As the temperature rises, the holidays arrive
It's happy time for snails and beers again
But there is a kind of snail, even if you are hungry again
It's better not to eat it!
It's Fushou Snail!
A single snail has up to 6,000 parasites
Serious may be fatal!
According to statistics, there may be 3,000-6,000 parasites hidden in one Fushou snail. After the parasite enters the body, the larvae will invade the brain, damage the central nervous system, and then cause eosinophilia meningitis.
At this time, patients will have symptoms such as headache and fever, neck stiffness, etc., which can lead to shock, dementia, and even death in severe cases.
The reason why we say that Fushou snail is dangerous is for those who are not thoroughly cooked. If the snail is cooked, the parasite will also be destroyed.
However, due to its thick shell and fleshy wood, Fushou snail is prone to undercooked. Therefore, it is still recommended that you do not eat it, because you have no idea how to cook the snail thoroughly. More importantly, the taste of Fushou snails will become much worse after being thoroughly cooked, so some merchants will also take risks.

Disease control experts remind:
For Fushou snails, do not touch them easily
Native to the Americas, fushou snails were introduced to the mainland as edible economic snails in the 1980s, and quickly adapted to the local environment of the mainland, causing harm to the ecological environment of the region.
In a warm, humid natural environment, they are incredibly reproducing, and each snail can spawn in large numbers many times a year; adult snails can survive in a dormant manner even in the harsh conditions of no water and no food.

Experts such as Dai Qingming, a researcher for agricultural machinery promotion at the Agricultural and Rural Bureau of Hanshou County, Hunan Province, said that in recent years, the density of juvenile Fushou snails in rice fields with high incidence of Fushou snails can exceed 100,000 per mu. Some localities have normalized the work of killing and cleaning up Fushou snails, and the task of prevention and control is very heavy.
Liu Zhijun, a major grain grower in the emerging community of Canggang Town, Hanshou County, said: "Last year, more than 170 mu of land in my family had a Fushou snail disaster, and some rice fields could find 20 snails per square meter, and in a few days they could eat all the grass seedlings in the field. ”
At present, Fushou snail has been listed as one of the major dangerous agricultural invasive alien organisms, not only the "killer" of crops and aquatic organisms, but also has a greater lethality to human health.
And for the recent lake crawling full of crystal clear "pink flowers" do not touch, may be all the eggs of Fushou snail.
Disease control experts remind that for the Fushou snail, do not easily touch; try not to let children touch and play with the Fushou snail, there are many bacteria, viruses and parasites in the external environment. (And don't take it home to raise !!! ）
How to distinguish between Fushou snail and field snail?

Although Fushou snail and field snail look like "brothers" in appearance, there are still many differences under close inspection.
Header:
The spiral part of the adult Fushou snail is relatively small and is usually larger than the field snail.
color:
The snails are more bluish brown, while the Fushou snails are yellowish in color.
shape:
Field snails are generally oblong-conical or oval-shaped, while Fushou snails are more disc-shaped.
Shell mouth:
Field snails basically have black frame edges, while Fushou snails generally do not have black frame edges.
palate:
Compared with Fushou snail, the snail meat will taste a little more tender.
The most significant difference between the two is that the eggs of the Fushou snail are bright red or pink, and the Fushou snail must climb out of the water to lay eggs.
Most of these parasites enter from the mouth
Be careful when eating these foods
As the saying goes: the disease comes from the mouth, and the parasite is no exception, generally speaking, the reason why it is infected with parasites is actually eaten. Like what:
Eat sashimi – liver flukes
Many people love to eat sashimi, one bite at a time, but as everyone knows, these sashimi may contain a large number of parasites, the most of which is The Most Chinese Testicles, that is, liver flukes.
If the sashimi is not well sterilized, these parasites will be eaten into the stomach, causing liver fluke disease, and in severe cases, liver cirrhosis and even bile duct cell carcinoma.
Eat undercooked pork – tapeworms
The most common parasite in pork is tapeworm, if the diet is not careful, eat uncooked pork or raw pork, and the pork happens to have tapeworm, it is easy to be infected and cause tapeworm disease.
There are no obvious symptoms in the early stage of pork tapeworm disease, and as the infection time is prolonged, symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, dizziness, and weight loss may occur. If it parasitizes the brain, it can cause epilepsy or even a hernia.
Eat three-minute cooked beef – tapeworms
The main cause of infection with taeniae is due to the consumption of undercooked beef with cysticercosis.
There are many people who like to eat undercooked beef, such as steak to eat three points cooked, five points cooked, beef jerky to eat air-dried, and even barbecue restaurants to raw beef as a selling point, which will greatly increase the risk of infection with cow tapeworm. In order to ensure safety, Dr. Chen Jing of the Department of Infectious Diseases of the Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine reminded everyone that it is best to cook beef in full.
Raw yellow eel - jaw-mouth nematodes
According to the data, there are as many as 15 kinds of parasites on the yellow eel, including jaw-mouth nematodes, whether it is domestic or wild, and it is very harmful to the human body.
When the jaw-mouth nematode enters the human body, it will scurry around inside, causing different symptoms in different parts, which can seriously lead to organ perforation, bleeding and even epilepsy and paralysis.
Eat shrimp and crab raw - lung flukes
Most of the ways of human infection with lung trematodiasis are raw or semi-raw shrimp and crabs containing cysticercosis. Once infected with lung flukes, it will lead to pulmonary fluke disease, causing cough, chest pain, if the lung fluke further jumps to other organs, it will cause headaches, epilepsy, vision loss and so on.
Raw frogs, snakes – Manson's Schizothorax
There are many folk remedies that point out that raw frogs, raw snake bile, etc. can cure diseases, but the truth is that eating them will only cause diseases.
Frogs and snakes may have hidden Schizothorax mansonii in the body, this parasite will swim in the human body, wherever it goes, where there is a problem, it can also be distributed throughout the body, of which the split-brain spinal cord head lice is seriously ill and harmful.
There was a big uncle in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, who heard that raw swallowing frogs can strengthen the body, so he caught 5 frogs to eat, and then there were symptoms such as shivering, fever, fatigue, etc., and the body temperature was once burned to 40 degrees, and after examination, the doctor found that sun Dabo had schizothus mansonii in his body.
In short, parasites are very harmful to the human body, but Dr. Chen Jing said that as long as you do a good job of prevention, you can stay away from them:
▷ Avoid contact with sick animals and poultry;
▷ Develop healthy eating habits, do not eat raw or undercooked food, do not drink raw water.
▷ Keep pets carefully and vaccinate pets on time according to regulations. It should be noted that many people have begun to raise foxes, snakes, marmots and other wild animals, and the parasites, bacteria and viruses in these animals are very complex, and contact should be more careful.
