You could become seriously ill.
According to the CDC, 91 illnesses have been reported by people who ate oysters contaminated with norovirus as of April 4. The agency says that norovirus is the leading cause offrom acute gastroenteritis—or inflammation of the stomach and intestines—among people of all ages in the United States. It causes 900 deaths annually—typically among adults aged 65 and older—as well as 109,000 hospitalizations and 465,000 emergency department visits, mainly in young children.
Even though raw shellfish pose more potential health risks to those who eat them, the FDA warns that noroviruses are still relatively resistant to heat and can survive temperatures up to 145 degrees Fahrenheit. This means that the quick steaming cooking processes some restaurants or recipes use for shellfish won't remove the risk of foodborne illness.Zach is a freelance writer specializing in beer, wine, food, spirits, and travel.
