Doctors recommend food Berries, nuts, fish Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, or even dark chocolate, can be used for nerve health. They also discourage foods high in sugar and saturated fats, which can increase the risk of stroke and dementia.
But, according to neurologists, lesser-known foods can also cause real headaches.
“While foodborne diseases are often associated with gastrointestinal symptoms, some pathogens and toxins directly affect the nervous system, sometimes with serious or long-term consequences,” said Dr. Mary Ann Picone, a neurologist at Holy Name Medical Center in New Jersey.
Picone told Fox News Digital that even doctors may underestimate or miss neurological components because the disease is less common and the symptoms may appear slowly.
Experts say international travel and home food preparation can increase your risk of signing.
These are three common foods that neurologists are cautious about and may put you at risk of toxins and bugs.

“If a can expand, break or severely dent, it’s a red flag for Botox contamination,” Dr. Baibing Chen, a Michigan neurologist and epilepsy scientist, said in a recent video posted on Tiktok and Instagram. Dr. Bing.
Chen warns that Botox is odorless, odorless, and heating contaminated food may not be completely neutralized. “If you have any questions, throw it away.”
Experts say eating these common foods may reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s.
Effective neurotoxins can cause Botox, a Rare but serious illness According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), this attacks the nerves, causes muscle paralysis, difficulty breathing and even death.
The most risky foods, including mung beans, asparagus, corn, meat and fermented fish, including mung beans, asparagus, corn, meat, garlic and fermented fish, are the most dangerous, Picone said.
To prevent Botoxism, the CDC recommends refrigerating or freezing leftovers immediately after cooking, throwing away damaged or raised cans, and following USDA’s family approval guidelines.

“I like to eat fish, but because of a neurotoxin called cigar toxin, I’m trying to avoid eating large tropical reef fish such as pike, grouper and amber,” Chen said.

Cigar toxin is a neurotoxin produced by certain algae in coral reefs as a defense mechanism. It can range from the food chain to carnivorous fish to carnivorous fish, and ultimately humans.
this Neurological symptoms Chen said poisoning of cigar toxin poisoning may include tingling and numbing sensations, hot objects feel cold and cold objects feel hot, and the reverse sensations of nightmare.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 50,000 cases of CIGUATERA poisoning are reported worldwide each year, but the number may be higher because it is often misdiagnosed.

He added that the toxin is hot-stable, so cooking the fish won’t destroy it. “That doesn’t mean you can’t eat fish,” he said. “Just avoid or limit the consumption of large predatory fish, avoid eating certain parts such as the liver or ROE, and be aware of the endemic areas.”
According to the CDC, it is common in the Pacific, Indian Ocean and the Caribbean.

The CDC says the neurocyst occurs after a person swallows pork tapeworm eggs. The larvae migrate to tissues such as the brain and form cysts that are diagnosed in the central nervous system.
“The little-known fact is that it is actually one of the main reasons for epilepsy worldwide,” Chen said of the infection. “This can be seen not only in developing countries, but also in developed countries in areas with poor sanitation.”

There are about 1,000 new ones Hospitalization for neurocysts According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, cases are most frequently reported in New York, California, Texas, Oregon and Illinois each year.
