Refrigerator raw fish leads to meningitis
A middle-aged Chinese man contracted a Listeria bacterial infection after consuming slices of sashimi stored in the refrigerator for several days. This led to meningitis, which took three weeks of antibiotic treatment to resolve. The incident illustrates that simply storing food in the fridge does not guarantee its safety if left for an extended period, as Listeria bacteria can multiply even at low temperatures. Contaminated foods may appear normal in smell and appearance. It is advised not to keep raw fish for long durations, to maintain temperatures below 4°C, to thoroughly wash fruits and vegetables, to cook meats thoroughly, and to avoid contaminating other foods with raw items.
