As temperatures rise, summer is just around the corner.
Many animals that have been dormant all winter have also come out to move, and various "game" and "river fresh" have been put on the market.
Although river fresh and game are delicious, they are also very risky if you do not pay attention.
The editor must remind you that your snail may also be "hiding" you!
There is a kind of river fresh, you may eat 6,000 parasites in one bite, are you still eating? It is a Fushou snail that looks very similar to the field snail.
01
Inside a Fushou snail
There are up to 6,000 parasites
According to statistics, a snail may harbor 3000-6000 parasites.
After the parasite enters the body, the larvae invade the brain, damage the central nervous system, and cause eosinophilic meningitis.
At this time, the patient will have symptoms such as headache, fever, neck stiffness, etc., which can lead to shock, dementia, and even death in severe cases.
Chief physician Zhu Qin, director of the Department of Nutrition of Zhejiang Hospital, said that the reason why we say that Fushou snails are dangerous is for those Fushou snails that are not thoroughly cooked.
If the snail is cooked, the parasite will be eliminated.
But it is still recommended that you do not eat it, because you don't know how Fushou snails are thoroughly cooked.
What's more, the taste of Fushou snails will deteriorate a lot after being thoroughly cooked, so some merchants will also take risks.
