Can raw aquatic products get parasitic disease

summary

Eating raw aquatic products is very common in some places. Parasitic disease is a disease caused by parasites invading human body. The pathological changes and clinical manifestations are different due to different species and parasitic sites. This kind of disease is widely distributed and can be seen all over the world, but it is more common in poor and backward areas with poor health conditions, and more in tropical and subtropical areas. Therefore, tropical diseases in a narrow sense refer to parasitic diseases. Developing countries in Africa and Asia have more cases, and the infected people are mainly working people who have more contact with the epidemic source and children with lower immunity. Can raw aquatic products get parasitic disease? What should we pay attention to?

Can raw aquatic products get parasitic disease

First, no matter what kind of animal, there are parasites in its body, the key lies in whether the food is cooked to kill the parasites. If you eat uncooked oysters or raw oysters, and there are zoonotic parasites, there is a risk of infection.

Second, when the food is cooked, be careful to prevent parasites. Under normal circumstances, some adults parasitized in the human body can be expelled by taking medicine, but once the larvae of parasites enter the brain, liver, lung or heart of the human body, it is difficult to treat them.

Third, some folk sayings about freshwater fish and shrimp and clonorchiasis are unscientific. For example, "eating crab raw and shrimp alive" is incorrect. This is mainly because there are metacercariae parasites of Clonorchis sinensis in freshwater fish and shrimp, which can cause clonorchiasis, also known as clonorchiasis hepatica. Its symptoms are like hepatitis. Therefore, freshwater fish and shrimp must be cooked and eaten. It is unscientific to eat raw fish like sashimi.
