Introduction
Sea mussels are generally considered a "trigger food." Trigger foods refer to those rich in nutrients, containing abundant foreign proteins or stimulating substances that may induce or exacerbate certain diseases. Sea mussels are highly nutritious and contain significant amounts of foreign proteins, thus classifying them as trigger foods. For healthy individuals, moderate consumption can be beneficial; however, people with skin conditions or seafood allergies should generally avoid eating them to prevent worsening of their condition.

  Sea squirts (Mytilidae) are generally considered "trigger foods," which may cause recurrence of pre-existing illnesses or worsen new conditions.

  "Trigger foods" refer to foods rich in nutrients, containing abundant foreign proteins or stimulating substances that may induce or exacerbate diseases. Sea squirts are nutrient-rich seafood containing large amounts of foreign proteins, thus they are classified as trigger foods. For healthy individuals, moderate consumption can provide certain health benefits and supply essential nutrients. However, people with skin disorders or allergies to seafood should generally avoid eating them to prevent worsening of their conditions.

  In daily life, apart from sea squirts, other aquatic products such as hairtail, yellow croaker, shrimp, and crab are also considered trigger foods.
