Land Lobster
The land lobster is a type of shrimp that usually lives in pond and lake environments. Due to the living conditions, this type of food often contains a lot of bacteria and is also an intermediate source for transmitting parasites.
Therefore, it is necessary to be cautious when consuming this type of shrimp. If you only cook it carelessly and eat it, you can easily encounter issues such as infection with parasites and worms, which pose a health risk.
Sashimi
Sashimi is a dish made from slices of fish (such as tuna, salmon, swordfish), eels, and octopus – all still alive and cut into bite-sized pieces. When raw seafood is the main component of the dish, it is called sashimi. However, when mixed with vinegared rice, the dish is called sushi.
In Japanese cuisine, sashimi is often the main dish and has a delicious flavor that can be addictive. However, sashimi is raw, so it often contains parasites. When consuming such raw foods, although they provide many nutrients, they also pose a risk of diseases such as liver fluke and small intestine fluke infection.
If you want to enjoy this dish, choose reputable high-quality establishments, as they usually follow special processing procedures and strict hygiene standards, ensuring a completely worry-free dining experience.
Snails
Snails often contain various parasites such as worms and flukes. Especially, snails harvested from polluted areas have an even higher risk of containing parasites. Therefore, if snails are not carefully prepared, the risk of infection with worms and flukes increases significantly.
When they invade the body, these types of parasites can parasitize in various organs, causing external symptoms such as swelling in the hands, feet, abdominal pain, fever, nausea, and diarrhea. In addition, some long-term parasitic worms in the body can pose a risk of cancer.
Frog Meat
According to research, over 60% of wild frogs contain a type of parasite called Schistocephalus. This type of parasite can be found in any part of the frog’s body, most commonly in the muscle of the legs, resembling small white grains. If you consume frogs that contain this parasite, you can become its host. Therefore, frog meat needs to be thoroughly cooked at high temperatures for at least 10 minutes.
