Eating raw carnivorous fish, shrimp and crab is prone to food-borne parasitic diseases. Some people like to eat raw food because of regional differences. Second, eating raw food can retain the nutrients of the food itself. Third, it is related to people's curiosity about new things.

On September 16, the National Health and Wellness Committee held a press conference. Director of the Institute of Parasitic Diseases of the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention pointed out that food-borne parasitic diseases are all caused by eating raw food, such as eating raw fish, shrimp and pork, which may lead to liver fluke disease, and once they get sick, they will increase the economic burden. But according to the current data, there are still many people who have the habit of eating raw food. Why?

First, local differences. Generally speaking, southerners have no habit of eating raw food, mainly in some coastal cities, such as Guangzhou and Shanghai. These places are rich in seafood, so people here also keep the habit of eating seafood raw. They usually eat directly with seafood dipping sauce, because they have been eating like this for so many years, so they don't think it is harmful to their health.

Second, raw food can retain the original nutritional components of food. In many people's subconscious, eating raw food has higher nutritional value, because it will not destroy the nutritional components of the food itself and will not let the nutritional components lose. But in fact, many foods contain some kind of bacteria. If bacteria are not killed during cooking, they will destroy our defense system and make us sick.

Third, people's curiosity about new things. In fact, many people know that eating raw seafood is harmful to health, but they still try it with curiosity, because some people think it is novel and advanced to eat seafood in this way, but not everyone can stand the taste of seafood, so try not to eat raw seafood or other foods. Once you find that you are really infected with liver fluke disease, you must carry out insect repellent treatment in time to avoid further harm, especially to avoid the occurrence of cholangiocarcinoma.
