A member asked:

Are raw oysters dangerous to eat, even if you hot sauce on them? what medical conditions would make a person not be allowed to eat raw oysters?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Don't eat them..: Raw sea food is dangerous anyhow. Hot sauce will not do anything against bacteria. Also, since you are allergic to other foods, you may very well be allergic to sea food also. Nowadays, with all sea pollution it is not safe to eat raw sea food. Stop diet sodas.Also bad for you!
