Preface//
Australia is a country with very rich aquatic resources,
This advantage makes Australian Chinese friends
Be able to feast on it.
All kinds of sashimi are the favorite of many Chinese,
The sweet and tender texture is addictive.
But just recently,
A Chinese man is greedy for a while,
Almost killed!
1, are the disaster caused by sashimi
Speaking of "sashimi",
You must be the first to think of it
Salmon, lobster, Arctic shellfish and other marine raw materials;
But in china,
Some sashimi lovers are "not rejected",
Mr. Lin is one of them.
In August this year, Mr. Lin, who lives in Fuzhou, suddenly and inexplicably began to have a high fever, and his body temperature has been hovering around 39 °C, and even exceeded 40 °C at the highest time.
Because Mr. Lin himself was studying medicine, he did not think so at first, took some anti-fever drugs by himself, and rested for two days. But unexpectedly, the high fever not only did not go away, but the disease gradually increased - there was a cough of white sputum.
At this time, Mr. Lin realized that he may not be a common cold, so he immediately went to the hospital to register his number. Doctors gave him a chest CT scan, which showed a little chronic inflammation in his right lower lung and a small amount of fluid in his right chest.

But the doctor told him that the pneumonia was not very serious, don't worry too much, go back to take medicine and rest for a few days.
In this way, Mr. Lin took the medicine home to recuperate, but he did not expect that after the medication, the high fever still did not go away, and the cough became more and more serious. He gradually realized that he might have a serious "strange disease".
Mr. Lin came to the hospital again and did a blood routine examination, which surprised him:
Blood eosinophils
The proportion is as high as 27%!
Seeing the results of this examination, he did not hesitate to immediately contact the respiratory specialist of the provincial hospital. After learning about his condition and the examination report, the specialist told him:
"You're right.
This is no ordinary pneumonia and fever.
In general, blood eosinophils
The number suddenly increased,
All are associated with parasitic infections! ”
The expert asked about Mr. Lin's living habits and recent diet: "Is there a history of raw food?" ”
Until this moment, Mr. Lin did not know why he was infected with a "strange disease". He recalled that he had eaten sashimi a month before the onset of the disease, and it was a local dish recommended by a friend, "Teochew Fish Raw", which was made with fresh grass carp and tilapia.
(Teochew fish raw with celery, sesame oil, garlic, ginger shredded and other condiments)
He said that this kind of raw fish is very famous in the local area, as thin as cicada wings, fresh and sweet, and the price is very affordable, much cheaper than the seafood sashimi in Japanese food stores, so he and his friends are full of praise for this "freshwater sashimi".
After listening to him, the doctor was almost able to determine the cause of his illness - probably related to liver fluke disease, and suggested that Mr. Lin go to a parasite test.
Sure enough, the inspection report showed:
Mr. Lin was detected in a fecal specimen
Chordyristic liver fluke eggs,
That is, liver fluke disease!
What is hepatic fluke disease?
Hepatic flukes, also known as Chodyristic flukes, are adult parasitic in the liver and bile ducts of humans and can cause hepatic fluke disease. Clinically, it is characterized by dysregulation, diarrhea, epigastric discomfort, hepatomegaly, and eosinophilia.
The incubation period of hepatic fluke disease is about 1 month, mild infection is often without obvious symptoms, only eggs are found in the patient's feces, and a few have mild epigastric discomfort, diarrhea and so on.
In addition to gastrointestinal symptoms such as loss of appetite, diarrhea, and bloating, there are often symptoms of nervous breakdown such as palpitations, insomnia, and dizziness, and can eventually develop into lifelong diseases such as cirrhosis.
(Sick lungs caused by hepatic fluke disease)
For the sake of satisfying the appetite for a while,
Almost fell into a lifelong illness,
Mr. Lin was afraid to think about it.
Fortunately, he is more sensitive to blood routine data, if he changes ordinary people, mistakenly thinks that it is a common cold fever, delaying the disease, the consequences are unimaginable...
The expert, who has been practicing medicine for 40 years, said that this terrible liver fluke disease is most likely to be recruited by those who love sashimi. No matter how clean the fish, snails, frogs in these freshwater fishes look and how delicious they taste...
Be sure to cook thoroughly before eating!
Do not covet the freshness of the taste of food,
Unauthorized raw food!
2. Is Australian sashimi safe?
See here,
Surely someone will say:
"The sashimi I eat in Australia is all marine fish.
Don't you have to worry about parasites? ”
The answer is no.
Earlier this year, a fisherman in Western Australia released a video that dissuaded countless sashimi enthusiasts!
(Image source: Daily Mail)
The fisherman caught a huge king fish off the coast of Rottnest Island in Western Australia, but when he cut open the belly of the fish and tasted the freshest sashimi, he saw this disgusting scene:
Eight dark pink, slender and long parasites squirm briskly inside the salmon!
After a few pokes with plastic rolling, I found that
These bugs squirm even more intensely!
The fisherman issued a warning to the whole of Australia: "Raw fish cannot be bought casually, let alone eaten casually!" It's not the first time I've encountered this kind of thing, and it's already common in our place..."
He said that in recent years, roundworms and nematodes have often been found in fish and seafood caught in the local area, and some people in Australia have been deeply affected.
Australian sister Carly Goff was only 17 years old at the time, because she accidentally ate a seafood that was not cooked, and has been suffering from parasites for 6 years since then!
(Image source: 7 News)
She said: "I feel nauseous every day, my whole body hurts so much, my face and feet hurt like I was splashed with sulfuric acid. ”
During these 6 years, she was completely unable to live like a normal person, because the various organs of her body could cause severe pain at any time, and she ran to many hospitals around the world, and the doctors could not say why.
Eventually, the hospital finally found out,
It turned out that she was infected with jaw-mouth nematode disease,
Also known as visceral jaw-mouth nematode disease!
Intense pain,
It's the parasite that swims inside her,
Caused by the tearing of the organs...
In mid-August last year, a Chinese girl who was traveling to Japan, a "salmon country", bought a fresh sashimi at a Japanese supermarket and prepared to go back to enjoy it.
However, after going back, she was about to open the sashimi to eat, but found that there was something moving inside the preservation box!?
One similar event after another shows us:
Be careful when eating sashimi such as salmon raw!
Even the Australian environment is good, food safety and cleanliness in the sea salmon and other fresh fish may not be spared,
Coupled with some wrong perceptions, it has led to many people dying of illness:
Many people think that seawater is highly salinity, so seawater can kill parasites, which is actually not entirely true.
Spices such as vinegar and mustard also don't help kill parasites in sashimi.
Therefore, when eating sashimi such as salmon, you must be careful and choose a regular supermarket to buy seafood from a clear source that can be eaten raw.
At last
We would like to reiterate the doctor's advice again: in order to eliminate the parasite, please be sure to handle the seafood thoroughly, do not eat it raw!
Otherwise, it is light diarrhea and fever, heavy is long-term damage to health, and even life-threatening...
In the absence of security, it is still more cautious and less greedy.
After all
Delicious and precious, the price of life is higher!
