Why are green beans poisoned? Green beans contain a substance called erythrocyte agglutinin, which can cause poisoning after eating. This substance can be decomposed and destroyed when it is heated, and it loses its activity, so green beans must be fried and cooked before they can be eaten. ?
Symptoms of kidney bean poisoning The incubation period of kidney bean poisoning is tens of minutes to several hours, generally not more than 5 hours. The main symptoms are gastroenteritis such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea, accompanied by nervous system symptoms such as headache, dizziness and cold sweat. Sometimes numbness in limbs, burning sensation in stomach, palpitation and backache. The course of disease is usually several hours or 1- 2 days, and the recovery is good. If the poisoning is deep, it needs to be sent to hospital for treatment. What should I do if green beans are poisoned 1. Those who are slightly poisoned can heal themselves without treatment after vomiting and diarrhea. Because there is no specific medicine for kidney bean poisoning at present, we can only take symptomatic treatment, such as vomiting, catharsis, gastric lavage, infusion, diuresis and other measures to eliminate poisons, so the poisoned person should still be sent to hospital for treatment, and don't take drugs indiscriminately.
2. If the symptoms are mild, you only need to lie still and rest. You can drink boiled sugar water or strong tea water several times (do not use it for people with severe vomiting, stomach problems or diabetes), and if necessary, you can take sedatives such as diazepam and hypnotic.
3. Severe poisoning, if vomiting, dehydration, or hemolysis, should be promptly sent to the hospital for treatment.
4. The folk side uses licorice and mung bean as tea, which has a certain detoxification effect.
How to prevent green beans poisoning experts pointed out that the method to prevent green beans poisoning is actually very simple. First, all green beans should be cooked and stewed thoroughly. The amount of green beans processed in the collective canteen should not exceed half of the pot capacity. After frying in oil, add a proper amount of water, add the pot cover to stew for about 10 minutes, and turn the green beans constantly with a shovel to make it evenly cooked by heating. You can also cook with water before frying in oil to ensure safety. Green beans change from hard to soft after being cooked, and the color changes from bright green to dark green. They have no bean smell when eaten. As long as they are cooked and stewed thoroughly, they will not cause poisoning. Second, we should pay attention not to buy or eat old green beans.
