Why are drunken shrimps so delicious and risky?

Because shrimps are seafood, no matter what kind of seafood there is the possibility of parasites, although the possibility of parasites in deep-sea creatures is relatively small, it is not impossible, so it is good to say that they are drunk shrimps. Eat but the risk is high.

In order to test whether there is a risk of disease caused by eating drunken shrimps raw, a reporter from the Financial Media News Center of Jiangsu Radio and Television purchased a batch of drunken shrimps from the Internet, food markets and hotels to check whether there were parasites or disease-causing shrimps. microorganism.

There are 6 samples available, with prices ranging from 15 yuan to 128 yuan.

The first step is to detect parasites.

The procedure is to take out the sample and break it up with a grinder. After washing and settling with water for about 30 minutes, repeat 2-3 times until the upper water is clear, and then remove the lower sediment.

Place the sediment under a dissecting microscope to observe whether there are any substances suspected of cysticerci. If found, suck it out and look at it under a microscope.

As a result, the parasite cysticercosis was found in the first batch of freshly eaten drunken shrimps. However, according to expert judgment, the cysticerci detected this time are not common parasites.

Cysticerci can suck the human intestinal wall and stay in the human body when they grow up, invading organs and even inducing epilepsy and other diseases.

So aquatic food lovers must pay attention!

Without high-temperature cooking, even if you soak it in high-concentration white wine and pepper for a long time, it will be difficult to kill the parasites and bacteria in it. A small amount of drunken shrimp can kill parasites and bacteria with stomach acid, but excessive or long-term consumption can cause parasitic infections, which are common in many places, especially the liver and brain.

Eating seafood is a very pleasant thing, but before we do everything we like, we must make sure that it does not harm our health. Although drunken shrimp is good, we need to be careful.
