In our country, bullfrog has become a fashionable delicacy that many people loveA wide variety of bullfrog dishes satisfy the taste buds of countless diners.
But you know what?This seemingly harmless animal is actually an invasive speciesThere are many crises hidden in its body, whileThe illegal handling of some unscrupulous businesses is likely to affect people's healthSo be sure to pay attention to your own safety.
We used to think that parasites were the biggest problem in bullfrogs, but now it's differentIt may harbor a more insidious and deadly threat.
Compared with the frog that everyone often mentions, the bullfrog is much largerIn the ranking of the world's largest frog species, bullfrogs are at least in the top five.
Although bullfrogs are carnivores,Small mammals such as flies, small fish, and loaches can eat themBut it can also eat some cooked plants, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc.
In the water, there is hardly anything that is a match for a bullfrogIt is also extremely reproductive, laying tens of thousands of eggs at a timeThe eggs are covered with a layerSmall mucus,It can be very protective, so it is difficult to be eaten by other animals.
At the end of the 50s of the last century, China introduced some bullfrogs from abroadAt that time, people's attention was not high, which had a lot to do with the social environment at that time.
With the continuous development of society, people began to notice this animal, and subsequently began to breed it in large quantitiesSince the bullfrog is very adaptable and can survive in many water environments, its population has also begun to skyrocketIt has gradually become a common ingredient in the market.
Later it was found outBullfrogs carry a large number of parasites, which has become the most worrying problem for many consumers.
Parasites are animals that are commonly speakingHide in the body of other organisms to obtain the nutrients they needIt is very harmful to the parasite.
Bullfrogs have many parasites in their bodies, the most common of which is the larvaeThis is a flat-shaped animal, and its adult worms are mainly parasitic in the muscles of fish, amphibians, and reptiles, causing sarcocysticercosis.
The larvae of Schizocephalic larvae can be transmitted by water sources if humans accidentally eat an underripe bullfrogIt is very likely to be infected with this kind of disease, and there will usually be itching, redness and swellingSometimes you can feel the sensation of insects crawling, and in the most severe cases, it is likely to be life-threatening.
I am by no means alarmist when I say thisIn 2022, there will be a child who has eaten too many underripe bullfrogs, resulting in Schizocephalus infection.
In addition to the Schizocephalus parasite, bullfrogs also harbor a species called Diegong mansoniThey often hide in the gut of dogs, and if humans are infected, they can also have a big impact.
In addition to the parasites contained in the body of bullfrogs,There may also be some residual medications.
Some farmers do it to prevent bullfrogs from contracting diseases, or to promote the growth of bullfrogsThey would add some antibiotics or other drugs of unknown origin to the waterThese drugs may be present in the flesh or internal organs of bullfrogs.
If we eat these bullfrogs, the body is likely to have some adverse reactions, and some unscrupulous businesses in order to increase the production of bullfrogsThey will feed bullfrog hormones without hesitation, so that they can grow up quickly, so as to earn a higher economy.
To knowExcessive intake of hormones by the human body will cause various physiological diseases, and in severe cases, it will even become dependent on hormonesAffects the normal development of the human body.
Because bullfrogs reproduce so quickly, some breeders place them in filthy water sourcesThere are a lot of microorganisms and feces in the black water, and of course there are also high levels of heavy metal elements, which may remain in the body of bullfrogs.
Some bullfrogs even have bones of the same kind in their bodiesIf we eat these bullfrogs, the amount of heavy metals in our bodies will increaseMild cases damage the digestive system, and severe cases directly damage the nervous systemTherefore, some drugs left in the body of bullfrogs will bring great harm to human health.
The first thing that came to my mind,It is to strengthen laws, regulations and supervision, and we must test the breeding environment of bullfrogsFor those farmers who use drugs in violation of regulations and illegally build breeding sitesThe maximum penalty is given to prevent the production of substandard bullfrogs.
If we are eating bullfrogs,Be sure to go to a regular and legal store to buy itIt is better not to buy it online, at roadside stalls, after buying a bullfrog,Smell it for any weird smells and see if it's fresh.
When it comes to cooking the bullfrog in the end, be sure to cook it in hot water for more than 15 minutesMake sure that all parasites in the bullfrog's body are eliminated.
Of course, if you can avoid eating, it is best to reduce contact with this kind of food, and ensuring your health is the most important thing.
