There is a possibility of poisoning!
Can it still be poisoned?
Before, a hot search of "eating cold skin poisoned to death, and the sale of cold skin in Henan Province" made everyone shy away from cold skin.
As for the cause of poisoning, one theory says that an excess of borax was added to the cool skin; Another theory is that the cold skin was contaminated by bacteria and deteriorated, breeding rice fermented acid toxins, causing poisoning.
According to data provided by Guangxi CDC, in the 10 years from 1996 to 2005, there were 11 cases of food poisoning caused by the powder in eight counties in Guangxi, including Bama and Lingyun in Hechi and Baise alone, with a total of 77 people poisoned and 50 deaths.

What is Rice Fermented Acid?
In 1977, rice fermented acid was first discovered in spoiled fermented rice noodles in northeast China, which is a foodborne pathogenic bacteria. Rice fermented acid is a toxin produced by Burkholderia gladiolus that can cause food poisoning and even death, and 26 °C ~ 28 °C is its best toxin production temperature.
When food is contaminated with Burkholderia gladiolus, it will produce rice fermented acid, which can cause poisoning when consumed by humans. Rice fermented acid is extremely heat-resistant, even high temperature and high pressure can not decompose it, and the food contaminated by it is colorless and tasteless, and it is difficult to identify.

After poisoning, it often involves solid organs such as the liver, kidneys, brain, heart, and lungs. It can cause abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue and irritability in the poisoned person, and in severe cases, it can quickly cause liver and kidney damage and lead to multi-organ failure and even death.
Rice fermented acid is very toxic, only 1 mg can be fatal, and there is no antidote that can detoxify, clinical can only take supportive therapy, symptomatic treatment, can not be completely relieved. Therefore, the mortality rate after poisoning is extremely high, which can reach more than 40%.
How to prevent rice fermented acid toxin poisoning?
In daily life, there are three types of food that are easily contaminated by Pseudomonas coconut, namely: wet rice noodles, rice noodles, potato noodles, and cold skin; soaked fungus, white fungus; Foods made with fermented cornmeal, glutinous rice flour, sorghum flour, glutinous millet flour, corn starch, etc., such as glutinous rice balls, glutinous rice cakes, jelly powder, etc.
A common feature of these foods is that they need to be soaked or fermented for a long time when they are prepared, and this long-term humid environment provides a breeding ground for Pseudomonas coconut to multiply, allowing a large number of rice fermented acid toxins to accumulate.

Precautions for the prevention of rice fermented acid toxin poisoning:
1. Choose a regular restaurant.
2. Try to avoid homemade fermented pasta.
3. Pay attention to the production date and shelf life of the product. When buying the above-mentioned foods in bags in supermarkets and markets, you should carefully read the product labels and expiration dates, and observe their properties with your eyes to see if there are mold spots, black spots, pink spots, green spots, yellow spots, etc.
4. Buy bulk goods in small quantities.
5. Do not eat damp rice noodles, fungus, white fungus and other foods. At the same time, soak the fungus correctly, store the white fungus correctly, and clean it before soaking.
6. If you feel unwell, seek medical attention in time. The incubation period of rice fermented acid poisoning is 30 minutes ~ 12 hours, a few 1~2 days, and the longest is 3 days. If you feel unwell after eating food suspected of containing bacillic acid, you should immediately stop eating the suspicious food, induce vomiting as soon as possible, and try to discharge the stomach contents to reduce the absorption of toxins and damage to the body, and send them to the hospital for treatment in time.
