The bacterial organism, Vibrio cholera is the cause of eating raw oysters from water contaminated with feces. There were outbreaks in New York and the world actually.

Those oysters and clamps were also avoided in The Phillipines during the summer months of El Nino phenomena because of toxicity.

There's the popular belief that raw oysters are an aphrodisiac (perhaps only for men). I wonder how that came about.

Vibrio vulnificus causes fever, low blood pressure, and painful blisters on the body. It comes from raw or undercooked shellfish, or from ocean water entering an open wound.

Rabbits should only be eaten in months with an R , also. Small parasites, I believe.
