Oysters can be dangerous to eat. Gulf oysters can spread diseases to humans if they aren’t processed correctly. It is getting safer to eat oysters though, particularly due to the post-harvest process. The post-harvest process is one of three choices. It can be where the oysters are frozen, the oysters are cooked in high pressure, or the oysters are done in a heat-cool pasteurization. No matter which way they are cooked, it means that the risk is greatly reduced. Personally I don’t like seafood, but I know a lot of people who do. I also know someone who got sick from eating it and let me tell you that it isn’t a pretty site when someone gets sick from seafood.
