ones found on meat are more likely to kill you 😬

Yeah, in fact the Modernist Cuisine book includes a photo of a worm found inside a piece of sushi purchased at the Pike Place Fish Market. Ugh!
