2. Shellfish
Shellfish Eating shellfish has been related to a number of diseases,
including those caused by bacteria, such as vibrios, a variety of
viruses
including hepatitis A and Norwalk agent, and those caused by toxins.
Shellfish
foodborne infections caused by bacteria and viruses can be prevented by
cooking seafoods thoroughly, storing them properly, and protecting them
from contamination after.

8. Finding
shellfish safely
by cooking them with a clove of garlic or a silver spoon to see if
the garlic or spoon turns black;. by using a sample and see method
since
a single shellfish will occasionally contain enough poison to kill an
adult,
and even if a single one does not cause PSP symptoms, a whole meal
could
contain a potentially lethal dose.
