What are the risks if I have eaten the product Wild prawns – whole raw frozen tropical shrimp?

In healthy people, this bacteria can cause:
- gastrointestinal disorders,
- abdominal pain,
- diarrhea,
- nausea or vomiting.
More in fragile people or people suffering from chronic illnesses (liver disease, diabetes, immunosuppression, etc.), the infection can become much more serious and lead to:
- a igeneralized infection (sepsis),
