Now that summer is here and it is the May Day holiday, many people choose to go to the seaside to play. Going to the seaside to play, in addition to feeling the local customs and the happiness of the sea breeze beach, the most important thing is to taste the local seafood. Some people like to eat raw seafood and feel the delicacy of seafood. And the closer they are to the seaside, the cheaper their seafood is and the more varieties they have. Therefore, many people deliberately go to the seaside during the holidays and want to have a good taste. However, just recently, Qinhuangdao issued a statement telling people not to use the sea rainbow as a marine creature recently. The reason is that many people eat sea rainbow recently, which leads to poisoning.

Sea rainbow, as a mollusk similar to a shell, has always been a favorite seafood. Sea rainbow is delicious and nutritious. So why is it forbidden to sell and collect edible sea rainbow in Qinhuangdao recently?

It turns out that from March to June every year, Haihong takes in a poisonous algae. Because the sea rainbow ingests this algae, the toxin is deposited in the body. Therefore, people are poisoned by eating sea rainbow. The staff in Qinhuangdao also tested the sea rainbow and found that the toxin in the sea rainbow had exceeded twice the safety standard, so an urgent notice was issued.

In fact, under normal circumstances, sea rainbow is edible. Every September or so, some toxins in the sea rainbow will meet the safety standards and can be safely eaten. Therefore, the toxins in the sea rainbow are seasonal, and the toxins in the body increase for several months every year. So be sure to pay attention to the official news before eating.

Eating sea rainbow with toxin will generally cause numbness, headache, fever, rash and other symptoms, and even severe respiratory arrest. If you find yourself unwell because of eating seafood, you must go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. Therefore, when traveling by the sea, we must pay attention to whether seafood is poisonous and edible. For inedible and toxic seafood, don't eat it with a lucky attitude.
