A man in China was hospitalized after he ate a live crab that pinched his daughter, per The South China Morning Post. Months after swallowing the crustacean, he was hospitalized with severe back pain and parasitic infections. While raw crab is served in some regions of China, local government officials have recommended against it. A man in China became strangely ill months after he ate a live crab to avenge his daughter.
The man, identified as 39-year-old Lu of Zhejiang, was recently seen by doctors at a hospital in Hangzhou for severe back pain about two months after he swallowed the crustacean, according to the South China Morning Post.
"I asked him, 'Why did you eat a live crab?' He said, 'I wanted to take revenge for my daughter,'" Dr. Cao Qian said, per the Morning Post. "He said, 'When we were by a stream my daughter was pinched by a small crab, so I got angry and put it into my mouth for revenge.'"
Cao said Lu only admitted to eating the crab after his wife mentioned the incident to doctors, who were puzzled by "pathology changes in his chest, abdomen, liver and digestive system," per the Morning Post.

Here's why eating a live octopus can be deadly
Tourists get them in restaurants where they cut them up a bit but the same risk.

According to head chef Kim Sang Jin, you first have to grab the octopus by the head and squeeze the tentacles downwards to remove the mucus, because this isn't very nice to eat.
"Eating the live octopus is very good for your blood sugar levels," he said. "Because it contains virgin [raw] taurine."
After trying some on camera, he said the tentacles stick to his mouth and it feels "kind of strange." He said to stop customers choking, the octopus has to be cut into very small pieces.
"If you try to eat big pieces it can get caught in your throat," he added. "And that's when you have an accident and die."
