Philippine officials are urging heightened public awareness after food influencer Emma Amit, 51, reportedly died following the consumption of a poisonous crustacean commonly referred to as a “devil crab.” 😔

According to reports, the shellfish was eaten as part of a social media content video 🎥. Shortly after, she allegedly experienced severe symptoms consistent with seafood toxin exposure. Authorities say certain marine species can contain dangerous natural toxins that are not destroyed by cooking and can be life-threatening. ☣️🌊

Health officials are now reminding the public that not all seafood is safe for consumption — especially unfamiliar or wild-caught species without proper identification. 🛑 They stress the importance of verifying information with credible sources and avoiding risky food challenges or viral trends.

The incident has sparked broader conversations about online content responsibility and food safety awareness.
