Food influencer in the Philippines dies after eating highly toxic devil crab
I worked with a girl from China and we were on a walk talking. I asked her what kind of food they eat in China, and I'll never forget her response....
"If it move, we eat it!" ????
Oh well, there's millions more, four foot cock-sockets for us to choose from here
The crab did a very good influence on her. Best crab influencer.
Symptoms typically begin within minutes to a few hours after consumption (often 30 minutes to several hours, depending on the dose), starting in the mouth and spreading. They include:
Numbness and tingling in the mouth, lips, tongue, throat, and face (often the first sign)
Tingling or numbness spreading to the limbs, fingers, and toes
Nausea, vomiting, and gastrointestinal discomfort (e.g., stomach pain, diarrhea)
Dizziness, headache, and blurred vision
Difficulty speaking or swallowing
Muscle weakness, cramps, or restlessness
Drooling, excessive thirst, or change in sense of taste
Tightness in the chest or difficulty breathing
Extreme muscle paralysis
Convulsions, loss of consciousness, cyanosis (e.g., blue lips from oxygen deprivation), respiratory failure, and death in severe cases
Reported cases show high fatality rates (e.g., around 50% in some Philippine incidents), with death possible within hours to a day. Even small amounts can be lethal, and there's no specific antidote—treatment is supportive (e.g., mechanical ventilation if breathing fails).
Do not attempt to eat or handle this crab for consumption. Authorities (like the Philippine Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources) repeatedly warn against it, especially in reef areas. If someone suspects they've ingested it or shows these symptoms, seek immediate emergency medical help.
