(Original title: Xiamen City CDC issued health reminder: Do not eat shellfish contaminated by red tide)

Taihai Net, June 11th According to the Haixi Morning Post, seafood products such as oysters, clams and mussels are reported. Many people like to eat, but sometimes these delicious foods become “invisible killers”. A few days ago, the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention issued a health warning to guard against seafood food poisoning during the red tide.

Fujian Oceanic and Fisheries Department released the news on the 9th. At present, the sea area of ​​our province is in a period of high incidence of red tide, and Ganzhou and Quanzhou have started emergency response. Everyone should take precautions.

It is understood that when toxic red tide (red tide is toxic and non-toxic) erupts, there is a large amount of toxic algae in seawater, shellfish and snails will enrich more seaweed toxins, and the probability of poisoning will be greatly increased. If people eat shellfish and snails caught during this period, the possibility of poisoning will increase. Shellfish seaweed toxins are stable in high temperatures and acidic environments and cannot be destroyed by ordinary cooking methods. After eating, there may be food poisoning symptoms such as lips, tongue, fingertips, legs, neck numbness, and movement disorders. The incubation period is usually several minutes to several hours.

According to the staff of the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, shellfish, snails, and other seafood are particularly susceptible to the enrichment of seaweed toxins and have the highest toxicity. People often eat shellfish seafood such as mussels (barley, mussels), oysters (oysters) will also enrich toxins, compared to mussels more easily enriched toxins than oysters. Some marine organisms such as fish and shrimp also ingest seaweed, but generally they eat toxic seaweed and are poisoned. This is the reason why fish and shrimp are relatively difficult to poison.

The Municipal Center for Disease Control reminded the general public that they should not eat textured snails; the infected shellfish should not be distinguished by the freshness of appearance and taste, and should not purchase or eat fish and shellfish contaminated by red tides; Dead fish; If eating shellfish seafood products, lips, tongue numbness and weakness, headache, dizziness and other symptoms occur within a short period of time. Please go to a nearby medical institution for medical treatment immediately and tell the doctor about the history of eating.
