Why can't you eat clam sea rainbow in the near future? Because from May to August every year, there will be a red tide along the coast of Hebei Province, which will contain a lot of toxic algae. After eating this toxic algae, the toxins will gradually accumulate in shellfish such as wild clam sea rainbow along the coast. If people eat too much of these toxic clam sea rainbow, it will lead to food poisoning, which will cause various poisoning symptoms and endanger their health, so it is risky to eat wild seafood and shellfish in the near future. In recent months, at the peak of red tide outbreak, consumers are prone to eating wild shellfish poisoning incidents. It is best not to buy and catch wild shellfish. Even if you eat other shellfish seafood, you should pay attention to removing its internal organs first, and it is not appropriate to eat too much.
Wild shellfish toxins are difficult to kill. Of course, wild shellfish such as Haihong and Scapharca subcrenata are not toxic, but after they eat toxic algae in the red tide, toxins will accumulate more and more in their bodies, and this algae toxin is colorless and tasteless, just like the invisible poison that can kill people in martial arts novels. People are poisoned without observing any abnormality in taste. Some people may think that if these shellfish are boiled more and cooked for a long time, they will be disinfected at high temperature. We can only say that we think too much about this idea of killing shellfish at high temperature, because this toxin is extremely heat-resistant, which can't be eliminated by cooking, and the paralytic shellfish toxin contained in it is not only extremely toxic, but also there is no effective detoxification method at present. Once people ingest too much of this toxin, they will suffer from mild quadriplegia and numbness of the lips, and serious respiratory paralysis will be life-threatening.
What are Scapharca subcrenata and Haihong? Scapharca subcrenata and Haihong are both seafood shellfish living on the seashore and coast, among which Scapharca subcrenata is a medium-sized shell with a shell length of 4-5 cm and 30-34 radial ribs on the shell surface, which is one of the most commonly eaten seafood shells. Haihong, also known as mussel, is a common shellfish with a dark brown shell. After it is cooked and processed, it can be made into dried products, called mussels. Its shell is about 6 to 8 cm long, and it often grows densely on rocks near the beach, so people living by the sea can easily capture them home.
