Although chicken is an important source of protein and nutrients, some parts of the chicken can harbor bacteria, parasites, or toxins, so it’s best to avoid consuming them for your health. Here are three parts of the chicken to be cautious about:
Craw: The chicken’s craw is a part that contains many lymphatic glands, where macrophages work to destroy bacteria but cannot completely eliminate them. As a result, the craw can become a place for bacteria and viruses to hide, posing a health risk.
Lungs: The lungs of a chicken are responsible for detoxifying the body, making them vulnerable to contamination with toxins, bacteria, viruses, and parasites.
