Doctors warn: “Limit eating these 4 foods immediately, they contain a lot of parasites.”
Some foods contain parasites that can’t be removed by washing or even cooking. If consumed, they can be harmful to health. While many people focus on hygiene, they may unknowingly eat foods carrying parasites. Here are four foods to be cautious of:
1. **Sashimi** – “There are too many liver flukes in sashimi, which if not cleaned will be harmful to the human body.” Since sashimi is eaten raw, it poses a high risk of parasite infection.
2. **Snails** – “The parasites in snails need to be removed by high temperature.” Many restaurants use quick stir-frying, which may not kill parasites. It’s safer to cook them at home at high temperatures.
3. **Water Chestnuts** – “In water chestnuts, there is a parasite called ginger bugs.” Always wash, dry, and cook them thoroughly before eating.
4. **Steak** – “A piece of undercooked steak that is still red cannot k-il-l the parasites inside.” Medium-rare steak may still contain parasites, making it a health risk.
For safety, cook these foods properly or avoid them altogether. “Health is more important than deliciousness.”
