According to Chinese media such as Ningboi Evening News, a 65-year-old woman living in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, suffered more than 20 diarrhea times a day after eating soy sauce marinated crab with her family on the 6th. When I arrived at the hospital, I was so pale and confused that I couldn't even raise my hand.
The medical team diagnosed it as septic shock. This is a dangerous disease in which the blood pressure is dangerously low due to bacterial infection.
Blood tests revealed that the cause was salmonella. The bacteria are commonly found in uncooked crabs or shellfish, and can multiply quickly in the intestine, damage tissues, and penetrate into the bloodstream, causing systemic infections.
In addition to Salmonella, raw seafood such as raw marinated crab can also contain V.vulnificus bacteria, which can cause severe skin infections or sepsis, experts warned. In addition, parasites such as liver fluke, lung fluke, and anisakis can be included, causing abdominal pain to life-threatening diseases.
Accordingly, he emphasized that high-risk groups such as patients with liver disease or diabetes, people with weak immunity, children, pregnant women, and the elderly should avoid eating raw seafood. In addition, if you want to eat raw food, it is recommended that you choose food cooked in a licensed professional restaurant.
Currently, the woman was discharged from the hospital after receiving intensive treatment, and her husband and son, who ate crab together, also showed symptoms of food poisoning and were taken to the hospital.
The husband was hospitalized with severe abdominal pain, and the son was reportedly treated with medication for relatively mild symptoms.
