Because generally speaking cooking them turns it into a disgusting, tasteless, rubbery dish.
They're best fresh with lemon.

In fact, most diseases that can travel from a host of one species to a host of another species tend to be *more* fatal. The disease usually has the interest to keep the host alive for as long as possible to spread around and gather more resources, they just fuck this up when they get introduced to another species with a different immunity system.

This is how many of the most devastating plagues to.. Plague humans have come to be, really. If it has anywhere near 50% fatality rate, you can just assume it evolved in a different species and then jumped species.
