Extended information:

Paralyzing shellfish toxins are primarily concentrated in the gut glands. Consumption of a quantity of shellfish with excessive levels of paralytic shellfish toxin from which the intestinal glands have not been removed may result in an intake of paralytic shellfish toxin in excess of an acutely toxic dose. However, if the intestinal glands are removed from the shellfish consumed, the amount of toxin ingested is significantly reduced.

Shellfish toxins are not produced by the shellfish, but from toxic algae, which can accumulate toxins in the shellfish after being filter-fed by shellfish organisms, but do not have a toxic effect on the shellfish, and people who consume these shellfish can develop symptoms such as poisoning.

In cooking, shellfish must be cooked through, high temperature will greatly reduce the foodborne risk caused by microbial contamination; avoid eating shellfish around the viscera, genitals and eggs and other blackened parts; try to minimize the frequency of consumption, the amount of a single serving should not be too much.
