Consuming sea rainbows and snails with excessive levels of toxins may cause dizziness, numbness and vomiting. Sea rainbows and snails are seafood that appear on the dinner table from time to time, but in recent times there have been a number of warnings issued about the consumption of these two types of aquatic products in a number of places. The warnings issued by these places show that it is better not to eat sea rainbow and snail to avoid poisoning. The reason why these two small seafood products have been listed as inedible in recent times is that they contain more toxins.

The toxins in sea rainbows and snails don't always remain high, but only in stages. The sea rainbow's toxin levels usually only exceed safe levels between March and June, while the snail's toxicity is at high risk between April and September. The reason for the phasing of the toxins in sea rainbows and snails is related to their food. Both species normally feed mainly on algae, and some of the algae in seawater are toxic.

Every year in late March, the algae in the sea begin to grow faster because of the warmer weather, and the amount of toxic algae becomes larger. In this case, the amount of toxic algae that the sea rainbow and the snail feed on will also increase. As a result, the toxins in their bodies will accumulate and exceed the safe level due to the increase in the amount of toxic algae consumed. As the toxin level exceeds the safe level, it is easy to cause poisoning once consumed. After consuming sea rainbows and snails with excessive levels of toxins, toxic reactions may include numbness in the mouth and tongue, hands and feet, dizziness and nausea, as well as skin rashes.

The toxins in sea rainbows and snails are shellfish toxins, which can be divided into four types, one of which is paralytic shellfish toxins. This type of shellfish toxin is the most common and also the most harmful. In addition, the other three types of shellfish toxins are diarrhea, neurological and amnesia. There are no specific drugs for these four types of shellfish toxins, so it is best not to consume sea rainbows and snails at this time to avoid jeopardizing your health and safety. After the warning has been lifted, you can once again consume sea bream and snails with confidence.

In fact, there are a lot of things to keep in mind when consuming seafood, such as sea bream and snails, after all, not all of us are suitable for eating seafood. In addition to those who are allergic to seafood to eat less, or even do not eat seafood, high blood fat people, gout people, liver and kidney function is not good, as well as blood clotting dysfunction of people should not eat too much seafood.
