in the golden autumn season, it’s the right time to enjoy crabs.

but there are also people who suffer from bad health.

recently, a man from guangdong named xiao xie (pseudonym)

just because i ate seven crabs in a row,

he "dazzled" himself directly into the icu!

man admitted to icu after eating seven crabs in a row

according to xiao xie, after eating seven crabs in one go that night, he began to experience abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms. after taking painkillers on his own, his symptoms worsened, and his family sent him to the hospital. subsequently, xiao xie was diagnosed with severe acute pancreatitis and transferred to icu for rescue.

it is understood that xiao xie is overweight, often works overtime and has little time to exercise. he likes to drink drinks, coffee and eat fast food.

due to long-term bad eating and living habits, he has long had problems such as hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia. this time i ate a lot of crab roe and crab paste, which was like a fuse, leading to severe acute pancreatitis. fortunately, the rescue was timely and xiao xie was saved from danger.

in fact, at this time of year, many people "eat" themselves into the hospital due to excessive consumption of crabs.

why eating too much crab can easily cause pancreatitis?

the pancreatic juice secreted by the human body contains enzymes for digesting proteins and fats, and crab roe and crab paste have high cholesterol content. excessive consumption can easily lead to a large amount of pancreatic juice secretion. if the pancreatic duct drainage is not smooth, causing obstacles to the excretion of digestive enzymes, it will causes severe acute pancreatitis.

acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory reaction in which pancreatic enzymes are activated in the pancreas due to various causes, causing autodigestion, edema, hemorrhage and even necrosis of pancreatic tissue. it mostly occurs in young adults.the disease generally manifests as sudden upper and middle abdominal pain and abdominal distension, which can radiate to the shoulders and back, and can be accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, fever, jaundice, and even shock in severe cases. it must not be taken lightly.

therefore, it is recommended that depending on the size of the crab,it is advisable to consume 1-3 pieces each time.

what should you pay attention to when eating crabs?

choose fresh crabs

if it is a lake crab, after the crab dies, it is easy to produce toxic substances, such as histamine, which can cause allergic reactions in the human body and may be life-threatening in severe cases. when buying crabs, look for crabs with hard and strong claws, quick eye reactions, and strong vitality.

avoid eating raw crabs

many people pursue the deliciousness of "raw pickled" crabs, but ignore the risks. no matter how long crabs are marinated in high-strength wine, mustard, soy sauce, vinegar and other seasonings, parasites and bacteria cannot be killed. eating crabs raw and then drinking spirits, white vinegar, etc. will not have the effect of killing insects and sterilizing them. therefore, when eating crabs, they must be cooked and thoroughly cooked.

processed crabs should be separated from raw and cooked

crabs contain many bacteria, such as vibrio parahaemolyticus, vibrio vulnificus, etc. among them, vibrio parahaemolyticus is tenacious and can survive on rags and chopping boards for more than a month. eating food contaminated with vibrio parahaemolyticus can cause food poisoning, causing severe abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, etc.

therefore, when processing crabs, raw and cooked crabs must be separated, and items such as cutting boards that have come into contact with raw crabs must be cleaned and disinfected in time to avoid cross-contamination.

these types of people should eat less crabs

pregnant woman

although there is no scientific basis for the statement that "pregnant women eating crabs will cause miscarriage", you should eat crabs in moderation, not to mention "raw pickled" crabs to avoid being infected with parasites and endangering the health of pregnant women and fetuses.

patients with digestive system diseases, cardiovascular diseases, liver and kidney diseases

crabs are rich in protein and cholesterol. eating a large amount of crabs is difficult to digest and can easily aggravate the condition.

people with allergies

crab is one of the main foods that cause food-borne allergic reactions. people with allergies may develop symptoms such as rash, itching, coughing, and asthma after eating it.

gout patients

crab has a high purine content, and excessive consumption may lead to elevated blood uric acid levels, thereby aggravating gout.

patients with fever, cold and diarrhea

excessive consumption of crabs by these patients can easily irritate the stomach and cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting, which is not conducive to recovery.

infants and the elderly

the elderly and children have poor digestive system absorption capabilities and should not eat more crabs.
