The small pink flower-shaped thing on the bank of the Keqiao River is the Egg of Fushou Snail This snail cannot be eaten! Contains parasites

Recently, Ms. Li found a large number of pink unknown objects near the River near the Jianshui Renjia Community in Keyan Street, with bright colors, which looked a bit like red candle oil and like small flowers from a distance. After communicating with her neighbors, she learned that this small round ball that looked like "candle oil" was actually a Fushou snail egg.

"We have received a lot of phone calls, all of which have come to consult and reflect on the situation of Fushouluo." The relevant person in charge of the district CDC told reporters, "Fushou snail is a harmful alien species, can not be eaten, I hope that everyone will seize this good period of physical removal of Fushou snail eggs." "Recently, the District Cd-operative Center has launched an investigation in the whole district, and it has been found that most of the town streets have appeared Fushou snails and Fushou snail eggs.

The reporter learned that The Fushou snail, also known as the large bottle snail, belongs to the freshwater shellfish soft body organism. Fushou snail is native to the Amazon River Basin and gradually spread to the south of China. Because of its strong reproductive ability, it is listed as one of the "100 malignant invasive alien species in the world" and is also listed in the first batch of invasive alien species in China. Fushou snail not only eats a large amount, but also bites crops such as grass seedlings and vegetables, resulting in a serious reduction in production. In the absence of natural enemies, other aquatic species can become extinct and there is a risk of destroying ecosystems.

The relevant personnel of the district CDC said that according to the conventional method, if there is a Fushou snail found in the river or in the field, it can be removed by stocking hemp ducks and water ducks. However, ducks are not allowed in the river now, and this method does not work. Fushou snail can also be removed by pesticides, but if it is in the river, if the drug is used to remove Fushou snail, it is likely to cause water pollution, so the best way now is to mobilize the whole people and launch a wide appeal, if everyone sees Fushou snail or egg at the door of the house, it should be crushed and destroyed.

Although the Fushou snail looks like a field snail, it has a parasite called Guangzhou tube roundworm in its body, and if it is not cooked, it is easy to infect Guangzhou tube strongyloid disease when eaten. The treatment of the disease is very limited in clinical practice, with only the use of anthelmintic drugs in large doses. Once the bug enters the brain, there are fewer means. Therefore, the disease is generally not too good after healing, it is very easy to cause epilepsy or meningitis, and in severe cases, it will be life-threatening. Relevant personnel of the District CDC reminded the public not to eat Fushou snails.

The District CDC also gives a method to distinguish between field snails and Fushou snails, in general, the two can be distinguished from four aspects, the shell color: Fushou snails are yellow, while field snails are bluish brown. Shape of the vertebral tail: Fushou snail vertebral tail is flat and short, while the field snail's vertebral tail is long and pointed. Screw cover shape: The screw cover of Fushou snail is flattened, while the screw cover of the field snail is relatively rounded. Meat color: The flesh of Fushou snail is lighter in color, mostly yellowish-white, while the flesh of the field snail is mostly bluish brown.
