It's a risk, for certain. Sushi grade fish is very fresh and then brought down to a temperature just above freezing to kill any critters like your friend here. Sushi restaurants don't want to be known for giving their patrons tapeworms, so I'm sure food safety is their absolute top priority. And, reading reviews helps in finding the best sushi places around where you live.
As far as tapeworms messing you up permanently, Okinawa has the highest life expectancy on the planet. Additionally, Japan has the largest number of centenarians on the planet. Are they living with tapeworms for decades? Maybe, but I doubt it.
Having said all that, I DO see a lot of medicine ads for stomach pain/ache.
BUT infinitely worse than sushi or sashimi is raw chicken. That shit is absolutely gross and the number of people getting sick from it is ridiculously high compared to sushi/sashimi/raw oyster eaters. I tried raw chicken once. I didn't get sick but the taste was exactly as you'd expect. It's surprising the number of raw chicken restaurants out here that flourish.
RAW chicken? That is truly disgusting. I can't believe there is such a thing as a raw chicken restaurant. I mean, WHY?



Remember, potentially deadly fugu (blowfish) is an expensive delicacy out here too. I've had that a few times (luckily never paid for it) and I haven't died yet. Really though, it's not so special a taste. Even if it weren't lethal or expensive, I'd still rather have salmon, crab, tuna, shrimp, etc. before fugu/blowfish.
And I haven't even mentioned the $800 cantaloupes for sale in department stores. No joke. But that's another story.
((Edited for word selection))

I totally agree on the raw chicken! A friend in college was an agriculture/chicken something something major that had to do with chicken processing and her stories put me off chicken for years. You could never talk me into raw. (Where's that vomit emoji when you need it, ha ha)

Other non-fish sushi...
Octopus -- ok but I can skip it.
Squid -- Cooked squid (especially deep fried) is fine but raw ---> there's a 32.4391379% chance of me choking on that. That shit doesn't go down very easily!
Sea urchin -- pretty gross
Salmon roe -- might as well just squirt any random juice down my throat and except the consequences of that
And cooked shrimp is awesome! It's one of my favorites.

I dropped ONE chopstick on the floor here at work right after opening them. This floor is beyond disgusting, never gets vacuumed. So, the five second rule doesn't apply. I let out a very audible, NOOOOOO!!!!

I've had to eat sushi with a fork a couple of times out of necessity, like you had to do today. You might as well be eating a waffle. It just isn't sushi without chopsticks.

Really though, just use your hands. Many say that the "proper" way IS to use your hands. Chopsticks are for something else:
