The diagnosis by the hospital turned out to be sepsis caused by bacterial infection.
Watching the baby stop diarrhea and even pull the anus to fester, the mother's heart is almost broken.
The culprit that caused the baby to get sick was actually more than 100 fresh earth eggs sent by grandma.
She has been very careful.
Because she takes care of the baby at home full-time, the mother cooks three meals a day for her children alone and doesn't eat with adults.
When the doctor told her it was the food, she didn't even admit it, because she still had the habit of recording, and showed the doctor photos of all the food she had eaten the day before her illness.
Then the doctor told her that it may be that the refrigerator has not been cleaned for a long time and has bred bacteria.
But my mother is still very strange. Although the refrigerator at home will not be cleaned every day, my aunt at home will clean it every time before the refrigerator is empty and replenished.
There is always a refrigerator cleaning and wiping three or four times a month, which is not to say that it has not been cleaned for a long time.
She finally remembered that before New Year's Day, her husband was driven out by the hospital because he went back to his hometown in Jinhua.
It was this time that the husband brought back 100 more earth eggs from his mother-in-law, each with fresh excrement.
On the day when she just got it back, she still thought that the smell of excrement was too strong for her aunt to wash all the eggs, but she was scolded by her mother and said that she had no common sense (detailed later).
Because the heating is on 24 hours at home, earth eggs can only be put in the refrigerator. She also specially cleared out a drawer of the refrigerator for special storage, but it was not sealed.
She is really careful about her children's food. Leftovers will be heated at high temperature, and the fruits taken out of the refrigerator will be soaked in salt water and then washed for the children.
But 100 the bacteria produced by chicken droppings of more than one soil egg seem to be indelible by salt.
Why can't eggs be washed?
Someone must think that since bacteria come from the filth attached to egg shells, wouldn't it be all right to wash them clean?
Why did the old man in the above article scold his daughter for having no common sense?
In fact, eggs are really not suitable for washing, and they are easy to deteriorate after washing.
The egg shell is not sealed, it is a kind of bone structure, and there are many tiny holes on it (there are many bubbles coming out of the egg shell when cooking eggs).
However, there is a layer of "frost-like colloidal film" outside the egg shell, which will seal the pores to prevent bacteria from entering and reduce the water loss in the egg.
Therefore, the eggs washed with water are like "streaking" and are always exposed to the air. Even with the protection of the refrigerator, they are easily invaded by bacteria and then deteriorate. (Of course, it is recommended to wash carefully before cooking.)
The eggs sold in the supermarket are very clean, because most egg factories will sort the eggs first and pack the eggs that are not contaminated with feces directly for sale.
Moreover, in many modern henhouses, eggs do not fall into chicken manure.
There are also some egg factories that will clean and disinfect eggs during processing, and finally apply an edible "protective film" on the surface of eggshells before entering the market.
These are all treatments that native eggs can't enjoy.
Then why do many people like to buy earth eggs?
Earth eggs, also known as free range eggs, are mainly fed by local chickens in the way of free-range farming, and they all eat natural food.
Moreover, earth eggs taste better and are more fragrant, so many people take it for granted that this is because there is no feed, no additives and no veterinary drugs, and such eggs are truly nutritious and the healthiest.
But what is the truth?
Are native eggs really more nutritious than foreign eggs?
In the Fuxin Farmers' Market in Kunming, a reporter visited the earth eggs sold here, only to see a wide variety and a variety of commodity names.
Vendors said that these eggs were laid by local chicken breeds with Chinese characteristics in the natural environment and belonged to the original ecology.
After that, I personally cracked a raw egg, only to see that the yolk is indeed redder than ordinary eggs. The vendor explained that the nutritional value of eggs depends on the diet structure of chickens.
Every farmer here has its own "secret recipe", and the chickens it feeds are definitely different from the broilers in the factory.
Vendors also said that foreign eggs are what restaurants like to buy, and they are spread early because they are cheap, but those eggs fed with pure feed will have a lot of hormones.
Many citizens have a special liking for the local eggs here, with most middle-aged and elderly buyers, followed by people who give gifts.
Is it really as good as the vendor said? With questions, the reporter came to the National Center for Food Quality Inspection and Testing, and conducted investigation and research on the products of "earth eggs" and "foreign eggs" sold in the market.
The results showed that there were no significant differences between protein, fat, amino acids, sodium, phosphorus and zinc.
For the public, the color of native egg yolk is more vivid because it takes a week for the egg yolk to form in poultry, and its color mainly depends on the food consumed.
When food is rich in pigments such as carotenoids, the color of egg yolk will be darker.
Consumers' love for dark yolk will, to some extent, encourage farmers to add approved natural extracts and synthetic pigments in the feeding process to cater to people's consumption psychology.
Even ordinary eggs are dressed up as "earth eggs" for sale by means of coloring egg shells.
China's agricultural sector has no distinction between "earth" and "foreign" eggs. In fact, the nutrition of these two kinds of eggs is almost the same. It is hard to say who has higher nutrition. If you have to say different, it may only be the difference in taste.
Eggs are nutritious, so be careful when eating them.
1, eating too many eggs, the kidneys can't stand it
Protein decomposition and metabolites produced by eating eggs will increase the burden on the liver and produce a large amount of nitrogen-containing waste, which will be excreted through the kidneys.
If you eat too much, the body doesn't need extra energy, and these nutrients will be converted into fat.
Therefore, eating too many eggs is not good for the liver and kidneys, and it is prone to "protein poisoning syndrome".
Patients with liver, gallbladder, nephritis, diarrhea or gastrointestinal dysfunction should control the intake of eggs to avoid increasing the burden on the kidneys.
However, some parturients are weak due to fatigue in the production process, especially those with low daily digestive ability, and they should not eat more eggs, otherwise indigestion and constipation will occur.
2. Not all foods can be mixed with eggs.
Eggs should not be cooked with sugar; Eggs can not be eaten with rabbit meat, otherwise it will cause diarrhea; Don't drink tea immediately after eating eggs, otherwise it will cause constipation.
Everyone knows these things, but I'm afraid you can't imagine that there will be some problems with the soybean milk and eggs that we usually match for breakfast.
Because when soybean milk is heated, it will produce a substance called "trypsin inhibitor", which will combine with protein and affect the absorption of protein by human body.
However, for cooked soybean milk, this inhibitor will be inactivated by high temperature, so it has little influence on protein's intake, but it should also be eaten in moderation.
3, egg storage is exquisite
It is best to store eggs separately in food bags or fresh-keeping boxes, separated from other ingredients.
If the eggs are particularly dirty, you can gently wipe them with a clean cloth before loading them, and remember to wash your hands in time after finishing.
Generally speaking, the effect is better when it is 2-5 (refrigerated in refrigerator), and the shelf life of eggs can reach about 40 days.
If stored at room temperature, it can be stored for 15 days in winter and 10 days in summer.
So don't buy too much at a time, and try to do it well to ensure safety and hygiene.
Compared with other foods, eggs are indeed very cost-effective in nutrition, but no matter how good the food is, it needs to be taken in moderation.
May every child be treated kindly!
