  1. Want something salty? Eat chips, etc NOT worth the many risks associated with eating ANY raw meat 🤢☠️

  2. Mother of 5 in N Cali was hiking with kids, fell down and scraped her knee in a dry creek bed, developed a flesh eating bacteria infection.The next day she didnt have a leg, a foot, an arm, and it was in her ovaries before they could stop it from spreading. This guy with the Oyster now…… no one is explaining how he died.

  3. He ate what he wanted at least. Personally I rather have sushi but haven't had it for a bit.

  4. I love oysters but will not eat them raw in any month that doesn't have an R in it. As warm as it's been I'll wait for November.

  5. I almost died eating oyster at a high-end restaurant. Please let this be a warning.

  6. Raw oysters = "Snot in a Shell".
    Early man had to be pretty desperate to crack one of these disgusting things open, and eat it raw.

  7. Only eat Texas oysters in months have an "R"..

  8. 1:43 Was that report made using AI? 🤷‍♀️ The doctor's eyes sure made me think of AI. 🤨 The information is still, seemingly, correct…

  9. No named victim = no victim.

  10. https://youtu.be/EMb3k6N6WtU?feature=shared 12 years before, it was revealed what causes this and we noticed that fish and seafood are never effected? Unless this was generated in a biolab, designed specifically for humans ??

  11. Havn't heard of 'COOKING" dum'@ss. Sick dogs eating raw & "LIVE" sea food. As well other things. Natural selection. 😂

  12. gota wait til November, December nowadays

  13. Reminds me of the Cree warning and prophecy, "Only after the last fish is taken from the river will you realize, MONEY can NOT BE EATEN."

  14. Disgusting…😮.. Horrible…. Don't eat any raw fish…..,. just my opinion

  15. Lord Jesus Christ..please cure covid soon..Amen

  16. Lord Jesus Christ..please cure covid soon..Amen

  17. I can't help laughing.
    🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣☝️
    🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣☝️

  18. Happy to be a vegan.

  19. Only months that end in an R,Cmon people you should know that,unless you are from Kansas!

  20. Even my dog wouldn't eat oysters, no matter how I cooked em!

  21. The Bible tells us not to eat oysters.
