parasites and bacteria in Raw fish

[lysmed]

I am 13 weeks pregnant and I went to Applebees yesterday and was served an undercooked piece of tilapia, I was starving so instead of sending it back, I ate around the uncooked part, now I am worried if I am infected with a parasite or bacteria, please help, note I have no symptoms. Is my baby at risk?

I was a waitress at Applebees for a week and wuit because the kitchen was disgusting. The men who were cooking were sweating and they smelled, and it just wasn't a good enviornment.

I really don't think that any of us in the ADHD community have the expertise to answer this.
   However, Applebees is a very large (and I think good) chain.  I would assume that they have very good kitchen practices.  Tilapia has gotten some bad press lately, but it all depends on where it is farmed - or where in this case Applebees bought there fish.  See this link to snopes - http://www.snopes.com/food/warnings/tilapia.asp
  I guess you could call the manager at Applebees and see where the fish came from.
    But since you ate around the uncooked part, that should have been helpful.  And I doubt that that part of the fish was uncooked, but rather undercooked.    If the fish was a problem, then all the fish that Applebees got from that farm would be a problem and I think that you would be reading about it.
    So my guess (and it is really only a guess) is that you will be fine.  Happy Holidays.
