Do you know this wild vegetable?
It's called - 楮不揪, also called the mallet
Its name has often appeared in the circle of friends recently, but many people don't know it, and its name can always be heard in emergency dermatology clinics in recent days.
On April 7, at 1:25 a.m., an elderly man hurriedly entered the No. 8 clinic of the emergency department of Henan Provincial People's Hospital.
"Doctor, I feel like my throat is clogged!" I saw her panting after a few steps, and she opened her mouth wide and breathed hard.
Laryngeal edema, redness, itchiness, rash of the eyes, neck, hands, etc......
Dermatologist Hao Yanzhao found that the old man was in anaphylactic shock! If not treated in time, the consequences would be unimaginable!
It was the second patient of his kind that night.
After careful questioning, it was learned that the old man had the same experience as the previous patient: he ate the unique spring wild vegetable "楒 Bu Pull" that night.
However, the previous patient also had symptoms such as stomach pain, abdominal pain, and increased airway secretions.
The medical staff immediately treated the patient, and the symptoms of severe allergy were finally effectively alleviated and recovered.
What is particularly worrying is that dermatologists have seen many of these patients on their night shifts in the emergency department over the past few days.
"A few days ago, I was on the night shift in the emergency department, and I rescued 3 patients who suffered from anaphylactic shock in one night. Wang Jianbo, deputy chief physician of the Department of Dermatology, said that the most serious patient that night had laryngeal edema and blood pressure drop, and was on the verge of suffocation when he visited the hospital.
Special reminder!
Recently, a large number of wild vegetables such as Luo Bu Luo have been on the market, and many people are rushing to taste "fresh", but this kind of "wild meat" that is not often eaten is easy to cause allergies, and the symptoms are relatively serious.
Expert Advice:
1. People with allergies should try not to eat.
2. Seek medical attention in time if you have allergic symptoms
People who eat wild vegetables for the first time must seek medical attention as soon as possible if they have allergy-related symptoms.
Severe allergies can lead to laryngeal edema, difficulty breathing, and even life-threatening.
3. Be vigilant in the presence of abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting
Some patients experience abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms after eating, which is mistaken for poisoning, but it is actually a manifestation of allergies.
You should seek medical attention as soon as possible and do not take medication without authorization.
