Who's picking up the bacteria?
In several provinces in southwest and southeast China, the abundant wild mushroom resources have produced a profession - fungus pickers. The task of picking up fungi has gone from the previous home to market sales, and the convenience brought by transportation has allowed wild mushrooms such as chicken fir to be transported to all parts of the country, forming an industrial chain, and these fungus pickers are also known as professional fungus pickers.
Since June, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other places have received abundant rainfall, and all kinds of wild mushrooms have sprung up.
According to the "Life Newspaper", because the fungus is cheap and the matsutake mushroom is difficult to find, the main target of the fungus picker will be on the chicken fir. A professional mushroom picker from Liangshan, Sichuan Province, said, "Every year, at least a few hundred people in our village go out, and acquaintances can be met everywhere on the mountain.
The professional fungus picker said that in the two or three months of the year, the fungus pickers earn as little as a few thousand yuan and as much as 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, "there are also tens of thousands of dollars a month, but it is a minority."
Although wild mushrooms are delicious, there is a risk of poisoning when eaten. Wild mushroom vendors said that the most feared is the toxic wild mushrooms, every day after the acquisition, will spend a lot of time to choose one by one, "do this line of basic knowledge of various fungi, otherwise do not dare to do this business."
However, wild fungal poisoning incidents are still frequent. There are more than 400 species of poisonous bacteria (including suspicious poisonous bacteria) recorded in China, more than 200 species in Yunnan, more than 50 common species, and more than 20 species of highly toxic.
According to Yunnan Network news, in the past 5 years, Yunnan has been poisoned by accidental ingestion of poisonous bacteria on average more than 400 times a year, poisoning more than 1,500 people and dying more than 30 people, which not only directly damages the physical and mental health of the poisoned people, but also causes huge economic losses to families and society, which is a prominent public health problem in Yunnan Province.
