Chinese man falls seriously ill after revenge-eating live crab

A man in China became seriously ill after he ate a live crab in what he said was an act of revenge for pinching his daughter, according to a report. Lu, the 39-year-old man in the eastern coastal province of China, swallowed the whole small-size crab and was admitted to a hospital two months later with back pain, doctors said according to South China Morning Post report. It was only after Mr Lu's wife mentioned that he had eaten "Something special" the man confessed he had taken revenge on the crab by eating it live. "I asked him, 'Why did you eat a live crab?' He said, 'I wanted to take revenge for my daughter'," Dr Cao said. Dr Cao said the man's daughter was pinched by a small crab when they were crossing a stream of water and he got angry. The man has since recovered but his doctors warned people against eating live crabs. Crab delicacies are normally eaten cooked while serving raw or marinated crabs is not rare in eastern China, including Shanghai, Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces.
