Fushou snails can't be eaten.

In 2006, a hot Sichuan restaurant in Beijing launched a dish: cold snail meat. The dish was made of conch, which should be cooked in boiling water for 20 minutes, but the chef only cooked it for 3 to 5 minutes. 160 people were infected with the Guangzhou tubular nematode after eating the dish. The incident was a national sensation, and that restaurant ended up losing more than 23 million yuan.

30% of the patients appear limb sensory loss, mild to complete paralysis. Seriously, snails can't be eaten indiscriminately, and many of them come with bacterial nematodes that are scary. Fukushou snails are similar to field snails, but there are differences in shape, color and size.

The shell color of the Fukushou snail is lighter than the general snail, yellowish-brown, while the snail is greenish-brown; the snail's vertebral tail is long and pointed, while the Fukushou snail's vertebral tail is flat and short; the snail's cap is more rounded in shape, while the Fukushou snail's cap is flattened.

The Fukushou snail, a mollusk of the genus Bottle Snail of the family Bottle Snail, is extremely similar in appearance to the field snail, with a large body, a wide range of food habits, strong adaptability, fast growth and reproduction, and high yield. Consumption of under-heated snails may cause infection by parasites such as the Guangzhou tubular nematode, which was introduced to China in 1981 and is now listed as one of China's first invasive alien species.

Consumption of insufficiently heated Fukushu snails may cause infection by parasites such as the Guangzhou tubular nematode in the human body. Consumption of raw or insufficiently heated snails can be infected, causing headache, fever, stiff neck and other symptoms, and in severe cases, can lead to dementia, or even death.
