Dead crabs can't be eaten:

Dead crabs produce large amounts of Histamine. Histamine poisoning occurs when people eat dead crabs. Because histamine is an allergic poison, also known as allergic food poisoning. People who are allergic to histamine will react even to a single bite.

For example, 10 minutes to 3 hours after eating dead crabs, symptoms such as flushed cheeks, flushed skin on the chest and all over the body, congested conjunctivae of the eyes, headache, dizziness, tightness in the chest, generalized fatigue, and irritability will occur.

Never eat dead crabs. Another important cause of poisoning is bacterial infection. Generally speaking, the living environment of wild crabs is not as good as that of artificial and marine crabs. Once a crab dies, bacteria inside and outside the crab will multiply, break down the crab meat and produce toxins. Relatively speaking, the risk of bacterial infection is higher, and people are more likely to develop bacterial infections after eating them.
