"Picking mulberries is such a pleasure, especially when you share them with your neighbors. "
Lin Tao said, he had just returned from an orchard in the suburbs, carrying two large baskets full of mulberries, and the black and purple fruits were shining with an attractive luster.
Lin Tao is a secondary school geography teacher who enjoys nature in his spare time, especially in the orchards in the suburbs.
Wash the mulberries, Lin Tao plans to share some for the neighbors to taste. When he delivered fresh mulberries to Granny Zhang's house across the door, he happened to meet Granny Zhang, who had just been discharged from the hospital.
Granny Zhang's body was weak, but her eyes sparkled with joy. "This mulberry looks so fresh, thank you, Lin Tao. She took the mulberry and said with a smile.
The two then chatted about the recent events in the community. Granny Zhang mentioned the sad news that a seven-year-old girl in the neighborhood died three days later after eating a common food that caused serious health problems.
Lin Tao was shocked, "How is this possible? What did she eat?"
Granny Zhang sighed, "I heard it's a lychee." She suddenly had a stomachache after eating a lot of lychees, and her condition took a turn for the worse after she was taken to the hospital. ”
In fact, lychee contains an ingredient called "hypoglycemic lychee toxin", which can easily trigger symptoms of hypoglycemia if consumed in large quantities on an empty stomach, especially at night, and is especially dangerous for children.
This phenomenon, medically known as "lychee disease", has initial symptoms such as vomiting, headache and stomach pain, and in severe cases, acute encephalitis and even death.
The unfortunate girl, named Cai Xinyi, ate a lot of lychees without eating anything else that day.
A few hours later, Xinyi began to feel dizziness and abdominal pain, which her parents didn't pay much attention to at first, thinking it was just ordinary indigestion.
But then her condition deteriorated rapidly, she developed convulsions and a coma, and she was rushed to the hospital.
The hospital immediately resuscitated her, including glucose supplementation for hypoglycemia, but her brain was severely affected because she was already ill when she arrived at the hospital.
Despite the doctor's best efforts, Xinyi passed away three days later.
At the hospital, many doctors mentioned that they have seen many similar cases, and many parents are not aware of the potential risks of lychee.
Especially during the lychee harvest season, many parents will let their children enjoy this delicious fruit to the fullest, but ignore its potential harm.
This incident not only caused a sensation in the medical community, but also made many parents reflect on how to safely let their children eat fruit.
Doctors recommend that when eating lychee or other fruits that are high in sugar, it is best to make sure that your child has eaten other foods and avoid eating large amounts on an empty stomach.
After this incident, Lin Tao began to notice that parents in the community became more cautious about choosing snacks and fruits for their children.
They began to inquire more about and learn more about the nutrition and potential risks of food, hoping to avoid similar tragedies from happening again.
As for Lin Tao, due to his work, he is often exposed to geographical and environmental knowledge, and has an in-depth understanding of food sources and environmental factors.
He decided to open a panel discussion on food safety and environmental protection in the school to educate children on how to choose and eat a variety of foods safely.
This incident also made Lin Tao realize that as an educator, he has a responsibility to teach students not only geography, but also practical knowledge in life, especially those important information that may affect their health.
This tragedy is a reminder that the risks that can be hidden behind ordinary foods cannot be ignored. How to ensure the safety of us and our families while enjoying the delicious taste that nature has given us is something that everyone should consider.
