Hairy crab chelae refer to the small stinging hairs on the body of the hairy crab, which usually grow on the claws (pincers). The existence of chelicerae is beneficial to hairy crabs' fighting and hunting, helping hairy crabs to better grasp prey and prevent prey from escaping. In the eyes of humans, the hairy hairs are also a unique beauty of hairy crabs. Therefore, many people pay special attention to the number and length of the hairy crabs when buying hairy crabs.
In addition to being of great significance in combat and decoration, hairy crab chelae also have certain medical value. According to research, chelicerate hairs contain a natural antibacterial substance that can effectively kill a variety of germs, especially the common Staphylococcus aureus. Therefore, some people cook hairy crab chelae into soup or add them to other dishes to prevent infection and improve the body's immunity.
In general, hairy crab chelae are a very distinctive attribute that not only has aesthetic value, but can also be used for medical and health purposes. However, it should be noted that some merchants on the market now artificially implant chelae on hairy crabs to increase the selling points of their products. Therefore, when purchasing hairy crabs, you should choose formal channels and reputable merchants to protect your own rights and health.
