You just want me to get really ill - don't you??
I would sit them in cold water for a while - let them filter that.
I am tempted as there are 1,000's of them ---- yum, yum.

I would not let that statistics that mussels are the one of the single most virulent sources of food poisoning put you off.
I would also not be put off by the fact that although mussels are a lucrative crop that the mussel beds you are near are not being harvested, that is merely oversight.
And of course you know the adage - only the eat the ones that open really easily before they are cooked
Good luck - it has been nice knowing you
PS If you are still unsure then you can get GUTLINK - it is a small device that can be used to analyse vomit and if you are seriously ill a little red light comes on

I thought I would find a load of girlies on here who wouldn't
They haven't been harvested because you need a licence to harvest on a commercial scale - and I doubt you would get one there.
I bet you don't even pick 'n' eat brambles ..... even though every dog in the area has peeeeed up them??

the Christmas tree sized cocklink should also be a giveaway. There is also an outside chance that you will see morris dancers around the car dancing while his oil is being changed

We also do around 10kgs of sloes and 100kgs of apples.
Wanna buy some to go with your shellfish?

I used to get them from Leadenhall market (is that still going?) and keep them in the office sink with a dripping tap and a handful of oatmeal to flush through their guts. Still alive to tell the tale. Best with garlic bread to soak up the white wine and herb juices. Used to stink the office out though

I think that when they collect them for eating that the mussels are placed in a flow of clean water for a finite length of time and also subjected to ultra violet light to cleanse them.
I think you would be most unwise to eat the ones you see on the rocks PSL.
Do I have to watch out for an old surfer on a Zimmer frame so I can wave to you-or safer than that-hide somewhere!

If you are indeed as advanced in years as you claim, the diseases you can get from dodgy seafood could be very serious, personally I would rate eating fresh dog poo along similar lines as eating stuff I find on a British Beach.

Are you young and thin Pete? If not.........
"Human susceptibility to paralytic shellfish toxins varies with weight, age and health of the individual. Mild cases of PSP have been reported in adults who have consumed 340 ug of the toxin, and ingestion of 1000 ug of the toxin has resulted in death. Due to the difficulty of determining toxin levels ingested by sick persons and the variability among individuals, these dosage levels should be considered rough estimates."
