Turtle meat was poisonous, causing seven people to die from food poisoning in Tanzania.

According to foreign media reports, on November 26, several villagers on a small island in Tanzania shared the turtles they had hunted. That night, a little boy was poisoned after eating turtle meat. After entering the hospital, he died that night, and three more people died the next day. So far, 7 people have died in one attack. According to the analysis of local doctors, there are two reasons for the poisoning of these people: the toxins in the turtle meat itself, and the indirect poisoning of people by the turtles eating toxic algae. These villagers probably didn't expect that a few mouthfuls of turtle meat would actually cause death. In order to avoid such incidents from happening, we can take precautions from the following three aspects:

1. The first is to put an end to eating game: First of all, eating game is a crime in our country, and we will not do anything that is illegal, so we No wild game, including turtles, is allowed. In addition, because wild animals contain more bacteria and toxins, eating wild animals is prone to food poisoning. Therefore, out of responsibility for our own health, we should not eat game. Finally, eating wild animals is easy to be infected with bacteria or viruses caused by human and animal viruses. Therefore, in order to prevent the spread and spread of infectious diseases, we should not eat wild animals.

2. When we need to eat game in an emergency, we need to handle it well: If we are trapped in the wilderness and need to eat wild animals, we need to handle the wild creatures properly, such as removing the heads and internal organs. , because the head and internal organs contain the most toxin-producing bacteria. Take this incident as an example. Sea turtles have toxin-filled algae in their stomachs. People will definitely get food poisoning if they accidentally eat it. In addition, the prey should be completely roasted before eating, because only when it is completely roasted can the bacteria be completely killed.

3. The country should severely crack down on the phenomenon of eating game: many farmhouses or villas use game as a gimmick to attract customers. Many customers lack the awareness of self-protection and easily consume. Therefore, the country should crack down on this phenomenon more severely so that the phenomenon of eating game disappears completely.
