A woman was shocked when she opened a crab

A woman was shocked when she opened a crab and found something strange inside. She asked if it was edible. An expert explained what the answer was

The girl was shocked when she opened the crab and found something strange inside. She asked if she could eat it. The expert explained that it was a bean sprout snail, a parasite that sucks blood and nutrients from the crab. She cleaned it and could eat it.

This is a story that a consumer posted in the group We are Consumers , sharing their experience of buying crabs to eat and finding foreign objects inside, so they came to ask whether they can be eaten or not. The answer is: Asking for help from those who know. What is this thing that is stuck to the crab? I opened it up and found it. And can this crab still be eaten normally?

Later, someone came to provide knowledge that what was found was barnacles , which are parasites that suck blood and nutrients from crabs, causing the crabs to be in a state of not being fully grown. They will stick to various organs, such as crab milk, legs, and body. But don't worry, if we clean them, we can eat them

To deal with this type of parasite, use water mixed with a little potassium permanganate and soak the crab for about 5-10 minutes or soak the crab in fresh water for half a day because this type of parasite lives in salt water. When exposed to fresh water, it will struggle to escape from the crab.

However, if you steam crabs and eat them, when you open the crab shell and find bean sprout barnacles, do not be alarmed because they are external parasites and do not live in the crab meat
