It is oval in shape and varies in size
It looks like a pink "flower" from a distance
Actually, it's one
The out-and-out "femme fatale"

Don't eat indiscriminately
Because of its body
Parasitism has a large number of parasites
Although not every snail
The number of parasites is as high as 6,000
But once infected, it is extremely lethal
A longevity snail has a thousand worms
Fushou snail is native to the Americas, with strong adaptability and miscellaneous eating habits.
They are repropering in warm, humid natural environments, and adult snails can survive dormant even in harsh conditions without water and food.
In 2003, the snail was listed as one of the major dangerous agricultural invasive alien species, which is not only the "killer" of crops and aquatic organisms, but also has great lethality to human health.
There are a variety of parasites in the snail, and some experts have conducted experiments on the snail and found that there can be as many as 6,000 parasites in a snail.
One of the most famous is Angiostrongyloides cantonensis, if you accidentally eat an underripe and infected snail, the parasite will parasitize the central nervous system after entering the human body, and in severe cases, it may lead to lethargy and death. To be on the safe side, it's best not to eat it.

As the old saying goes, "Sickness comes from the mouth"
Keep away from the risk of parasitic infections
Be sure to pay attention to hygiene
Cook food thoroughly
The following foods are also available
"Dangerous elements" lurking around people
Vigilance is needed
Food is cooked and eaten, away from parasites
Parasites can inhabit key areas such as the brain, spinal cord, gastrointestinal tract, abdominal cavity and subcutaneous tissues, causing irreversible sequelae and permanent damage in severe cases.
Common ingredients such as yellow eel, crayfish, and water chestnuts are also at risk of contracting parasites if eaten uncooked.
01 Don't eat the yellow eel if it's not cooked, the jaw nematode will burrow into the eyes
Both domesticated and wild yellow eels carry nematodes. When the jaw larvae enter the human body, it will scurry around the human body like a headless fly, and the ingredients should be cooked thoroughly when eating the yellow eel.
02 Be cautious when eating crayfish, which may carry lung fluke larvae
Lung flukes parasitize shrimp and crabs, and when they enter the human body, they can cause coughing, chest pain, etc., and if they are allowed to swim to the brain, they will have neurological symptoms such as epilepsy and aphasia. It is recommended not to eat raw or semi-raw crayfish and crabs. The head of crayfish is easy to latent bacteria and parasites, so it is generally not to be eaten.
03 Don't eat water chestnuts raw, you may be infected with ginger fasciola
Aquatic plants such as water chestnuts, water chestnuts, and bamboo shoots are very easy to be infected with ginger fasciola if eaten raw, causing inflammation, bleeding and even ulcers in the intestinal mucosa. After infection in children, there will be facial swelling, developmental retardation, and mental retardation. Therefore, aquatic plants such as water chestnuts should be soaked thoroughly and then washed and cooked.
naturally
Foods that provoke parasites in life
But there are more than just a few of them
Everyone should keep this in mind when cooking
Handle raw and cooked foods separately
Food should be cooked before eating
Safety first, taste second
