In the incident, the grandmother, mother and a 3-year-old child were poisoned by eating wild mushrooms and sent to the hospital, where they died of ineffective rescue. The two cats in the family were also poisoned by drinking the remaining mushroom soup.
Some villagers told reporters that on the day of the incident, they had seen the party Aunt Lin go up the mountain to collect mushrooms. The mushrooms collected by Aunt Lin are beige, which is not the same as the usual food. The villagers reminded her not to eat, but she did not expect such a tragedy.
Expert Visits:
These mushrooms on the mountain are highly poisonous
What exactly is this poisonous mushroom? Why is it so toxic?
Recently, the reporter, together with provincial experts, Meizhou Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Pingyuan County Health Bureau, Pingyuan County Cd-ronology Center and other relevant personnel, came to Pingyuan County Shangju Town Shenao Village Xiaoshe into the mountains to find mushrooms.
After 4 hours in the mountains, experts have found dozens of wild mushroom varieties among the many wild mushrooms. The reporter saw that these mushrooms either grew in piles of dead leaves or grew next to water zhen, with different colors and shapes.
Experts told reporters that many of these mushrooms are poisonous mushrooms. The toxin types of poisonous mushrooms are divided into: acute liver damage type, acute renal failure type, neuropsychiatric type, gastroenteritis type, hemolytic type, rhabdomyolysis type and photoallergic dermatitis type, etc., and different poisoning symptoms will occur after accidental ingestion.
Pingyuan County is rich in red mushrooms, and it is currently the high-yield season. Experts have found four red mushrooms on the mountain, two of which are poisonous and one of which is also deadly poisonous.
Poisoned 3 grandchildren
It is suspected to be this wild red mushroom
Experts told reporters that according to the symptoms of poisoning 3 grandchildren, it is likely that the poisoning of the 3 grandchildren is a sub-thin fold red mushroom with a deadly toxin, and the fatality rate of this highly toxic red mushroom is 70%.

Subsequently, the staff handed over the mushrooms picked from the mountain to the villagers for identification, and some of the villagers identified the wild mushrooms that the three grandchildren mistakenly ate were suspected to be sub-thin fold red mushrooms, which coincided with the experts' speculations.
Experts explain that the sub-thin fold red mushroom is highly poisonous, and a small flower can be fatal. After accidental ingestion, the human body will have gastrointestinal symptoms, symptoms of abdominal pain and diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, followed by rhabdomyolysis leading to respiratory failure, and finally or will be ineffective rescue death, there is no effective antidote.
What are poisonous mushrooms?
Poisonous mushrooms, also known as poisonous mushrooms, refer to large fungi that appear to be poisoned after people eat them. There are about 400 kinds of poisonous mushrooms in China, and there are more than 100 kinds in Guangdong, and the incidents of poisoning due to the accidental consumption of wild poisonous mushrooms occur from time to time every year, and the mortality rate ranks first in the classification of pathogenic factors for foodborne disease outbreaks.
Common poisonous mushroom species in Guangdong include white poisonous umbrella (deadly amanita), gray pattern amanita, white variant of yellow-lipped amanita, sticky-covered foot-covering mushroom, and clustered silk umbrella (clustered yellow-tough umbrella).
Most poisoned people
It is not that the existence of poisonous mushrooms is unknown
It's when eating mushrooms
Misled by the so-called method of discernment
Wrong way to identify poisonous mushrooms
Error one:
Brightly colored mushrooms are poisonous, not bright and non-toxic
There is no scientific basis for judging whether mushrooms are poisonous from color, and some wild mushrooms that are not colorful and do not look good are also poisonous. Like what:
Mediocre-looking but highly toxic:
In Guangdong, the white poison umbrella that caused a large number of poisons, pure and simple appearance, also known as deadly amanita, a white poison umbrella of about 50 grams (1 two) contains enough toxins to poison a 50 kg adult.
