Weaving snail, commonly known as conch, sea lion snail, wheat snail or white snail. The tail tip is slender, about 1 cm long and about 0.5 cm wide, mainly distributed in the coastal areas of Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong.

The main cause of conch poisoning is tetrodotoxin, which can cause dizziness, vomiting, numbness of lips and fingers and other poisoning symptoms after eating. The incubation period is as short as 5 minutes and as long as 4 hours. At present, there is no specific medicine to treat and detoxify snail poisoning. The Ministry of Health announced that no food production and business operation entity may purchase, process and sell conch.

The masses should raise their awareness of self-protection and not buy and eat conch. After eating by mistake, if you have symptoms similar to nervous system poisoning such as numbness of your lips, you should go to the hospital immediately.
