I hope you washed them off before licking them……I would at least need some salt , pepper , and some crackers

Fk Oysters. Yuk
Tried them and me no likey.
Wonder what moron was the 1st to eat those nasty fkers.

A hungry one. The settlers of Nieuw Amsterdam (the Big Apple to youse) were in real trubble at first. Had to buy scheples of grain from the Injuns to survive... and eat the fresh oysters right there at the shore.

For those wimpy littles, lemme tellya why oysters are good for ya:

https://www.nutritionadvance.com/oysters-nutrition-benefits/"Oysters are one of the most popular seafood options, and they are one of the most nutritious foods we can eat.

1) A Rich Source of Omega-3 Fatty Acids​

*Higher omega-3 intake lowers cardiovascular and all-cause mortality risk
*Omega-3 has anti-inflammatory properties, and may indirectly decrease the risk of numerous inflammation-driven diseases
*More dietary omega-3 can reduce the symptoms of metabolic syndrome (such as high blood pressure)
*Oysters offer seven grams of protein for only 68 calories, which rivals lean red meat for protein density.

The rest of the list goes on like that. But I think it is kewl to susprise you with the info that oysters are higher in protein than steak. And work in reverse on your heart in relation to steak...

Potential Health Risks of Oysters​

While oysters are a great source of various nutrients, they’re not without risks. One especially serious concern is the risk of food poisoning from oysters.

Food Poisoning

Since oysters are most frequently eaten raw, they are especially susceptible to passing on bacterial contamination. One type of bacteria found in oysters — Vibrio vulnificus — is linked to a serious illness - even fatalities.

Unfortunately, there’s no easy way to tell if the oysters on your plate have been contaminated. Serious symptoms typically appear within 24 to 48 hours after consumption and may include fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and shock.

Those most at risk for serious complications from bacterial contamination are people with cancer, diabetes, and liver disease. Those with alcoholic liver disease may be at particular risk. Anyone, including those without these diseases, should seek medical attention


According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), every year nearly 80,000 people get sick from eating raw or undercooked oysters, and as many as 100 people die. Various strains of Vibrio bacteria are responsible causing illness, and the signs and symptoms may develop within 24 to 48 hours after eating the contaminated oysters. How sick you get may depend on the strain responsible for the infection.

Vibrio vulnificus Health Education Kit

Raw oysters contaminated with Vibrio vulnificus can be life threatening, even fatal when eaten by someone with liver disease, diabetes or a weakened immune system. However, there are myths that encourage people to eat raw oysters in spite of these dangers. Some of these myths, and the true facts behind them, include:
MYTH: Eating raw oysters are safe if you drown them in hot sauce, which kills everything.
Fact: The active ingredients in hot sauce have no more effect on harmful bacteria than plain water. Nothing but prolonged exposure to heat at a high enough temperature will kill bacteria.
MYTH: Avoid oysters from polluted waters and you'll be fine.
Fact: Vibrio vulnificus in oysters has nothing to do with pollution. Rather these bacteria thrive naturally in warm coastal areas (such as the Gulf of Mexico) where oysters live.
MYTH: An experienced oyster lover can tell a good oyster from a bad one.
Fact: Vibrio vulnificus can't be seen, smelled, or even tasted. Don't rely on your senses to determine if an oyster is safe.
MYTH: Alcohol kills harmful bacteria.
Fact: Alcohol may impair your good judgment, but it doesn't destroy harmful bacteria.
MYTH: Just a few oysters can't hurt you.
Fact: Roberta Hammond, Ph.D, the Food and Waterborne Disease Coordinator for Florida, cites a case where a fatality caused by Vibrio vulnificus occurred after eating only three oysters. The seriousness of any case depends on many factors, including how much bacteria is ingested and the person's underlying health conditions.
MYTH: Avoid raw oysters in months without the letter "R" and you'll be safe.
Fact: While presence of Vibrio vulnificus bacteria is higher in warmer months, according to the Department of Health and Human Service's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a full 40 percent of cases occur during colder months from September through April.
MYTH: Raw oysters are an aphrodisiac and will cure a hangover.
Fact: There is no scientific evidence that either of these commonly held beliefs is true.

take that!

Good morning peoples…

I’m knocking on wood but have eaten lots of oysters without getting sick. I have slid one in my mouth a few time before that was not so good spitting it back out. That usually stops from eating anymore that day but so far has not kept be from going back again. Maybe not at the same place tho…

Oysters. Clams and mussels have regular shell margins.

My glissade** point strikes home:

The Vitamin B12 Content of Oysters Versus Meat

Type of Food	Vitamin B12 Content (per 100g)
80% Lean Beef	48 % RDI
Beef Liver	988 % RDI
Lamb	39 % RDI
Oysters	324 % RDI

Summary: You have a quantum jump higher likelihood of heart disease by eating something excreted through the Golden Arches and all their clones than you have from eating raw oysters.

The Final Nail: Oysters, unlike pork chops, etc. can be eaten raw or cooked. Fried oysters are, by definiton, free of any possible Vibrio vulnificus. Sooper delicious thataway, too.

My big problem with raw oysters: Too damn' expensive to eat nowadays.

**I no sheit learned fencing from my FIL, may God rest his pure heart. <-- The only man I ever met that never did any wrong at any time. Amazing man.

I ate lots of them before my raging diarrhea episode, but haven't since. I wouldn't say that I loved them, but once you get you get by the texture, they taste pretty good.

We set an hibachi up on the beach for those who liked the cooked texture better, and used tabasco for those seeking to "enhance" the flavor. You had to be careful though, because a closed oyster traps seawater and as soon as they are cooked enough to die and open up, if you aren't careful when you pick them up, they will dump that water onto your glowing charcoal.

We set them on long enough to open, then dumped the water and replaced them on the grill long enough to finish cooking.

That’s true Walt. The price of oysters now are extremely expensive. Best to buy them from the boats coming in by the bag full and do them yourself. I do love them roasted over a pit too yum.

I do not know about the ballestra or glissade but I do know how risky it is to eat uncooked raw oysters

what is a fancy word for a counter attack?

how about a feint and then Imbrocatta

one word ,

Trichinosis​

Overview​

Trichinosis (trik-ih-NO-sis), sometimes called trichinellosis (trik-ih-nuh-LOW-sis), is a type of roundworm infection. These roundworm parasites (trichinella) use a host body to live and reproduce. These parasites infect animals such as bears, cougars, walruses, foxes, wild boars and domestic pigs. You get the infection by eating the immature form of the roundworm (larvae) in raw or undercooked meat.
When humans eat raw or undercooked meat containing trichinella larvae, the larvae grow into adult worms in the small intestine. This takes several weeks. The adult worms produce larvae that travel through the bloodstream to different parts of the body. They then bury themselves in muscle tissue. Trichinosis is most widespread in rural areas throughout the world.

One has to know how to sauce them

 

[Tattered Old Graywolf]

I haven't been for years, but there used to be a huge source in Puget Sound on the Olympic Pennisulla, adjacent to the Washington State Shellfish Laboratory where we dove.

The small oysters in shallow water got pretty well picked over at low tide, but with a snorkel or scuba, there was virtually an unlimited supply in the 52F waters of the sound.

Where I got sick was from oysters on the east side of the sound, nearer civilization.
