<human>: I'd like to find out if it's OK to eat raw oysters.
<bot>: Raw Oysters are a food that is generally safe for most people to eat, but there are some risks associated with eating them. It’s important to follow proper safety precautions when handling and consuming raw oysters. The main risk is from the possibility of infection by a type of bacteria called Vibrio vulnificus, which can cause illness in people who have weakened immune systems due to age or health conditions. To reduce your risk of exposure to this bacteria, you should make sure to thoroughly cook any raw oysters before eating them.
