Why are snails that Chinese dare not touch, but they are being eaten by Africans to the point of ext

There are many cuisines in the world. Each country has its own characteristics, such as the Indian love curry, the French love foie gras, and the Italian love pasta. However, China can't say which one is the favorite, because there are too many delicacies to say.

However, the most savvy Chinese also have things they dare not touch. It is a food with African characteristics, which is now almost extinct, and Africans consume tens of thousands of kilograms every year, and that is the "African snail".

Africans have a relatively simple food, and they like to eat a variety of things. Africa has a large population of large snails that are not as large as the snails we usually see but look like large snails of mutated species. They can completely occupy the palm of an adult's hand and have a lot of meat.

Snails are a pest in China, and everyone doesn't like them, and domestic snails are too small to eat. But in Africa, snails are their daily routine.

Africans are particularly fond of large snails, believing that they are abundant, large, meaty, and nutritious enough to meet the needs of the local people. In Africa, their method of cooking snails is very simple. They are used for cooking or frying, as well as roasted snails and specialty snail soupsAnd **very low.

But many outsiders don't necessarily dare to drink it.

Snails have a strong reproductive ability, they can lay more than 1,000 eggs a year, and they also have low requirements for living environment. They can survive anywhere. Even such creatures will be eaten by Africans and become extinct.

This shows that Africans are too fond of snails. Due to the huge demand for snails, the number of snails** here is starting to soar, and the number of wild snails is getting smaller and smaller. The people of Africa will soon rely on captive breeding.

Ahh I'm Chinese, and I especially like snails. Why don't you dare to touch it? Maybe it's because it's poisonous, but Africans eat it to prove that it's not poisonous. Hahaha.

Because the giant snail in Africa is listed as one of the top 100 invasive species in China, the toxin on this snail is very strong, as long as someone touches it, there will be some abnormalities on its body, so it can't be touched at all.

The main reason is that these snails have a lot of pathogens and parasites on them, and if you touch them with your hands, you will get infected.

Because there are a lot of bacteria on these things, if you touch them, it is likely to cause your own infection, which is very bad for yourself.

The African giant snail prefers humid environments. Living on the land, commonly found in the south, mainly inhabiting beds, farmland, orchards, rubber plantations, overgrown weeds, lush trees, crops in the humid environment and humus soil, the favorable wet weather in southern China, abundant rain, lush plants become the best in life, the reason why African snails are often seen everywhere in parks, village green spaces, shrubs and vegetable fields. They prefer to live in groups, sleep at night, and enjoy humid environments.

Go out at night, come out after 8 p.m., and return to the same place or hide nearby after 5 p.m. the next day.

People who are afraid of light can't stand the heat, don't look at them crawling slowly, but they are pretending to be pigs and eating tigers, the mucus it produces has a protective effect on the body, even if it crawls over sharp blades, it will not be injured, its food is crops, trees, fruit trees, vegetables, flowers, and when hungry, it can also feed paper and the body of its companions, and even eat and digest cement. A giant African snail was once photographed eating a nimble lizard. If you see this snail, you should keep a wide field of view.

If it is found in a residential area, the property can ask a professional company to kill and eliminate, such as finding its traces at home, you can sprinkle salt to melt the snail software part into the water and die.

This giant snail that emerges from the rain is aptly named the African snail, or brown cloud agate snail. It is the largest snail in the world. It is native to East Africa, and Africans still enjoy eating it.

In the 30s of the last century, this kind of big snail was introduced into Fujian and Taiwan in China to be raised, and was used as food by people"The hosts"Without paying attention, they fled to nature to establish a population, and began to spread rapidly, becoming the first batch of 16 invasive alien species in our country, flooding everywhere"disaster"。This"Monsters"Eating without ambiguity, all kinds of vegetables, crops, flowers, and trees in the fields were swept away, and no grass grew everywhere they went, so they were listed as entry and exit quarantine pests. Worst of all, the wild African giant snail is very dirty!

Their mucus or feces can carry many parasites and pathogens, especially keratitis in the generalized sense, which can transmit diseases such as meningoencephalitis or meningitis. Children have low immunity and are more likely to fall for scams if they are curious to touch African snails! When the generalized African snail enters the human body, it can become trapped in the central nervous system or cerebrospinal fluid, causing meningitis, which can be fatal.

Because there are a lot of parasites on the African snail, and then the African giant snail will also have some germs on it, and we humans will be infected with this disease if we touch it, so we can't touch it.

With the rapid development of the economy, more and more Chinese go abroad and begin to go to all over the world。There are not many people traveling abroad, and more and more. Now, when you go all over the world, you can see Chinese tourists, and the same goes for Africa.

Although poor and backward, the local people have also developed a unique set of cultural customs and local customs. In particular, the local food culture is very different from China.

Whenever Africa is mentioned, people have to think differently, some people think of the poor and backward life in Africa, some think of the boundless grassland scenery, some think of living in tropical climate wild animals and all kinds of strange plants, in the mysterious and beautiful African land, there are many things that are open, long-term knowledge, such as the introduction of African snails today.

