That's why you put the lemon juice and cocktail sauce on - to kill the bugs. Oh, that and consume with quantities of alcohol.
To: LukeL
An old myth (with much truth to it) is that you don't consume oysters during months that end in R.Actually, that's backwards. You're traditionally not supposed to eat them in June, July or August (the only months without Rs).

I heard on the radio this morning that two people from Florida aslo died in the past week from eating raw oysters as well. Spinach anyone? No, that was in Savannah.

Sounds like it might have been Osaka's ... I never did trust their shellfish .... I wonder why they haven't NAMED the restaraunt. Living in Plano ... I might want to know.

A. Oysters can be eaten year round because of present day refrigeration. Formerly, oysters were eaten during months having an "R" in their name. This old "R" rule is no longer followed, and availability alone now governs when and how oysters may be eaten. In June, oysters spawn, which make them less plump; they are still safe for consumption.

Maybe we should ship some raw oysters and spinach over to Zawahiri and his "martyrs"?

People loved them. I never in my life et one and don't plan on it.

"Actually, the rule was you should only eat shellfish during R months because the seawater is then chilly enough that the bacteria doesn't thrive." I love prepared shellfish, but my rule for raw oysters is to avoid them on days that end in "y".

I'm landlocked here in Michigan where we generally don't eat too many lake clams.

a Dallas resident died earlier this week after consuming raw oysters The posted portion of this article fails to mention that this same Dallas resident also consumed a Coca-Cola, and played Spirograph, prior to dieing.

Raw oysters = #1 cause of food poisoning.
To: Centurion2000
I'm guessing that they didn't id the restaurant because they properly advised him of the dangers and this bug is not all that rare in raw shellfish. I'm just speculating.

The (sensible) old-wives idea was to eat oysters ONLY in months with an R --- in other words, NOT in the warm months of May, June, July, and August, but OK September-April.
Why? Because bacteria proliferate in shellfish in the warmer waters of summertime.
To: The Lumster
Yes, I'd be VERY surprised if this guy didn't have some other condition associated with this. And yeah, if you look at AIDS deaths, they've pretty much been attributed to anything you could imagine.
There are also some rather common iron storage diseases that are purely genetic. Hemochromacytoma, for instance, is very common in those of northern European descent. Having all that iron available in the body makes it very easy for microbes to form biofilms and hide from your immune system. I wouldn't be surprised if this were implicated, as well.

If God had meant us to eat raw food, he wouldn't have given us the microwave.

LOL, I did the same thing... Walked into a bar a long time ago in San Francisco and there sitting at the bar was one of the most beautiful Asian woman I've ever seen in my life (and that's saying a lot!). She invited me to eat raw oysters with her. How could I say no?
