Come over here, and I will set you free. ;)
But I do understand. I can't get myself to try sushi for real, from fear of salmonellosis. (I have tried, though, and wasn't all that impressed.)
Well, with sushi, the big problem is the sashimi. The wrong fish and you have internal parasites. That is NOT fun, trust me. I had to get treatment for that recently, and it hurt a lot.

I eat sushi/sashimi and practically raw steak all the time. I'm lucky I haven't gotten anything like e.coli or salmonella yet. Lol. I don't really like meat that's cooked too much. x__x
I think the lack of sexiness in the topic of internal parasites has made the contest itself 8 million times sexier by comparison.

Anh...
Will you marry me?
(I'm just joking, but you have to know how hard it is to find a woman who will eat sushi/sashimi and steak so rare it's all but mooing)

As long the fish is fresh and it's prepared by a professional that knows what s/he's doing, there's nothing to be worried about by eating sushi. I love sushi myself. >:3
