There is a risk of parasitic infection from eating river clams.
River clams are bivalve aquatic organisms that reproduce well and grow quickly, and they contain clam meat that is tasty and nutritious. However, river clams live in an environment where there are parasites, so the possibility of parasites on river clams cannot be ruled out, and if you eat raw or half-cooked clams, you may become infected with parasites.
Parasites can be present in all kinds of water creatures, and if the food is not cooked properly, the parasites may not be killed and may enter the body, jeopardizing the individual’s health.
It is important to pay attention to dietary safety on a daily basis, avoid eating raw food as much as possible, and seek medical attention if you become unwell due to a poor diet.
