Pregnant Women and Infants Should Not Eat Crabs
According to a report in Science and Technology Daily, crabs are considered a high-allergen food, which in folk terms is known as a "trigger food." The following groups of people should be cautious when eating crabs.
First Group: Individuals with a history of crab allergies, or those suffering from urticaria, allergic asthma, or allergic dermatitis. It is best for children, the elderly, and pregnant women, especially those with a predisposition to allergies, to avoid eating crabs.
Second Group: Patients with cholecystitis, cholelithiasis, hepatitis, acute or chronic pancreatitis, and severe cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases should try to eat few or no crabs, and certainly should not indulge in drinking alcohol with crabs.
Third Group: People with diarrhea, stomach pain, colds, fever, or a naturally weak and cold digestive system should not eat crabs. Because crabs are a cold-natured food and high in protein and fat, they are difficult to digest and absorb. At the same time, they can worsen digestive discomfort, leading to symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and vomiting.
Fourth Group: Pregnant women with a cold and weak constitution are not suitable for eating crabs, as it may cause miscarriage.
Fifth Group: Infants should not eat crabs because the high protein content can place a burden on the liver and kidneys.
