Raw fish, also known as sashimi, is one of the specialties of Shunde, raw fish fillets into slices, with oil, salt soy sauce and other spices and a variety of ingredients side dishes, mixed well can be eaten directly. A "Taste of Shunde" makes Yusheng known to more people, so many tourists will try to punch in Shunde, and I am no exception.
But after eating it, I regret it, I respect the food customs of each place, but at the same time I also advise foreign tourists not to try it easily, or at least know the stakes before deciding whether to try.
This kind of fish raw in Shunde is different from the salmon that we usually see, salmon and other sushi use deep-sea fish, and the parasites will be relatively small, while many shunde fish are freshwater fish, such as grass carp.
When I ate it, I was thinking, this thing is made of freshwater fish, will there be parasites, but I didn't think too much at the time, after all, this is Shunde's special food, and so many people come to eat, but who can think that the local specialties recommended by so many people will be so high-risk to eat!
After eating that night, I inadvertently checked, saw some cases of liver flukes on the Internet, and the whole person was not good in an instant, and I didn't expect to overturn in Shunde after traveling for so long.
Freshwater fish raw this way of eating is very unsafe, but I ignored this common sense, everywhere on the Internet can be found in doctors or medical institutions of science, because it is freshwater fish, raw eating is very likely to infect parasites, that is, liver flukes.
Guangdong and Shunde, because of the habit of loving to eat fish, but also led to these places have become the hardest hit areas of liver flukes, 2001-2004, the Ministry of Health organized the second national human important parasitic disease status survey, in China's 27 provinces and cities to conduct a sample survey of residents. The survey found that nearly 2.4% of residents in China were infected with liver flukes, the most serious of which was Guangdong Province, accounting for half of the national sampling data at that time, and among them, Shunde, Guangdong was the most, with an infection rate of 50.74%.
Am I talking nonsense about 50%? Of course not, there are many medical reports on the Internet about fish and parasites, Director Yu Yihai of Southern Medical University once worked with the Guangdong Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention to do an epidemiological survey of liver flukes in Shunde, Guangdong Province, 2014-2015, and the report shows that until 2014, the infection rate of liver flukes in Shunde was as high as 42%, and even higher in the early years.
I did not disrespect the local food of Shunde, the locals like to eat, there is a tradition of eating, it is a local affair, others have no right to interfere.
I am not posting this article for locals who like to eat raw fish, but for tourists who have been or plan to go to Shunde, with the intention of reminding tourists
1. Freshwater fish raw and deep-sea fish raw are not the same, the probability of infection with parasites and liver flukes is many times greater, if the fish you eat really carry parasites, then it is not impossible to be hit once.
2. The most important point, and what I want to say the most: the locals are very clear that fish raw may be infected with parasites, will regularly take medicine to fight insects, do physical examinations will also generally check related items, it is said that the local can also receive free insecticides, but tourists will not regularly fight insects, will not do related physical examinations, and even some like me, before going with the wind to eat, it is not clear that fish will have parasites, which is the problem.
3. Look at the descriptions of some of the tourists recruited, you will also find that outsiders do not know enough about fish raw, after the onset of the disease will not take the initiative to inform the doctor that they have eaten fish raw, the original mild liver fluke is not difficult to treat the disease, but once the tourists are recruited, they have to spend more time to diagnose, which is the reason why I do not recommend tourists to eat.
4. While eating raw fish while drinking liquor can not eliminate parasites, mustard, oil, onion and garlic the same reason, now the online information is very developed, but if you go to check it, you can know, people with this idea I really advise you to read more, do not have common sense and mislead others.
Eat or not to eat, are their own decisions, there are many Cantonese people also refuse freshwater fish raw, there are also many old food would rather take risks, every year to deworm also eat, this is everyone's freedom, I just want to remind people who do not understand. The danger of eating freshwater fish raw infection with liver flukes is objectively existent and medical common sense, and the purpose of my writing this article is to make the risk transparent so that tourists can make a clear choice, rather than eating with the wind without thinking much as I did at the beginning.
Just like chewing betel nut causes oral cancer, you love to eat yourself and no one cares, but if you run to attack people who say that betel nut is harmful, then I think it is either stupid or bad.
In the content I posted before, many friends commented that people who often eat raw fish around them have liver flukes, and some people will raise the bar to say that they and the people around them have not eaten for many years, first of all, many locals are regularly taking medicine to deworm, but tourists are different. Second, when it is not serious, the reaction may not be obvious, I think it is better to say something similar after the physical examination, and third, there is a word called survivor bias, just like it is not possible to say that smoking does not harm health because a centenarian smokes.
This article is not black Shunde, I believe that most people can see it with clear eyes, I just kindly remind tourists and popular science, Shunde has a lot of food, raw fish is only one of the characteristics here, or that sentence, you love to eat is your right, but as a travel blogger, I hope to more people who do not understand this matter.
As for the follow-up of me eating raw fish, after understanding this risk, I went to the pharmacy to buy intestinal worm clearance, some people said that it was not long before eating intestinal worm qing, and some people said that this drug was completely useless, whether useful or not, the next physical examination, I think it is necessary to check it.
