Can you imagine? A pair of almost sixty-year-old people were poisoned and hospitalized because they ate bean skins that expired half a year ago, and one of them almost died! This is a thrilling event that really happened in Xi'an.
Xiao Li (pseudonym), the daughter of the old man, said that her parents usually have a habit of eating leftovers, and that morning, they took a package of salted bean skin from the refrigerator, scalded it and ate it cold. As a result, in the afternoon, my father began to vomit and diarrhea, but did not tell her. At night, my mother also developed the same symptoms, but they didn't take it seriously. It was not until the next morning that Xiao Li found that the bean skin had been opened and refrigerated for most of the year, and the shelf life was only 180 days. She quickly took her parents to the hospital for examination.
Doctors diagnosed acute gastroenteritis caused by food poisoning. Among them, the father's condition was more serious, he developed hypotensive shock on the first day of hospitalization, and was transferred to the ICU for rescue in the early morning. Fortunately, they were treated in time and did not cause further harm. The doctor also told Xiao Li that if aflatoxin grew in the bean skin, it may cause liver cancer.
Xiao Li said that she usually cleans the food in the refrigerator regularly, but this time she ignored the package of bean skin. She hopes that through this incident, the majority of young people should be reminded to pay more attention to the elderly at home and educate them not to eat expired and spoiled food. Otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable.
