Raw shrimp: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/can-you-eat-raw-shrimp#safety Consider probiotic like Florastor , and activated charcoal. Take charcoal 3-4 hours apart from Florastor so it does not affect the probiotic. https://www.drugs.com/mtm/florastor.html f/u/ w/ MD/ gastroenterology if diarrhea develops.
