Is it okay to eat about four raw ships in a shrimp cocktail n I'm 14 weeks

You shouldn't eat any raw seafood. You'll be fine, just don't eat anymore.

Yes, you don't have to completely cut out seafood, just limit it. And even cocktail shrimp has been cooked and then frozen for the most part.

Sushi bad, cooked ok. :-D

Cooked shrimp is fine. There isn't the same issue concerning mercury like with tuna either. Tuna is a large fish so the mercury concentration is higher. Even very limited tuna (chunk light kind) is fine

With shrimp, since they are so small, you would have to eat a ton of it even if it did have mercury. And the problem with tuna is that most people don't cook it, they make tuna salad so the concentrations are higher.

Im pretty sure shrimp doesn't carry a risk. U would know if its raw bc raw shrimp is gray. And tuna out of a can is cooked too. Raw tuna is red.

I don't think shrimp coctail is raw, I think its just cooked then chilled. If the shrimp were raw they would have been gray in color, cooked shrimp is pink and ok to eat!
