Anisakis!

Investigators and Basque doctors have been alert on the high presence of the parasite "Anisakis" in the guts of the extracted fish of the Cantabrico.

Of all the species the one that more attracts attention according to the investigators is of that the whole hake of the Cantabrico that they catch has anisakis to 100 %, nicely big 81 per cent, in 70 per cent of the big scad, in 51 per cent of the big iris, in 40,5 per cent of the sardines, 33 per cent of the big verdel, 7,2 per cent of the anchovy and in 4 per cent of the big rooster.

So much if you are allergic as not to the anisakis, do not stake it and try to cook well the fish and if you it are going to eat "crude oil" freeze it before his consumption. Of all of them, the anchovy is one of the fish that major consumption presents in crude oil, good submitted to skills of pickled or simply plunged in vinegar and oil.

Most of the people were a little made aware before the "alarm" and later "rumpus" that existed owing to the happy parasite, and already for then a lot of of her it was freezing it before eating up it in crude oil.

The allergies are much more frequent than the parasitación in the human being, has pointed out Maria Teresa Audicana, of the service of Alergología of the Hospital of Santiago, in Vitoria, that it identified in 1994 the first case in Spain of extreme allergic reaction. Doctor Maria Teresa Audicana has told that, when the living parasite is consumed across a contaminated fish, there runs the risk that it comes to the intestine, where it can produce pains similar to a gastroenteritis, or more serious others, of the type of an appendicitis or an intestinal obstruction.

Also he has said that ‘este parasite is not prepared to persist in the man, for what the symptoms, although in any cases they can be painful, do not persist in the time ’. As for the allergies that it provokes, the pictures that appear "are usually light", but in case of "shock anaphylactic", the extreme allergic reaction, the symptoms go from the hives up to facial edema, abdominal pain, vomiting or muscular spasms, doctor has detailed it.

It seems small, but it is necessary to spend it, injections, pills, the time that happens until it stops the pain ……. Do you go away it is to risk?
