Well tell her not to eat beef,pork and chicken too and veggies as those all have worms and parasites on them cooking kills it all thats why we cook foods.

haa, funny, if you watch some of the other ones that the camera stays on for whole time no worms with the coke, not saying pork doesnt contain worms or parasites

All fish have worms in them.
Several of the previous posters are correct in their opinions on the cooking killing them.
When I was a teen and fishing around Cowichan Bay , Mill Bay area I ran into a Japanese gentleman who had been removed during WW 2 and had returned to the area and he loved to fish.
I was busy cleaning my catch when he came up and said " if you wrap the bottom fish in plastic or oil cloth and put them in root cellar or fridge overnight the worms will go to the intestines as the temperature drops , then all you have to do is fillet them and the meat is worm free"
I have done this for years and cannot recall ever finding worms in any bottom fish I have eaten.