White poison umbrella
Bright colors highlight toxicity:
There are some who are not good at disguise, such as poisonous fly Amanita, and the gorgeous clothing is a clear warning that "I am poisonous".
Safety and beauty at the same time:
There are also mushrooms that are both beautiful and safe, and the taste is delicious, such as some red mushrooms.
Error two:
It is poisonous that can blacken silverware, garlic, rice, etc
Silver needle poison test is an ancient legend that has been passed down for thousands of years, and the principle is that silver reacts with sulfur or sulfide to form black silver sulfide. However, all poisonous mushrooms contain no sulfur or sulfides and do not darken silverware.
The claim that poisonous mushrooms discolor rice, garlic or cordyceps are entirely speculative, and there is no evidence that this phenomenon actually exists. Some experimenters once cooked with a deadly white poison umbrella and garlic, and the result was that the soup was clear, the garlic was snow-white, and the fresh fragrance was overflowing, which made people's appetites soar.
Error three:
Breaking open mushrooms has a poisonous milk or discoloration
Loose milk mushrooms and red milk mushrooms will flow milk when broken, but they are delicious edible mushrooms. Some porcini cross-sections turn blue and are also edible.
Error four:
Raw maggots or raw insect mushrooms are non-toxic
Many highly poisonous mushrooms also produce maggots or insects when they mature. Therefore, this statement is also unscientific.
Error five:
Boiled at high temperature, boiled and dried in the sun can detoxify
The toxin nature of poisonous mushrooms is usually very stable, and the general cooking methods such as steaming, boiling, stewing, burning or sun-driing processing cannot remove the toxins.
Special reminder: Even if you really recognize the non-toxic variety, in the wild, non-toxic mushrooms are often mixed with poisonous mushrooms, and it is easy to contaminate the poisonous mushroom hyphae. Therefore, even if the mushrooms eaten are non-toxic varieties, there is still a risk of poisoning.
What are the symptoms of accidentally eating poisonous mushrooms?
Poisonous mushrooms are very toxic, and the clinical manifestations of poisoning are complex and diverse.
Most of the symptoms of acute gastroenteritis such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain occur after accidental eating, blurred vision, as well as mental symptoms such as hyperactivity, mental depression, confusion, and hallucinations, and serious symptoms such as hemolysis, liver and kidney damage may occur.
Once similar symptoms appear after accidental ingestion, it is highly suspected of poisonous mushroom poisoning, and it is necessary to go to the hospital immediately for medical treatment, and must not delay, otherwise it is easy to cause serious consequences such as coma and even death.
Note: Be wary of poisoning "false healing period". After treatment, the symptoms of acute gastroenteritis gradually resolve or even disappear in some patients. However, after the toxin is absorbed by the intestine into the blood, it invades the parenchymal organs, and the condition will deteriorate rapidly after 1-2 days, and there will be liver, kidney, heart, brain and other organ damage, especially liver and kidney damage.
Therefore, when the initial symptoms of poisoning are relieved, they should still stay in the hospital for active treatment and observe for a period of time to ensure that their condition is stable and improved before being discharged.
What to do after poisoning occurs?
At present, there is no specific antidote to poisoning poisonous mushrooms, so after poisoning, you should immediately go to a regular hospital for treatment. In addition to:
Fasting: If you are unwell, stop eating mushrooms immediately.
Vomiting: Induce vomiting as soon as possible when the poisoned person is conscious. Vomiting can be caused by pressing the pharynx with a finger or pressing the tongue with an appliance. Try repeatedly and try to vomit out the food in the stomach to reduce toxin absorption.
Seek medical attention: People who have eaten mushrooms together after someone has been poisoned should seek medical attention regardless of whether they have symptoms of poisoning.
Sample retention: Properly store residual mushrooms and other foods so that medical staff can determine the cause of poisoning and symptomatic treatment as soon as possible.
Finally, again, I would like to remind everyone
Don't want to be poisoned by eating mushrooms by mistake
