depends how big the worm,a lot of times if it's the bigger size the lime juice just aggravates it out and on to your plate.i know this from personal expierence

Nope, lime juice doesn't do much to kill parasites. Even freezing the fish in your home freezer won't kill parasites.  Only flash freezing kills the critters per the FDA.

On the plus side, the body does a pretty good job of killing parasites that make it to the gut within a day or two. And, eating sushi with booze and wasabi helps kill 'em too.  If you're a healthy adult, the risk is low for getting sick.

If your Immune suppressed No Raw fish for you.

Not true.  -4F for 7 days.  Although note that not all home freezers get that low, especially the ones integrated into your fridge.  Your chest freezer may.  Mine does.

Freezing and storing at an ambient temperature
of -4°F (-20°C) or below for 7 days (total time),
or freezing at an ambient temperature of -31°F
(-35°C) or below until solid and storing at an
ambient temperature of -31°F (-35°C) or below for
15 hours, or freezing at an ambient temperature of
-31°F (-35°C) or below until solid and storing at an
ambient temperature of -4°F (-20°C) or below for
24 hours are suficient to kill parasites. Note that
these conditions may not be suitable for freezing
particularly large ish (e.g., thicker than 6 inches).

Must be a quality chest freezer you've got there. Must have paid a lot for it !
