I dunno about that. I believe the French have a saying along the lines of “lovers of good food just accept they will get very sick once or twice a year.” I got MEGA sick from some oysters in Japan once 20yrs ago. Like… coming from both ends and out of commission for 48hrs. And I don’t think I even gave having oysters again a second’s hesitation like a couple weeks later.
Edit:
I might be misremembering an Anthony Bourdain quote: “Good food and good eating are about risk. Every once in a while an oyster, for instance, will make you sick to your stomach. Does this mean you should stop eating oysters? No way.”
