First, moldy sugarcane will turn into red hearts. Moldy sugarcane will contain sugarcane knots, which is the cause of poisoning. Sugarcane is more prone to mildew when stored in dark and humid places. This kind of sugarcane will produce 3- nitropropionic acid, which is extremely toxic and rapid. When sugar cane has red hearts, it means that it is infected with germs. Don't eat any more.
Second, don't eat sugar cane with alcohol and sour taste. When sugar cane has alcohol and sour taste, it means that sugar cane has mildew. Don't eat sugarcane at this time. After the sugarcane is moldy, it turns sour due to the fermentation of mold, and has some wine flavor. This kind of sugarcane is easy to cause cancer, such as liver cancer and intestinal cancer.
After the smell of alcohol, the first aid measures after sugarcane poisoning will show nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, eye worms, and even coma or even death in severe cases. Therefore, if you find sugarcane poisoning, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible, go to gastric lavage and enema as soon as possible, and excrete the poison in your body. At present, there is no good treatment for the poison in moldy sugarcane, so we must pay attention to it when choosing sugarcane, and we can't choose moldy sugarcane.
When selecting sugarcane, choose sugarcane with good luster, no mildew and no red spots. I also smelled sugar cane. If it smells of wine and sour, don't buy it again. This means that sugarcane is moldy and contains toxins, and people are easily poisoned after eating it.
