In addition, eating more litchi is easy to cause litchi disease. The essence of litchi disease is a kind of hypoglycemia. Litchi contains a lot of fructose. Fructose is quickly absorbed into the blood through the capillaries of gastrointestinal mucosa, and must be converted into glucose by invertase in the liver before it can be directly used by the human body. If you eat too much litchi, too much fructose will enter the human blood, and the invertase that "converts" fructose will be in short supply. In this case, a large amount of fructose is filled in blood vessels, but it cannot be converted into glucose that can be used by human body. At the same time, eating too much litchi affects appetite, which makes people unable to get the necessary nutritional supplements, leading to insufficient glucose in human blood, which will lead to litchi diseases.
The common clinical manifestations of litchi disease are dizziness, palpitation, fatigue, pale face and cold skin. Some patients also feel thirsty and hungry, or have symptoms of abdominal pain and diarrhea. Some severe patients may suddenly fall into coma, paroxysmal convulsions, weak and rapid pulse, pupil contraction, irregular breathing, intermittent or sighing, pale face, cyanosis, arrhythmia and blood pressure drop. Litchi should be treated actively once it becomes ill. For those who have only mild symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue and sweating, glucose water or white sugar water can be taken to correct hypoglycemia and supplement glucose necessary for life. If severe litchi disease such as convulsion, collapse or shock occurs, it should be sent to the hospital for treatment in time. Intravenous injection or intravenous drip of high concentration glucose can quickly relieve symptoms and leave no sequelae after cure.
