Procambarus Details: NCBI 6726, gram-negative or unknown [genus]

1. Allergies: Crayfish, including those from the genus Procambarus, can trigger allergic reactions in individuals with shellfish allergies. Symptoms may range from mild skin reactions (e.g., itching, hives) to severe anaphylaxis. Avoidance of crayfish products is recommended for individuals with known shellfish allergies.

2. Foodborne Illness: Consumption of contaminated or improperly prepared crayfish from the Procambarus genus may lead to foodborne illnesses caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites. Symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever. Proper cooking techniques and hygiene practices are essential to minimize the risk of foodborne illness.

3. Shellfish Poisoning: Crayfish, including those from the genus Procambarus, can accumulate toxins produced by harmful algal blooms. These toxins, such as saxitoxin or domoic acid, can cause various forms of shellfish poisoning in humans, including paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) and amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP). Symptoms may include neurological effects, gastrointestinal distress, or respiratory problems.

4. Heavy Metal Contamination: Crayfish from polluted environments may contain elevated levels of heavy metals, such as mercury, cadmium, and lead. Chronic consumption of crayfish with high heavy metal content can pose health risks, particularly for vulnerable populations like pregnant women and children.

5. Injuries: Handling live crayfish or improperly prepared crayfish with sharp parts (e.g., claws) can lead to accidental injuries, such as cuts or puncture wounds. These injuries may become infected if not promptly cleaned and treated.
