The world may be an oyster, but you may want to make sure that you cook it first. As shown by the recent death of a man of 71 There are real risks of eating raw oysters: dead:

Oysters were apparently contaminated by Vibrio vulnificus which is considered a flesh-eating bacterium and lives in salt water

In case you are wondering, eating flesh is not a term For example, a "date of flesh consumption" would not be good Vibrio vulnificus received the nickname because after having infected an injury, the bacteria can then begin

Eating this flesh eater before he eats you will not help you, though. When you consume raw oysters or any other undercooked fish that contains Vibrio vulnificus, the result may be a gastrointestinal infection with bad watery diarrhea, as opposed to a good watery diarrhea, accompanied by fever, abdominal cramps, nausea and vomiting. If the bacteria enter your bloodstream, there can be very bad things: arterial pressures and dangerously low shocks. More than half of people with blood infections died, according to a review of data from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on 459 cases reported between 1992 and 2007. Interestingly, 85.6% of cases were men; this aspect of the infection is discussed later in this review. Of the 180 cases from 2002 to 2007, most (92.8%) had eaten raw oysters and most (95.3%) already had some sort of disease that can suppress the immune system.

Chances are that if you consume raw oysters get infected by Vibrio vulnificus . Such cases, fortunately, are quite rare. However, eating raw oysters can be like playing a slot machine where you will not like what can come out if you hit the jackpot. Other pathogens may be present. For example, at the beginning of the year, the FDA issued a norovirus warning for oysters harvested in British Columbia, Canada (specifically the southern and central parts of Baynes Sound), which ] were destroyed. According to the Public Health Agency of Canada, there were 176 cases of oyster-related gastrointestinal disorders between 1945 and 1945, including 137 in British Columbia, 14 in Alberta and 25 in Ontario. The epidemic has spread to the United States, resulting in at least 100 cases in California. As I mentioned earlier for Forbes this gastrointestinal virus can cause fairly severe nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea in up to 70% of infected individuals. So, if you are looking for an aphrodisiac and you accidentally eat an oyster contaminated with norovirus, pbadion may not be the main thing that will flow.

Can raw oysters be used as an aphrodisiac? question for another time. There are many other claims about raw oysters that have absolutely no scientific basis. For example, spicy sauce or alcohol will not kill pathogens like Vibrio or Norovirus. Avoiding oysters from polluted waters will not keep you from getting sick, even if looking for oysters in polluted water is not going to be better. You can not always tell if an oyster is safe. Oysters may look perfectly normal but still have microbes hidden there. And avoid oysters in months that do not have the letter "r" (which corresponds to the warmer summer months) will not really help.

The best way to prevent raw oyster disease is to not eat raw oysters instead. Of course, many people eat raw oysters every year without getting sick. Of course, if you are healthy, you can survive a raw oyster infection without lasting effects. But chances are you may experience longer-term consequences and even potentially die, especially if you have liver disease, diabetes, or any other condition that may weaken your immune system. .
