Seafood is rich in nutrients and not easy to gain weight after eating, making it very popular among people. In order to eat safe and hygienic seafood, in addition to selecting fresh seafood, it is also important to clean the seafood thoroughly and use proper cleaning methods. So, when cleaning crabs, is it toxic for pregnant women to get caught by crabs?
The seafood crabs sold on the market are not toxic animals themselves. During the cleaning process, crabs do not release toxins to prevent them from biting people. But crabs come from both wild and freshwater aquaculture, and in this growing environment, they inevitably carry certain bacteria. There are many dirty things inside and on the surface, some of which are invisible to the naked eye.
Pregnant women have lower resistance than usual, so they will not be poisoned when caught by crabs. However, the wound is inevitably infected by bacteria, so it is necessary to clean and disinfect the wound in a timely manner to avoid infection. If the wound area is large and deep, it should be avoided in an anaerobic environment to prevent the occurrence of tetanus.
There are still many taboos when eating crabs, such as not eating dead crabs. After the crab dies, bacteria will multiply into the crab meat, and eating them can cause digestive diseases such as diarrhea. Crabs cannot be eaten raw as they are susceptible to parasitic infections. Overnight crab should not be eaten as it can easily lead to histamine poisoning.
In addition, crabs' gills, intestines, stomach, and hexagonal plates cannot be eaten. After eating crabs, it is not advisable to drink tea immediately or eat them together with persimmons as it can cause indigestion. Pregnant women should pay more attention to the above, and in addition, they should eat seafood such as crabs in moderation.
