webfact 117542 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Tricky trader spraying "deadly aspirin" on squid to make them more attractive Picture: Sanook A scientific site on Facebook has warned the public after a pharmacist posted about the actions of a disreputable trader. The man was selling squid but to make them appear fresher and more palatable he was using a solution made up of aspirin to spray them. Sanook reported that the practice of salting limp squid to induce osmosis was common. But using aspirin could be deadly. People with an allergy to Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) could be in trouble when consuming the squid. Aspirin is an over the counter NSAID and people with allergic reactions to it can die.

I dated one a long time ago. She constantly had her tentacles all over me... and in my wallet, too. I soon broke up with her although she'd never complained about headaches when I wanted to have sex. Perhaps she was sprayed with aspirin, which fortified her against inconvenient (for me) migraines. Luckily, I am not allergic to NSAIDs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
londonthai 1797 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 deadly might be for fish and such, which are very fragile to man made chemicals, but minute amounts eaten from squid won't be even noticed by human organism. when allergic people quickly learn, what is making them sick and won't eat more after the first symptoms Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotchilli 32161 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Maybe the traders should take a look at how the Japanese deal with catches of squid and how best to preserve them in the best condition before selling. They have extensive knowledge of this product and certainly don't need to use aspirin!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemonjelly 7680 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Well, it’s one way to counter the effects of the massive cholesterol content of squid.

Lucky mike 341 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Putting chemicals onto food to extend its " freshness" is widely practiced, my partner was hospitalized for 5 days after eating squid with formalin on it.

sammieuk1 24206 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Just wondering at how he arrived at this solution as a squid rejuvenator did he do some other trial and error Narco testing before based on whether the customer came back?

Aspirin, being acidic, will keep things fresh longer as it will inhibit bacterial growth, throughout the world fish vendors have used hydrogen peroxide as it does the same. Perhaps this vendor got the idea from flower sellers who add aspirin to water to aid longevity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
