Water bamboo and water caltrop should not be eaten raw.

In the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, it is common to eat raw water bamboo and raw water caltrop. However, relevant experts have introduced that eating raw water bamboo, water caltrop, and other similar foods can easily cause fasciolopsiasis. In the past, due to severe water pollution in ponds and rivers, fasciolopsiasis was also very common. In recent years, with the improvement of water quality, the disease has been greatly reduced. However, people's vigilance has correspondingly decreased, leading to a relaxed attitude towards fasciolopsiasis, which has caused relevant experts to feel deeply concerned. Fasciolopsis worms parasitize in the human intestine, consuming the body's nutrients. When the parasitic load is high, it can lead to the patient becoming increasingly emaciated, reduced digestive function, and even affect the reproductive system.
