The eel parasite can be killed by high temperature. Although the parasite has a strong reproduction ability, it is not resistant to high temperature and will be killed quickly under high temperature. Before eating eel, be sure to put it in a pot and heat it thoroughly to kill the parasites before eating it.

The eel parasites are small worms that invade the eel's body during its growth process and multiply rapidly after entering the eel's body. There is no way to completely eradicate them, so you have to heat them thoroughly.

When cleaning eels, it is recommended to wear rubber gloves, which can prevent the parasites in the eel body from infecting the body through the breaks in the skin, so it is not recommended to kill eels directly with bare hands.
