This year's rainy season "super long standby",
A lot of rain also makes the mushrooms in the wild grow wild.
Recently, the reporter learned from the Ningbo Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention that
It is common for citizens to be poisoned by eating poisonous mushrooms by mistake.
Disease control experts remind:
There is no effective way to identify poisonous mushrooms!
Do not pick, buy and eat wild mushrooms at will,
so as not to be poisoned.
A plate of dried mushroom stir-fried meat poured down a family of four
The reporter learned from the disease control department that mr. Fu's family of four, who lived in Hengxi Town, Yinzhou District, not long ago, was admitted to the hospital because of a plate of mushroom fried meat.
Mr. Fu is a native of Guizhou and has been working in Ningbo for many years. One night not long ago, he washed and dried the mushrooms he had picked from the wild and made a plate of fragrant dried mushroom stir-fried meat to eat with his wife, son and daughter.
After only 10 minutes of eating, Mr. Fu had abdominal pain and vomiting, thinking that he had eaten something unclean for lunch, and he did not take it too seriously.
Unexpectedly, within an hour, three other people developed the same symptoms one after another. "As soon as I saw that the situation was not right, I quickly contacted my relatives to take us to the hospital for treatment. At that time, the family's stomach hurt so much that they could not stand steadily. Mr. Fu told reporters.
Mr. Fu's family was taken to The Mingzhou Hospital of Zhejiang University. The emergency doctor carefully inquired about the condition and the onset of the disease, and highly suspected that the four people had eaten poisonous mushrooms by mistake, resulting in foodborne poisoning. After gastric lavage, diarrhea and symptomatic treatment, the family turned the crisis into safety.
Afterwards, the medical staff reported the situation to the Yinzhou District Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Disease control experts rushed to the hospital and the patient's home for inspection. Based on epidemiological investigations, clinical manifestations of patients, and suspicious food, the incident was considered to be acute poisoning caused by accidental consumption of poisonous mushrooms.
Similar incidents occur from time to time, and can be severe and fatal
Wild mushrooms are loved by people because of their high nutritional value and delicious taste. However, many wild mushrooms are poisonous, but the appearance is like the "twins" who eat mushrooms, and it is not uncommon to be poisoned every year due to accidental consumption of poisonous mushrooms.
The staff of the Yinzhou District Center for Disease Control and Prevention told reporters that the types of poisonous mushrooms are different, and the toxin components they contain are not the same, and the symptoms of poisoning caused by them are very complicated. There are 4 common types of symptoms of poisonous mushroom poisoning, which are divided into acute liver damage type, acute renal failure type, gastroenteritis type, and neuropsychiatric type.
"The poisoning of Mr. Fu's family is mainly based on the symptoms of gastroenteritis, which was alleviated after timely medical treatment. However, the general public must not have the wrong idea that 'gastroenteritis type mushroom poisoning is not fatal', some toxins contained in highly toxic mushrooms such as Amanita fungus can also cause gastroenteritis symptoms at first, and fatal poisoning symptoms will occur in the later stage, such as acute liver damage, kidney failure, etc. Experts from the Yinzhou District Center for Disease Control and Prevention said.
In addition to gastrointestinal reactions, poisonous mushrooms may cause hemolysis, acute liver damage, acute renal failure, and in severe cases can cause death. Some can also cause neurotoxicism, photoallergic dermatitis, and haematuria or proteinuria due to rhabdomyolysis.
Accidental consumption of poisonous mushrooms should be immediately induced to vomit
What should I do if I eat poisonous mushrooms by mistake? Poisoned people should immediately induce vomiting (pregnant women should use vomiting with caution, if the poisoned person appears comatose, it is not appropriate to artificially induce vomiting), you can first let the person who has eaten by mistake take a large amount of warm saline, and then stimulate the pharynx with your fingers to promote vomiting to reduce the absorption of toxins. Then immediately go to the hospital for emergency treatment, even if the symptoms are relieved, observe in the hospital for a period of time, so as not to miss the rescue opportunity.
If you are eating together at a table and have eaten the same mushrooms, you need to go to the hospital immediately for examination, regardless of whether the disease is onset or not.
So, how to see if wild mushrooms are poisonous? "It's important to remember that all methods of identifying poisonous mushrooms have certain limitations, and humans have not yet found a way to effectively identify poisonous mushrooms outside of the laboratory. Ordinary people must not judge whether wild mushrooms are poisonous based on personal experience or folk methods. Experts from the Ningbo Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention suggest that for the sake of health and safety, everyone should spontaneously and consciously not pick, buy, or eat wild mushrooms.
Experts said that at present, there is no specific drug for the treatment of poisonous mushrooms in the world, the only way is to treat it early, and clinical treatment is symptomatic supportive treatment and organ supportive treatment. Patients should wash their stomachs as early as possible or hemodialysis as early as possible to get rid of toxins. Family members should keep as much samples as possible of the mushrooms they eat to help with toxin identification.
