That can be avioded with butter, garlic, and boiling water.

A future episode of Monsters Inside Me?

[mrmeyer]

Reminds me of the parasites from Futurama.

Good thing I’m allergic to Crawdads.

Never ate then raw but, the ones I did eat kept on swimmin through the night.

[KoRn]

Geez! How many people out there seriously eat RAW crayfish?!

Almost calls for a... “You Might Be A Redneck if”...

[downtownconservative]

Didn’t wash down those crayfish with enough beer. (sorry, dictionary spells it c-r-a-y-f-i-s-h)

[Jewbacca]

Good thing I’m Jewish.

[James C. Bennett]

I am usually disgusted by non-mammalian / non-avian meat. Critters like these top the list.

[the invisib1e hand]

[mad_as_he$$]

There was an episode where a guy got lung flukes from eating raw crab.

>”How many people out there seriously eat RAW crayfish?!”

As a sushi lover, you ONLY eat raw SEAFOOD, -> NOT <- raw fresh water fish (BECAUSE of parasites!!!)

And, its even best to freeze the seafood first. (kills any other parasites that it may have although ocean seafood normally dont get it.

As a hillbilly and a redneck, we know you dont eat that stuff raw.

Some of these people, geesh! ya wonder where they grew up...

I watched that this weekend. Is that a regular tv show? that was creepy, but informative.

[C19fan]

I do not think it is a purely regular but I have seen some episodes. As you mentioned disguisting but really fascinatig the lifecycle and survival strategies of the parasites.
