The man who treats "honest and clean crab" as "bread crab" mistook crabs for poisoning.

  Hainan Daily News (Reporter Marco) Recently, a man in Haikou felt unwell after eating poisonous crabs by mistake and was rushed to Hainan Cancer Hospital for treatment.

  According to Dr. Guo, the emergency department of the hospital, the patient Mr. Zhang vomited and diarrhea when he arrived at the hospital, and he was weak, accompanied by symptoms such as numbness of his lips, dizziness and difficulty breathing. According to the medical history, it is food poisoning, but it is different from ordinary food poisoning and has more symptoms of nerve paralysis. Cheng Kai, a neurologist at the Provincial Cancer Hospital who participated in the consultation, usually likes to study all kinds of animal and plant neurotoxins. After listening to the patient’s narrative, he quickly locked in the "murderer" — — Integrity loves clean crabs. It turned out that Mr. Zhang mistook the honest and clean crab for a "bread crab" and bought it home to cook. At present, Mr. Zhang is out of danger after treatment and recuperates at home.

  Zhou Zhuocheng, chairman of the professional committee of protozoa and aquatic ecology of China Fishery Association, said that Eriocheir integrity is a crustacean belonging to the genus Eriocheir, which generally lives on the rocky seabed with a water depth of 10-30 meters and is distributed in Japan, the Philippines, Singapore, Guangdong and Hainan in Chinese mainland. Honest and clean crabs are rich in food, and some of them contain tetrodotoxin, which is the most poisonous crab.

  Zhou Zhuocheng reminded that tetrodotoxin is one of the most toxic neurotoxins found in nature, which can quickly cause nerve paralysis and cause death, and these toxins can not be decomposed at high temperature, which is as dangerous as thoroughly cooked food; At present, there is no effective antidote to tetrodotoxin, and the most effective way is not to take risks in trying out unfamiliar seafood.
