Mushroom lung, also known as mushroom worker's lung, mushroom asthma, etc., is an allergic lung disease produced during mushroom cultivation and belongs to the category of allergic pneumonia. According to the measurement, there are 1.6 billion actinomycetes spores per cubic meter in the air of edible fungi cultivation shed. When people work in such an environment, fungus spores can easily cause a series of pathological changes in people's respiratory system. If not treated in time, it will develop into chronic dyspnea, resulting in loss of labor ability. Therefore, to cultivate edible fungi, we must prevent the occurrence of "mushroom lung"!
Because we grow mushrooms, mushrooms will produce spores when they grow, that is, the seeds of mushrooms. If they are harvested too late or under the conditions of high temperature, strong light and low humidity, mushrooms will produce a large number of spores. When people go into the mushroom shed to harvest and spray water, they will inhale a large number of spores into their lungs, which will lead to spore allergy. For example, dizziness, nausea, lethargy, low-grade fever, cough with yellow phlegm and weakness of limbs are all allergic symptoms. If the spores decrease after the mushrooms are picked, our symptoms will be alleviated.

To prevent mushroom lung, it is necessary to avoid or reduce the inhalation of fungus spores as much as possible. This means that during the mushroom growing period, you must not pick mushrooms in the daytime, but try to pick mushrooms at night. Before picking mushrooms, spray water into the mushroom shed to increase the humidity, and wet the mask before picking mushrooms.
If people with spore allergy have symptoms of allergy or poisoning, they can take oral antiallergic drugs such as chlorpheniramine and chlorpheniramine to leave this environment, and the symptoms will be relieved after three to five days. Mushroom growers should pay attention to prevent occupational diseases and produce healthy food.
