If you eat salted fish with parasites, it may cause parasitic infections and irritation to the stomach and intestines, which can cause diarrhea, abdominal pain and other symptoms. In addition, pickled salted fish also contains a large amount of nitrite, which will be converted into nitrosamines, a strong carcinogen, in the environment of stomach acid, and long-term large intake will increase the risk of stomach cancer, liver cancer and other cancers. Therefore, when eating pickled salted fish, it should be in moderation and not in large quantities for a long time.
