Eating raw
oysters, playing
russian roulette
The Baylor College of Medicine
Houston, Texas reports, people
with chronic illnesses who eat raw
oysters arc playing Russian
roulette. Oysters become "bags of
germs” as they filter viruses and
bacteria from sea water, said Dr.
Herbert DuPont, vice chairman of
maturing it the college. Oysters
also can be contaminated after
harvesting
"When you eat an uncooked
oyster, you run the risk of exposure
to organisms that could be fatal,
especially if you have diabetes,
liver disease, cancer. AIDS or
other severe chronic illnesses.”
DuPont said.
Since 1990. at least nine deaths
in Texas have been linked to
eating raw oy sters
The bacteria known as Vibrio
Vulnificus pose one of the greatest
health risks to consumers of raw
oysters. These bacteria release a
poison that kills body tissue,
causing black skin lesions
resembling those produced by
flesh-eating bacteria. Initial
symptoms develop 24 to 48 hours
after the bacteria are eaten and
include fever, muscle aches,
redness of the skin, a drop in blood
pressure and light-headedness
Infection by Vibrio Vulnificus can
be fatal within 24 hours, so you
should seek treatment by a
physician immediately if
symptoms appear
“Be sure to tell your doctor that
you’ve eaten raw oysters within
the last few days, since treatment
requires a special type of
antibiotic,” DuPont said
100.000 healthy people who eat
raw oysters with Vibrio Vulnificus
will get sick, but the rate is higher
among people with chronic
illnesses like diabetes and liver
disease. For example, the bacteria
will cause illness in 11 of every
1(X),000 diabetics and 73 of every
100.000 people with liver disease
who eat raw oysters, he said.
Other diseases that can be
acquired by eating raw oysters
include hepatitis A’ and severe
diarrhea.
You can’t tell by appearance,
smell or taste whether an oyster
contains harmful bacteria or
viruses. And just washing the
surface won’t rid the oysters of the
potentially dangerous organisms.
"The only guaranteed safe way
to cat oysters is to cook them." Dr
DuPont said.
