The original name of the hollow vegetable Yongcai, also known as vine vine vegetable, water spinach,蓊菜, Tongxin Vegetable, heartless vegetable, urn vegetable, empty tube vegetable, bamboo leaf vegetable, open white trumpet-shaped flowers, the center of the stalk is empty, originating from China's Guangxi Yulin Bobai, in many parts of China, especially in the southern region is more often eaten vegetables, delicious taste, loved by the family. However, in the crowd is circulating in the hollow cabbage in the leech this statement, and then some people associated with may be parasitic? People's fear of eating cabbage spread rapidly. Can there really be leeches in hollow cabbage? If there is, accidentally eating leeches, will be its parasites?

Hollow cabbage is a common ingredient in home cooking

?

There are leeches in hollow vegetables?

The leech is a cold-blooded annelid that can grow and reproduce in both the north and south of China, and it mainly lives in freshwater reservoirs, ditches, paddy fields, lakes and marshes, and is most abundant in ponds rich in organic matter or unpolluted streams. Growth temperature of 10-40 ℃, northern areas below 3 ℃ in the soil into the hibernation hibernation period, the following year in March-April higher than 8 ℃ or so out of the sting activity. And cabbage mature in the summer, and cabbage is generally grown in the water more abundant soil, cabbage growth climate and environment for leeches is also very suitable. Therefore, it is not surprising that many people have reported that leeches have been found in the cabbages they bought. In fact, in the summer, many plants and vegetables in the paddy field are easy to get leeches this unwanted guest, but because other vegetables are relatively easy to clean up, and the hollow cabbage due to the reason that there are hollow stalks, not easy to clean up, and often found leech traces by everyone.

The head of the leech has suckers

Parasitize leeches by mistake?

The reason why we have a kind of fear of leeches, mainly because of its extraordinary blood-sucking power, and after being bitten by it, due to its secretion of hemolysin, often more than blood, so there are articles from time to time to include it in the 10 most terrifying animals.

The leech's looks are not exactly what you'd expect from an animal

?

First of all, for the leech will be parasitic in the human body, in fact, there is a certain bias, after all, leeches are not parasites, but because of its head and tail are suction cups can be adsorbed in the human body, and sucking the blood of people, may cause some of the human body's symptoms, or organ damage, so often mistaken by some masses is parasitic, leeches are generally not active in the human body, even if it is attached to the human skin, only the mouthpiece, but also in the human skin, the human body, the human body, the human body, the human body, the human body, the human body, and the human body. The skin, only the mouthpiece is to enter the skin to suck blood, for those who rumor that the leech will be through the skin into the human body of the whole body of the statement, but also some nonsense, leech into the human body is generally through the human body and the outside world connected to the cavity into the, then accidentally eaten on the leech into the human body of an important way.

General frying temperature is very high, in such a high temperature, even if the vitality of the leech, will soon die, and because the leech itself is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, so this time even if the leech accidentally eaten, the human body does not have much impact, if you accidentally ate into the leech was not killed into the stomach, the gastric acid in the gastric juice belongs to hydrochloric acid, hydrochloric acid is a strong acid, fasting, the leech is a strong acid, the leech is a strong acid. A strong acid, fasting, people's stomach acid is higher, the pH value is below 2, after the meal gastric juice is diluted, the pH value rises to 3.5. Therefore, through the digestive tract route, leech parasitism in the body of the claim is also not scientific. If you are worried about buying back the green vegetables with leeches, can be soaked in salt water for a while, so that the naked eye is not easy to see the small leeches will be detached from the leaves, floating in the water.

In this way, it seems that leeches are not as horrible as we think, for leeches parasitic in the human body, some experts pointed out that leeches parasitic in the respiratory tract so that the human body institutions are still damaged may occur, but the environment in the digestive tract for the growth of leeches is extremely poor, leeches in such conditions is impossible to survive, so we do not have to be so for the food! But in the cleaning of vegetables also need to clean, after all, eat to the bugs is not a pleasant experience, and vegetables on the residual of some pesticides on human health may also cause harm.

Because of its medicinal value, leech farming has also become a way of life for many people
