    Dear members,

    In Italy a lot of american bobster (Homarus americanus) are imported and
    still alive sold. Despite the cooking, is possible any risk for human
    health?
    I think, for example, eavy metals or biotoxins.
    Is there knowledge about indigenous bacteria, for example alophilic vibrio,
    or another potential pathogens?

    Thank you in advance!
