Thanks for the tip, Erick. I wonder how the ginger slices really get
utilized w/ their sushi? Or maybe the sushi has to be dipped in stuff
like soy sauce and/or wasabi to kill the potential parasites?

Taken from a health site for .. ahem parrots (google search), but a
lot of commentary here for

Human healthful herbs etc. etc.



GINGER-Called the "wonder drug", the ginger root is actually a rhizome
which is similar to several foods known to be consumed in the wild by
parrots. It has been used for two thousand years by the Chinese to
treat nausea and upset stomach. It is no coincidence that the Japanese
serve fresh ginger slices with sushi as insurance against the
parasites sometimes found in raw fish. Ginger is a wonderful remedy to
use with baby parrots that go through brief periods of colic or
throwing up their formula. I mix their formula in ginger tea instead
of water and the problem is solved immediately. You can make the tea
by steeping two or three slices of fresh ginger root in the water for
ten or fifteen minutes. If your parrot must travel and is prone to
motion sickness, ginger to the rescue! Add fresh ginger to the food
and drinking water several hours before the trip and put a few slices
in the carrier. Parrots seem to have an innate sense of what they need
and will munch on the ginger to "quell their queasiness" during the
trip.



Still wont get me to eat it .. bleh !!

Neither soy nor ginger will prevent parasites when eating sushi.
Ginger is used as a palate cleanser between different bites of
sushi.
