Hygiene here is not only about dirt on the surface of food that can be washed off. Some foods contain a lot of "dirt" that we cannot see with the naked eye, which is parasites, which cannot be washed off by just washing with water, and even cooking cannot completely kill the parasites. If we eat foods containing these parasites into our stomachs, it will be very harmful to our health.

Although people today pay more attention to healthy diet and hygiene, sometimes they can't resist the temptation of delicious food, or they don't know which foods contain parasites and eat carelessly. There are many parasites in the following five foods, so try not to eat them if you encounter them in the future.

1. Sashimi

3. Water chestnut

Water chestnuts are a food that carries parasites that many people have never thought of. There is a parasite in water chestnuts called ginger bugs. When eating water chestnuts, you must first wash the chestnuts, dry the skin, then cook them at a high temperature before eating.
