Re: I want to try a cleanse, but I'm terrified of parasites
You have to suffer some to kill parasites. There is something called die off. If you feel too stressed out though, just lesson dosages & go more slowly.
Sushi is a bad scene. I hope you will give it up entirely. But people have
parasites anyway, maybe just not as many as those who eat sushi.
You are just going to have to grin & bear it with killing the bugs. You are likely to see some as they die. Think of how much worse it would be, though, to get some of the awful diseases they are associated with.

Re the topic of enemas sometimes mentioned below, I am adding a personal feeling of caution about
colonics - professionally done high
colonic enemas. I have seen them really depleting people's energy, though some really like them. They do flush out a lot of good bacteria & probiotics along with the junk.
There is really no data that I know of to show that good bacteria can be replaced by over the counter supplements, or even things like acidophilus yogurt, kefir etc., after such a highly invasive wash of the intestines. (You can tell if your yogurt or kefir has live probiotics by adding a heaping tbsp. to regular milk, then letting it sit for 8 -16 hours. If it’s the real stuff the milk will thicken and give you more yogurt or kefir.) Maybe so, maybe no, but there is new info coming out that low probiotics in the gut can cause things like
Depression (see Dr. Mercola & Dr. Marsha Campbell’s Youtube vid for example) and even possibly things like autism if the mother's probiotics are too low and she doesn't pass enough onto her baby in the birth canal or through her milk.
I'm no expert on any of that, just presenting what I worry may be a potential hazard. Mho.
