Seafood is a common food on people’s tables. It is not only delicious, but also has high nutritional value, and is favored by many people. I believe that in the eyes of many people, this kind of "raw pickled" seafood, such as sashimi, drunken shrimps or crabs, are rare delicacies. However, recently, there have been many reports that many people have become infected with parasites due to eating this kind of seafood. In daily life, some people think that marine fish are safer than freshwater fish. In fact, this is not the case. There is still a risk of parasites in marine fish.

Relevant personnel have also tested this. Various raw foods such as drunken shrimps and drunken crabs purchased at the wet market were tested in professional laboratories and found to contain parasitic metacercariae in the drunken shrimps. To put it simply, metacercaria are the larvae of flukes. If eaten into the human body, they will be adsorbed on the intestinal wall of the body. When the larvae grow up, they may even stay in the human body and invade various internal organs. Therefore, it can be seen from here that sea fish are not safer than freshwater fish.

Usually, common parasites in our country are liver flukes in freshwater fish and Anisakis in marine fish. If you accidentally eat fish infected by parasites, the parasites will live in the body. Inside, it causes various diseases in the body. For example, cholecystitis or gallstones, no matter what kind of fish it is, if it is not properly handled and cooked thoroughly, there may be a risk of parasites.

Due to the extremely hot weather in summer, many people like to go to the beach for vacation. All kinds of seafood and aquatic products have naturally become an indispensable delicacy for people. Some people even like to eat some seafood raw. However, if the seafood is not processed properly, there are many parasites in it. For example, if you eat crayfish, sashimi, or cold snails, etc., if you eat raw or half-cooked seafood, you are likely to be infected and cause paragonimiasis, which will cause serious harm to the body. Therefore, when buying seafood, you should choose a regular shopping mall, and the temperature for cooking seafood should preferably reach 100°C and last for more than 5 minutes to completely kill these parasites.
