"California Dungeness Crab consumers are getting closer to having crab meat back on the table. On Thursday the state lifted its three month health warning on eating them.The ban was put in place by California's Department of Health in November due to excessive levels of domoic acid, a potentially lethal neurotoxin when consumed. The Department of Health reports\u00A0 domoic acid levels have now declined to undetectable levels.The good news for crabbers and crab consumers comes with a caveat: The Dept. of Public health urges people to remove crab guts before cooking them. It also recommends boiling or steaming crab instead of frying or broiling them.Thursday's announcement does not mean that commercial crabbers can get back to business. The State Department of Fish &amp; Wildlife still has to say when commercial crab boats can head out to sea.In addition, the health warning on rock crab remains in effect for crab caught in waters off the Santa Cruz coast and areas north.Details on the entire advisory can be read at\u00A0 https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Pages/NR16-007.aspx\u00A0"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
