Worms in speckled trt
CaN someone shed some lite on rthe subject of the worms fd in trt. Iv been down here and fishing about 4 yrs. now. when i first arrived was told they all have them (the trt) and they are not harmful to "EAT". I pick them out as throughly as possible w/o destroying the filiet. I know im still eating some worms. Any info will be more than I have now. Thanks

Re: Worms in speckled trt
The worms are an intermediate stage of a tapeworm that can only develop in a shark. Shark sheds eggs, egg gets into shrimp, trout eats shrimp, intermediate worm grows in trout, shark eats trout, worm develops to maturity and the cycle begins again. The worm can't grow in people. I still cut them out tho, kinda pops like a big zit.
