...there may be limits. Reid sent this high "eeuuuwww factor" story from the L. A. Times.
It begins: "Health officials Thursday again warned consumers against eating raw or undercooked freshwater crabs as two Orange County restaurants were found to have served raw or live crabs and two more diners came down with a rare lung fluke infection.
"Riptide Rockin' Sushi & Teppan Grill in Mission Viejo and Chomp Rockin' Sushi & Teppan Grill in Fullerton were identified after the Health Care Agency contacted all the restaurants in Orange County serving the crab to advise them that the crabs must be fully cooked."
My reaction: "Now I have actually READ the thing. Two observations;
"Do not eat at a place when "Rockin' " is a part of the joint's name.
"Do not eat LIVE CRABS.
"Rules for living, like Jackson and I used to make up. Like (courtesy of Richard Preston) "Don't eat bat shit in a level four hot zone".
"Easy. No lung flukes, no Marburg virus."
By the way, Peculiar and I, in his youth, once discussed getting two Jack Russells or Patterdale terriers and naming them Ebola and Marburg.

Riptide is a great restaurant-they served what was a legal (according to the FDA) food prepared in a legal way that is now known to possibly carry this parasite. I expect that the FDA will no longer allow this type of crab to be served raw or undercooked. Just to be clear-the restarurant did nothing wrong-in fact, they were more proactive than the FDA or CDC in alerting the public.
