In this era of information explosion, the combination of influencers and food can always quickly attract a lot of attention. However, when this combination crosses the boundaries of security, controversy ensues. Recently, a female influencer with more than 700,000 followers posted a video of eating wild mushrooms raw on a short video platform, which quickly sparked widespread controversy. This incident not only made the wild mushroom "Seeing Hand Green" a hot spot on the Internet, but also once again pushed the safety of wild mushroom consumption to the public, let us continue to watch.
Where are the boundaries of gastronomic exploration?
Food exploration, in essence, is a brave attempt at unknown ingredients and the ultimate pursuit of taste buds. However, when this exploration ignores the dangers of the ingredient itself, it can turn into a disaster. The fearlessness shown by the female influencer in the video, and even a playful attitude towards the possible risk of poisoning, is undoubtedly a blurring of the boundaries of gastronomic exploration.
"Miteba" is not an ordinary ingredient, but a wild mushroom that contains toxins. This fungus turns blue when touched or crushed by the hand, hence the name "see hand blue". It belongs to the genus Boletus and contains a variety of varieties, each of which may contain different toxins. In Yunnan, the "kingdom of wild mushrooms", although the locals have rich experience in eating, they are also well aware of the dangers of seeing hand greens, and never eat them raw or undercooked.
The controversial nature of influencer behavior
The behavior of female Internet celebrities in the video is undoubtedly a kind of misleading to the public. Not only did she eat it raw, but she also showed a flippant attitude towards this behavior in the video. Although she writes at the end of the video, "Listen to my advice, don't eat raw mushrooms if you're fine", this kind of after-the-fact reminder obviously can't offset the negative impact of her previous actions.
Many netizens pointed out that this kind of behavior of eating raw hand green is extremely dangerous, and it is easy to induce hallucinations, dizziness, nausea and other poisoning symptoms, and may even lead to more serious consequences. Some netizens questioned whether this kind of behavior of disregarding safety in order to attract attention should be condemned and stopped.
Seeing Teba: The coexistence of deliciousness and danger
It has a long history of eating in Yunnan, and its unique taste and aroma are loved by the locals. However, behind this delicacy lies a huge danger. If it is not cooked properly or undercooked, the toxins in the hands can cause damage to the human body. In recent years, with the popularity of Jianshou Qing on the Internet, more and more people have begun to try to eat this "Internet celebrity mushroom", but it is also accompanied by a number of poisoning incidents.
According to media reports, porcini poisoning accounts for more than half of the wild mushroom poisoning incidents that occur in Yunnan Province every year. As a kind of porcini mushroom, the danger of seeing hand green is self-evident. However, some young people, out of curiosity or thrill-seeking, turn a blind eye to this, and even deliberately try to eat raw or undercooked Jianshou Qing, which is undoubtedly playing with their own lives.
The right posture for gastronomic exploration
Culinary exploration is a positive attitude towards life, but it must be done in a way that is safe to do. When it comes to ingredients like wild mushrooms, we should be in awe and strictly follow the rules of eating. First of all, make sure that the ingredients are from a reliable source and avoid accidentally eating poisonous or spoiled wild mushrooms. Secondly, cook thoroughly during the cooking process to ensure that the toxins are completely destroyed. Finally, if you experience any discomfort after consumption, you should seek medical attention immediately and inform your doctor about what ingredients you have consumed.
For Internet celebrity bloggers, they have a large number of fans and influence, and they should take on the corresponding social responsibility. When posting food-related videos, you should pay attention to the authenticity and safety of the content to avoid misleading the public or causing adverse consequences. If you do want to try something new or how to cook it, you should do so only after you fully understand its safety and feasibility.
epilogue
The video incident of the female influencer eating raw and seeing the green hand reminds us once again that while food exploration is fun and exciting, it must be done on a safe premise. We should condemn and stop those who disregard safety for the sake of attracting attention. At the same time, we should also strengthen the popularization of science, education and guidance of wild mushrooms and other ingredients, and improve the public's safety awareness and self-protection ability. Only in this way can we enjoy our food while protecting our health and life.
