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.

I'm reminded of an episode of the early 80's show That's Incredible with Fran Tarkington and Cathy Lee Crosby where they had a guy eat a live crab on TV.

I'd love to see PETAs reaction if they tried that today.

Sure wish I could find that clip. First thing he did was bite the head off which caused all the legs to stiffen up for a few seconds then slowly relax and go limp while the audience groaned.

It’s said the Cantonese will eat anything with legs except furniture and anything with wings except airplanes.

I remember that episode!

Wait a minute...

He was hospitalized “for severe back pain about two months after”, but the clot shots cannot cause any harm anytime before, during or after?

That must have been one serious case of crabs.

Why should Florida men have all the fun?

My 40 year old memory of that wasn’t too far off. Thank you. Incredible geek show lol.

He should have cooked it like the guy did a lobster in One Crazy Summer. Drop it in boiling water and drop a stethoscope in to listen to it scream…

[Eleutheria5]

Let this be a lesson to you, young man.



Yes, sir. Never pinch a fat Chinese man's daughter. He tried to eat me. No lie.

[Eleutheria5]

Now this’ll be a meme on Twitter? Hold my beer, indeed!

[Eleutheria5]

I’ll stick to Jardiance Duo pills, thank you.

That should have been a teachable moment. Don’t play with creatures that can pinch or bite you and don’t eat raw things, especially raw things that live in nasty water.

I need to learn to say that in Mandarin to prepare for our new overlords!

[Eleutheria5]

Cantonese and Hunan, too. Those overlords get really p!ssed if you don’t know their dialect.

Strangely ill? I don’t think it’s that strange.

[Aevery_Freeman]

Strange sense of humor you got there.

At first glance, I see your name as Urethra5. Sorry, dyslexic.

[rlmorel]

LOL, talk about getting more than you bargain for:

It has been my experience, after living in Japan for a few years, if it comes out of the ocean, no matter how weird, disgusting, raw or cooked, they eat it with relish.

Even alive, as we see.