The African snail, also known as the brown cloud agate snail, belongs to the agate snail family Agate snail. In Africa, African snails can be said to be a super tasty food. In the African market, you can see locals piling snails together and snails piling together**.

The way of selling is simple and crude, which is usually an argument. Africans are very fond of eating snails. They like to pick out the snail meat like a Chinese snail, fry and stew.

Or roast with the shell. It is difficult for many Chinese tourists to swallow such boneless and almost transparent meat. African snails are not like Chinese snails.

Chinese snail meat is barely visible to the eye, let alone snail meat. But unlike Africa, the local snail is the largest snail in the world. Adult shells are generally 7-8 cm in size and can be up to 20 cm long.

At the same time, they are also the animals with the most teeth in the world.

For African locals, it is a rare delicacy. Most of them rely on African snails for protein, especially in Ghana, and even some will eat snails as a staple food. Many Africans will catch African snails to make money and bring them to the market**.

Now, the snail has invaded China and is listed as the first harmful foreign invasive species by the state. Even so, Africans are still very fond of eating this animalIt is said that 15 million gold is eaten every year, and it is really unfortunate that snails are also 10,000 grass horses roaring, and no one wants to touch animals, and this place is about to be eaten up.

The snail meat is much fatty and tender, and people who can't afford to eat meat will eat this kind of meat, and later some people who like to eat strange food are also interested in this food, because this kind of snail is relatively cheap in the local area, so there are many people who eat it, which leads to the extinction of the species.

In fact, the reason is very simple, mainly because there are too many people who eat snails, and the speed of snail reproduction is not as fast as the rate of being eaten, so it is extinct.

Africans like to eat this kind of snail very much, regard this snail as a national dish, and eat tens of millions of catties every year.

An African turtle carrying a few oversized turtles on a vegetable plate explains the variety of ways to eat them, and even after they are ready, they continue to eat them with relish. And this kind of small turtle is not uncommon in China, especially in southern China, which can be described as a flood. However, although it is large in number, few people eat it, and even this is the target of Chinese shouting and killing.

Invasive species have long been an ecological challenge for many countries, and Australia has been fighting rabbits for hundreds of years, but there is still nothing to be done about it. But more than a decade ago, China was plagued by algae invasion, and many ponds were severely damaged due to their ecosystems. Nowadays, the problem of algae has been properly dealt with in China, but in the list of alien invasions, the protagonist of the article, the African giant snail is also one of the first 16 invasive alien species in China, they are attached to food crops, not only will pose a threat to food crops, and even the small turtle is also the intermediate host of many animal schizocephalic larvae and pathogenic bacteria, polluting the environment, infecting diseases, and belonging to one of the harmful populations.

To put it bluntly, this kind of giant snail was originally a population in African countries, but in the 21st century, with the advent of the era of economic globalization, African giant snails have also appeared in Japan, the United States, Canada, China and other different countries. The reproduction rate of the African giant snail is very strong, and its egg cycle time can reach 4 times a year, and the eggs can reach 150-300 at a time, because most of them belong to the existence of no nemesis in China, and the breeding rate of this kind of geometric growth has already led to a serious impact on China's ecological environment.

The length of the body shell of this guy is about 7 to 8 cm when it is an adult, and it can grow to about 20 cm if it has a fast grasp or an excellent diet, and it is a "giant" in a proper small turtle. The African giant snail is home in the coastal areas of eastern Africa and is a unique local delicacy. For most Chinese, it is indeed difficult to accept such things as eating snails, such as the special dish "French baked snails" in French meals, which is always ridiculed as not as delicious as the legend.

But the African giant snail is definitely a delicious ingredient in its homeland. And because of the very large size and high meat production, it was once introduced into many countries as food applications by human factors. In appearance, the shell of the African giant snail is significantly thicker, and it looks very shiny and beautiful.

Above the yellow background color, there are many dark brown and white patterns overlapping all over the place, which has a unique beauty, and everyone gives them the nickname "brown cloud agate snail" because of this kind of surface.

In general, the invasion of alien species caused by the African giant snail has become an obvious problem in many countries, and various methods have been used to resist its reproduction, including the introduction of nemesis, biopesticides, human capture, etc., but in the end the results are not good.

We should remember that we must not bring species from other regions into our territory because of curiosity or for any other reason, because it is easy to bring in, but it is difficult to blast out.

Because this large snail likes to live in a humid place, it carries a lot of bacteria. But for Africans, they also ate when they were hungry. First fungus, paint, lime, cement and much more. So they don't care about that.

The reason why Africans eat the African giant snail as a delicacy is because it is already poor and there is very little to eat. In the case that people can rarely afford to eat meat, the African giant snail is also considered "meat", and people do not have too many requirements for whether this meat is healthy or not.

It is a rare delicacy for Africans, who mostly rely on African giant snails for protein, especially in Ghana, where people can eat 15 million kilograms of giant snails every year. Their treatment in Africa is probably similar to that of crayfish in China. However, in the eyes of Chinese people, crayfish is just a delicious food, and African natives rely on African giant snails to supplement protein, and there is an essential difference between the two.

Because these animals may be infected with viruses and parasites, they should not be touched for safety reasons.
