How did the giant snail, which is used as a delicacy by Africans, be eaten to extinction?

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.

Whenever the rainy season is over, walking on the side of the road, you can often see an agate-colored snail crawling out of the grass. Their body size is somewhat as big as a person's fist, which is the African giant snail, an alien species that invaded our country, also known as the brown cloud agate snail, which is a medium to large terrestrial snail that can grow up to 20 centimeters in length. Because its main food is crops, fruit trees, vegetables and other plants, and even in case of hunger, it will be the corpses and paper of his companions, which can be eaten and digested along with cement, which is extremely destructive to the environment.

The African giant snail is an intermediate host for human and animal parasites and pathogenic bacteria, and is a mobile super-pathogen, including the ability to transmit eosinophilic meningitis and tuberculosis. Researchers have also found Angiostrongyloides, Schistosoma mansoni, human meningitis nematodes, Siberian strongyloides, etc., as long as the African giant snail crawls on the ground and plants, it can detect the pathogenic bacteria and parasites left behind by it.

The African giant snail is still very strong in its reproductive ability, and it only takes about four months for the soft snail to reach an adult, and after four months they are a propagand. With its amazing reproductive ability, the African giant snail has been breeding since its invasion of our country, and it can now be found under the greenery of many cities. He has also successfully invaded many countries and become one of the top 100 invasive alien species in the world.

But this species, which is a headache for many countries, cannot be adjusted in his native country, Africa. The African giant snail is a very popular delicacy of the African people, and they can be seen cooking the African giant snail meal with their hearts on many social networks, and they are happy to eat one by one. But is it really OK to eat the African giant snail?

A well-known Jinlan soy sauce family in Taiwan, China, listened to the rumors that the master of the five cows was supplemented, so they raised African giant snails in their villas. After raising it and eating it raw, it turned out to be a family of five, four died, one was sick in bed, and died ten years later, all because they were infected with Angiostrongyloides cantonensis in the African giant snail, which parasitized the central nervous system or cerebrospinal fluid of the human body, because the original African giant snail caused such a **.

But there are exceptions, also in Taiwan, there is a special introduction of African snails as ingredients, developed into special snacks, such as fried snail meat, closing snails, these are heated at high temperatures, completely kill the parasites and pathogenic bacteria in the snail's body. However, if you encounter a black-hearted businessman, you will also be infected with germs if you don't cook it completely. Therefore, in many times in our country, the African giant snail has been introduced into the blacklist of diet, and it has also become a lingering haze in the hearts of the ancients.

How to solve the domestic epidemic of African giant snails?

Because the African giant snail is an alien species, it may adversely affect China's ecological balance, and because it contains a large number of parasites and can transmit germs, it will be blacklisted.

These snails carry a lot of pathogens that can cause serious illness.

The main thing is that this kind of thing is not particularly convenient to cook, and there are a lot of germs, so we put it on the blacklist.

It is easy to appear a palm-sized snail after the rain in Guangdong, many locals have seen it strangely, but there are some people who come to travel to see such a big snail will be very surprised, and there are some people who think that such a big snail can be made into a delicious food residue, but the local CDC issued a reminder, saying that this palm-sized snail is actually an invasive alien species, the name is the African giant snail, although this snail looks huge, but it is full of bacteria, Therefore, once you see this kind of snail, you must stay away, so as not to be infected by the germs on the snail and have some other diseases.

This kind of African giant snail that appears after the rain is the largest snail in the world, from eastern Africa, because the plants transported back to China from foreign countries, unintentionally entrained the eggs of this snail, since then, this large snail began to breed in Xiamen, and gradually spread to other regions, the African giant snail This is also one of the invasive alien species, this snail is actually a pest, because of the huge size, so for the daily diet is very large, they only need to pass through the vegetable crops, There is absolutely no grass everywhere it goes, and the African giant snail that grows in the wild is very dirty, especially its mucus contains many deadly germs, if humans and animals are infected with this germ, it is easy to cause meningitis or other serious diseases.

If this palm-sized snail is found in the nearby area, be sure to inform the property to deal with it or stay away from them, especially children are greedy to play, seeing this huge size of the snail old cover, it is easy to have curiosity to catch these big snails, so parents must tell them this huge African snail when watching the children roll, must not touch it with their hands, so it is easy to have a serious impact on their health, especially in rainy days, Parents should also try not to take their children out to avoid getting infected with the bacteria of large snails.

The African giant snail is very dirty, and the African giant snail has a lot of parasites in it, and it is very easy to get some diseases when it eats it, so few people eat the African giant snail.

Because the African giant snail is not a biological species in our country, and this species is particularly troublesome to clean, few people eat the African giant snail.

Because this animal is not delicious, it carries a lot of viruses on its body, and it is very dirty, so it cannot be eaten at all.

Most of the ingredients will be made into very delicious food in China, but few people eat ingredients like the African giant snail in China, because it can transmit diseases, and no one dares to risk their lives to taste this food. But in Africa, where resources are scarce, this giant snail is the most common meat for Africans, and it is easy to make and obtain, so most Africans make it into a delicacy.

In fact, there is no shortage of ingredients in Africa, and most of the food is very delicious and healthy, but Africans lack cooking skills, and they can't make those foods delicious. In most cases, the ingredients are cooked using simple methods such as fire roasting, which in our eyes is a violent thing.

This African giant snail is much larger than the average snail, and it is also very destructive and feeds on vegetables and crops, but because of its huge size, it also has a lot of meat, and only one or two large snails can become a lunch for AfricansAfricans eat them as often as we often eat pork, and they cook them not only by roasting, but also by stir-frying or boiling them directly.

In the eyes of Africans, this big snail is nutritious, cheap and delicious. However, in the eyes of people in other countries, this kind of thing can not be eaten at all, the main reason is that it can transmit tuberculosis and meningitis, many germs and parasites like to use it as a host, and this bacterial parasite can also spread to the human body. So no one dared to eat it,But Africans don't care about that, they just need to fill their stomachs, so Africans can treat them as food.
