In response to the more general question: Yes, one must be quite careful
of much raw seafood.  Many of our friends from the sea carry various 
parasites in various developmental stages that can be very harmful to
people.  I took a couple of courses in parasitic diseases as an undergrad
and if anyone expresses interest I could look up the details (though I'm
not sure whether net.cooks is the place for it...) but I do know that
raw fish, shellfish, and SNAILS are things to be somewhat wary of.
