Precautions for children eating loach generally include: 1. Ensure the loach is fresh when children consume it, as spoiled loach may contain bacteria or toxins that could harm a child's health. 2. Although loach is a high-protein, low-fat food, excessive consumption may lead to indigestion and adverse reactions such as abdominal pain and diarrhea. 3. Some children may be allergic to loach; therefore, when trying it for the first time, only a small amount should be given, and close observation should be made for any signs of allergic reaction.
