Why are the snails poisonous and the snails will be poisoned?

Textured snails commonly known as sea snail, sea lion snail, snail, small yellow snail, etc., prolific in the southern coastal areas, most of the weaving snails are toxic, it is best not to eat, the following to learn more about it!

Why is the textured snail toxic

Relevant data show that the textured snails themselves are non-toxic and their fatal toxicity is obtained in the growth environment. They are poisoned due to ingestion of poisonous algae, enrichment and accumulation of algal toxins, and are collected during the growth process. Some neurotoxic anesthetics of toxic algae.

In recent years, seawater eutrophication has occurred due to the large-scale discharge of marine aquaculture, industrial waste, and domestic sewage, and the occurrence of red tides has frequently occurred in different seasons in the South China Sea, East China Sea, Bohai Sea, and Yellow Sea. Some of the algal blooms that multiply in red tides can produce toxins, which are poisoned by ingestion of toxic algae, enrichment and accumulation of algal toxins, or other toxic substances such as tetrodotoxin. The main toxins causing food poisoning in the snails are paralytic shellfish toxins. Similar to puffer fish toxins, poisoning patients have major neuroparalysis symptoms and have a high mortality rate.

As the marine environment is contaminated, “red tide” frequently occurs, and the toxicity of “Shifangha toxin” in the body of the snails is greatly increased. After testing, the oral lethal dose of the toxin to the human body is 0.54-0.9 milligrams. A small snail is likely to cause death.

Because it contains “Shifangha toxin” in its body, it is poisoned by nerve conduction interruptions and can cause symptoms of dizziness, vomiting, numbness of lips and fingers, etc. The minimum incubation period is 5 minutes and the longest is 4 hour.

Is eating snails poisoned?

The majority of species of the snails are poisonous and the principle of toxicity is complex. People should be cautious when eating.

Textured snail features: The tail is more pointed and slender, about 1 cm in length, about 0.5 cm in width, and about the size of the fingernail cover. "It is strange to say that most of the weave snails contain toxins in their stomachs, but the 'haiguazi' that we eat now grows in the northern waters and have not been tested for poison.

Mainly include: longitudinal rib weaving snail (commonly known as sea melon seed), beautiful weaving snails (seasonal poisonous), knot weaving snails (toxic), Javan weaving snails (poisonous), red ribbon weave snails (seasonal poisonous) , Sig woven snails (seasonal poisonous), semi-pleated snails (seasonal poisonous), etc.

When weaving snails, most traders shook their heads and did not know. In fact, the sea melon seeds that are commonly eaten by the public are actually a kind of weaving snails. However, experts from the Institute of Oceanography of the Chinese Academy of Sciences said that the vertical ribbed snails living in the north have not yet detected toxins.

How to do eating textured snail poisoning

Silkworm snail poisoning is no antidote

This is a neurotoxicity and there is no specific drug to date. In the past few years, the majority of patients in the hospital to take vomiting, excretion, gastric lavage and other methods to speed up the metabolism, as little as possible to allow the body to absorb. Fortunately, there are always people in the move, but no cases of death have occurred.

As early as 2012, the Ministry of Health issued an announcement that there were many poisoning incidents caused by the consumption of weed snails in Zhejiang and other places. Textured snails are mainly distributed on the coasts of Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong. The main cause of snail poisoning is the tetrodotoxin it contains. It can cause symptoms such as dizziness, vomiting, lips and finger numbness after eating. The minimum incubation period is 5 minutes and the longest is 4 hours. There are no special treatment detoxification drugs for the poisoning caused by eating edible snails.

The announcement made it clear that any food production and operation entity must not purchase, process, and sell woven snails.

The State Food and Drug Administration has also issued a risk warning: Consumption of snail poisoning can cause symptoms such as dizziness, vomiting, numbness of the lips and fingers, and severe cases can cause death. The incubation period of poisoning is generally 10 minutes to 3 hours. The toxin is not stable to heat, boiled, salted, and sun-dried. There is no specific treatment for detoxification drugs.

Symptoms of snail poisoning

In the case of edible snail poisoning, early manifestations were lips, tongue, fingertips, and drooping eyelids. Gastrointestinal symptoms can occur soon, mainly including stomach discomfort, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, thirst, and blood in the stool, followed by numbness in the lips, tongue and extremities, limb weakness, muscle paralysis, ataxia, and other neurological symptoms. Severe cases are paralyzed, speechless, hoarse, purpura, dyspnea, confusion, shock, and finally died of respiratory and circulatory failure.

The shortest incubation period for snail poisoning is 5 minutes and the longest is 4 hours. Mortality is extremely high. If you suffer from nausea, abdominal pain, tingling in the lips, gums, numbness around the tongue, or numbness, you should immediately go to the hospital to explain the situation and receive treatment.

The more toxic weave snails, adults eat about 10g snail meat will appear general symptoms of poisoning, about 50g to 100g can cause death.

Liu Dingkang, deputy researcher of the Fisheries Department of the Provincial Department of Marine Fisheries, once said that its toxicity is a hundred times higher than arsenic, and eating one can be fatal.

According to incomplete statistics, since 1985, a total of 55 cases of snail poisoning have been reported in China, and 433 people have been poisoned, 48 of whom died.

Cosmetic Ingredients

Cosmetics are compound mixtures made from various raw materials after reasonable blending and processing. There are many types of cosmetics raw materials with different properties. According to the raw material properties and uses of cosmetics, it can be roughly divided into two categories: base raw materials and auxiliary raw materials. The former is a main raw material of cosmetics, which occupies a large proportion in cosmetic formulations, and is the main functional substance in cosmetics. The latter is responsible for shaping, stabilizing or imparting color, fragrance and other characteristics to cosmetics. These substances are not used in large amounts in cosmetic formulations, but are extremely important. Cosmetics are chemical mixtures made of natural, synthetic or extracted substances with different functions as raw materials and processed through production processes such as heating, stirring and emulsification.
