In daily life, fungus is a familiar food.
It is rich in a variety of amino acids, as well as protein, iron and vitamins, whether it is cold or hot stir-fried, the taste is crisp and tender, delicious, with the reputation of vegetarian meat.
However, it is precisely because of this bland ingredient that sometimes if you do not pay attention, it will cause poisoning incidents.
Another poisoning case? Big Mom ate soaked fungus for 2 days and lived in the ICU the next day
Recently, Aunt Wang of Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, was poisoned by eating fungus by mistake, and she turned over the black fungus that had been soaked in the refrigerator for 2 days to prepare for cold mixing.
As a result, abdominal pain symptoms appeared not long after eating, the next day the condition was more serious, the family rushed to take her to the hospital for treatment, after examination, it was found that Aunt Wang's liver and kidney function deteriorated, and she needed to undergo kidney dialysis treatment immediately.
After the rescue of medical staff, Aunt Wang was finally out of danger of life.
Why does eating fungus with good ends cause poisoning?
First, the foaming method is wrong
The fungus itself does not contain toxins, and there have been rumors that the fungus contains a large amount of nitrite, which will be poisoned after eating, which is incorrect.
The reason why there is poisoning by eating fungus is mainly because the method is incorrect when soaking wood ear fungus, when soaking wood ear fungus, the water of soaking wood ear has not been replaced, and the foaming time is very long.
Especially when it is hot, the fungus is prone to stickiness and odor, if you continue to eat such fungus, it will lead to poisoning.
Second, breed rice yeast acid
Long-term placement of fungus in water will produce Pseudomonas cocos, which is not toxic, but it will release rice yeast acid, which is highly toxic, over a long period of soaking.
Even after heating, can not destroy the toxicity of this bacterium, once eaten such fungus, it will lead to poisoning, mild nausea, diarrhea, vomiting and other symptoms, serious will cause kidney, liver and other organ damage, directly threatening human life.
This rice yeast acid does not have any antidote, can only be treated with vomiting, gastric lavage, once the poisoning is serious, it will threaten the safety of life.
How to foam fungus to be safe?
The most important point is that ----- the foaming time should not be too long.
The time of soaking of fungus can not exceed 2 hours, at least once every hour to replace the water, once found that the surface of the fungus appears mucus, and the water soaked in fungus is also turbid, then such fungus has deteriorated, can not continue to eat.
Whether it is cold water or hot water, the fungus can be soaked after it is soft, if you accidentally soak more, the unused fungus also needs to improve the plastic wrap, put it in the refrigerator for refrigeration, and do not refrigerate for too long.
These misunderstandings of the fungus also need to be corrected!
1, fungus can lower blood sugar, blood lipids?
Some studies have found that the black fungus polysaccharides in the fungus have certain hypolipidemic and hypoglycemic effects.
However, the black fungus polysaccharide extracted by these institutes is extremely high concentration, which is not the same as eating wood ear fungus directly, and the amount of wood ear fungus itself is not much, if you want to rely on eating wood ear fungus to achieve the effect, it is not a meal or two to eat.
2. Can the fungus clear the lungs?
Although the fungus is rich in dietary fiber, it is often known as the "scavenger of food digestion", but eating the fungus cannot remove the haze in the lungs.
It should be known that PM2.5 in the haze enters the lungs through the respiratory tract, which causes respiratory symptoms, while eating fungus enters the digestive tract, and the two go their own way, not to mention the so-called "clearance".
3. Patients with bleeding tendencies cannot eat fungus?
Some people believe that the polysaccharide components in the fungus have "anticoagulant effects" and can activate blood. Patients with bleeding tendencies should not consume it.
But in fact, at present, no cases of bleeding caused by the consumption of fungus have been found, and the anticoagulant effect has appeared in the experiment, most of which are extracted from high concentrations of fungus polysaccharide components.
If you are really worried about whether there will be bleeding, then in the special period, you can avoid eating fungus and change to other vegetables and fruits or fungi.
