Can eating drunken crabs produce parasites?
Drunken crabs are simply live crabs tied with ropes, soaked in high-alcohol and eaten raw, so eating drunk crabs is easy to produce parasites. The most common problem of eating raw animal food is infection with parasites. Common arthropods such as crabs, shrews and freshwater shrimps are important hosts of paragonimiasis. The metacercariae of Paragonimus larvae in crabs are highly infected and have strong resistance, and they can't be completely killed only by soaking them in yellow wine and white wine. Moreover, because the recipe design is not scientific enough and the storage conditions cannot be guaranteed, it is difficult to achieve the effect of sterilization and insect killing. Even if the raw materials are contaminated by parasites or bacteria, the consumers will be at risk of getting sick.
How to avoid eating crabs and getting infected with parasites
1, to avoid eating crabs infected with parasites, it is necessary to fully heat the crabs.
Neither worms nor eggs can survive for too long at high temperature. As long as the food is cooked thoroughly, it can be safely eaten. In fact, steaming crabs with garlic, vinegar and other seasonings is also very delicious. There is no need to eat drunken crabs.
2. It's ok to eat delicious drunken crabs, but we can make improvements by steaming the crabs first and then soaking them in alcohol.
Practice: Keep live crabs on water for two or three days, so as not to let them eat and let them excrete unfavorable things in their bodies. Next, steam it in a steamer. Steamed crabs can be eaten after soaking in wine, so that not only delicious crab meat can be enjoyed, but also parasites can not invade our bodies.
Harm of infection with parasites
After people are infected with parasites, they will have symptoms of indigestion, abdominal pain and diarrhea, and in severe cases, they will have symptoms of systemic allergy, high fever and pain, and even cause organ inflammation, blood loss and even death.
Eating drunken crabs is very easy to be infected with paragonimiasis, causing cough and hemoptysis. If the virus enters the brain, it will also cause paralysis.
Which foods contain parasites?
Besides crabs, shrimps and other aquatic products contain parasites, undercooked pork, beef and mutton, as well as sashimi, salad and pickles may contain parasites. Therefore, to avoid parasitic infection, we should try to avoid eating raw food.
Nowadays, it is fashionable to eat raw food and half-baked food: beware of food-borne parasitic diseases.
Food-borne parasitic diseases used to be common in rural areas or economically backward areas. Today, this is not the case. With the rapid development of animal husbandry and aquaculture and the opening of the market, food supply channels have increased, living standards and dietary patterns have diversified, and more and more citizens are eating fresh and incompletely heated food.
Nowadays, eating raw seafood and meat half-eaten has become a fashion, and barbecues and hot pots are also deeply loved, resulting in an increasing number of foodborne parasitic diseases, which have become a new "rich disease". To prevent food-borne parasitic diseases, besides eating cooked food, it is best to prepare two kitchen knives and two chopping boards at home for cutting raw cooked food, and try not to eat raw food in street shops.
In addition, when eating raw food, dipping in vinegar, mustard, wine, etc. will have a certain bactericidal effect, so the probability of infection with parasites is also smaller. Of course, these are just spices and can't kill insects. The most effective and simplest way to prevent food-borne parasitic diseases is to cook thoroughly, especially when eating hot pot and barbecue. It is necessary to cook thoroughly, and sometimes you may eat unfamiliar food inadvertently.
