Dear MEL Topic Readers,
The dangers of eating raw fish
If you don’t eat raw or undercooked seafood, such as sushi or oysters, you may not need to worry about this article. If you do, however, it may be worth checking this out.
A Korean man was amputated his forearm because of an infection after eating raw seafood. The infection was caused by a bacterium often found in coastal ocean water. Symptoms of this kind of infection are watery diarrhea, abdominal cramping, nausea, vomiting, fever, and chills. Though patients of such infection don’t usually require medical treatment, quite a few cases are reported each year even in the US where meat is king. Also, there are risks for getting parasites and salmonella bacteria when uncooked seafood is eaten.
To avoid such risk of illness, it is recommended to heat seafood before eating.
Would you dare to eat heated sushi or “raw-oyster”?
Enjoy reading and learn the risks of eating uncooked seafood.
