Eating raw or semi-raw freshwater fish such as "sashimi" (sashimi), raw fish porridge, and sashimi is the main reason for the high incidence of liver fluke disease in many areas. The habit of eating raw fish that has been formed for a long time in some areas is difficult to change, and with the improvement of people's living standards, residents who did not eat or ate less raw fish in the past often eat large amounts of raw fish during festivals or when entertaining guests. Some restaurants and businesses in many big cities in the Pearl River Delta of Guangdong even promote "Authentic Shunde Fish Sashimi" as their signature dishes. Some provinces (districts) and individual counties even use sashimi as a means of attracting investment. There are also many residents who know that eating raw fish can cause liver fluke disease, but mistakenly believe that drinking alcohol can kill liver flukes and still eat it. Some people do not know enough about liver fluke disease and follow others' eating habits. Nowadays, the flavor of sashimi is also very popular in non-popular areas, especially in large and medium-sized cities. Due to the opening of the market, fish containing liver fluke metacercariae in endemic areas are transported to various places. Therefore, residents in non-endemic areas and large and medium-sized cities can also be infected with liver fluke disease by eating raw fish.
