Food poisoning is a common food safety problem in life. Food poisoning has occurred in many places, and it is easy to occur if you eat improperly in life. So what is easy to get food poisoning? What food is easy to get food poisoning? Some foods are prone to food poisoning if they are not cooked properly. Let's learn more about it.

1, germinated potatoes

When potatoes germinate or some surfaces turn black and green due to improper storage, poisoning often occurs after eating.

The toxin in germinated potatoes is mainly solanine, which is stable to heat, insoluble in water, corrosive and has strong mucosal stimulation, which can dissolve blood cells and paralyze the exercise and respiratory centers.

Poisoning by eating germinated potatoes is acute, and it occurs within 2-4 hours after eating, or within 10 minutes after eating. At first, the symptoms are itchy or burning sensation in the throat, burning or pain in the upper abdomen, and then severe nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea. The symptoms are gradually relieved in mild cases, such as dizziness, headache, irritability, dilated pupils, blurred vision, palpitation, sweating, convulsions and so on.

2, ergot

Ergot contains mycotoxin which can lead to food poisoning. Ergot is a disease fungus of cereal plants, and its mycelium begins to appreciate during the ear development period, thus forming ear wheat grains, that is, it has been damaged by malting, called ergot. Ergot is slender and triangular, with blunt edges, dark purple outside and white powder inside. People may be poisoned if they use grains such as wheat, rice and corn contaminated by ergot.

Acute ergot poisoning is mainly manifested as vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, general malaise, ant walking sensation, dizziness, insensitivity, slurred speech, myotonic spasm, dyspnea, etc. In severe cases, blood pressure may rise, body temperature may drop, pulse may slow down, heart failure, etc.

3. Kidney beans

Kidney beans, also known as lentils or kidney beans, are commonly eaten vegetables in summer and autumn, but they are not cooked thoroughly, such as cold salad, noodle code and fried food after blanching, which can easily lead to poisoning after eating.

The poison in kidney beans may be related to saponins, which stimulate gastrointestinal mucosa, lead to excessive secretion of saliva and gastric juice, and enhance liquidity, resulting in nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. The incubation period of onset is usually 2-4 hours, as short as 1 hour, and the elderly can reach 15 hours. Then nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headache, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms occurred, and the body temperature was normal, and most patients recovered within 24 hours.

4. Raw soybean milk

Raw soybean milk contains toxins. If raw soybean milk is not heated thoroughly, the toxins are not destroyed, which may cause poisoning after drinking.

At present, it is generally believed that the toxic substances contained in soybean milk are mainly caused by saponin, trypsin inhibitor or hemagglutinin. The trypsin inhibitor contained in uncooked soybean milk can inhibit the blood circulation of trypsin, stimulate the digestive tract and cause poisoning. Saponin is a glycoconjugate, which has a strong stimulating effect on gastrointestinal mucosa, so it can cause symptoms of gastroenteritis.

The incubation period of soybean milk poisoning is very short, usually 30 minutes to 1 hour, mainly manifested as nausea, vomiting, skin disease, diarrhea, abdominal pain, dizziness, fatigue and other symptoms, and generally no fever.

5, fresh day lily

The poisoning reason of fresh day lily is that fresh day lily contains colchicine, which can be oxidized into colchicine oxide after entering human body, which is very toxic.

Eating fresh day lily can cause throat symptoms, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, headache and other symptoms. Because toxic substances can damage the kidney, resulting in renal dysfunction, patients have a series of pathological changes such as urine closure and hematuria.

6. Cassava

Cassava contains flaxseed apricot glycoside, which can be hydrolyzed by its own flaxseed apricot enzyme to produce hydrocyanic acid and other substances. If it is not properly treated before raw or cooked food, it will also cause hydrocyanic acid poisoning and cause death. The symptoms of cassava poisoning are similar to cyanoside nut poisoning, and the course of disease develops slowly, which may be related to the fact that the hydrolysis of cyanoside contained in cassava can not be carried out in the strongly acidic stomach, but in the intestine.

The incubation period of cassava poisoning is generally 6- 12 hours. If you eat a lot and have a high toxic content, you can also have symptoms of poisoning after eating 1-2 hours. At first, you have symptoms such as bitterness in your mouth, salivation, dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, palpitation, frequent pulse and weakness of your limbs. In severe cases, people feel chest tightness, and have different degrees of dyspnea, unconsciousness in critical illness, weak breathing and coma.

7. Cottonseed oil

The crude cottonseed oil directly squeezed from raw cottonseed without alkali refining can cause poisoning. The pigment glands of cottonseed contain 20%-40% of free gossypol, which is very toxic and can damage the reproductive system, damage the testis of men, reduce sperm, amenorrhea of women and uterine atrophy. Besides free phenol, gossypol purple and gossypol green are also toxic in cottonseed. The content of free phenol in cottonseed is about 0. 15%-2.8%. When raw cottonseed is pressed for oil, most of it is transferred to oil, and the oil content can reach 1%- 1.3%. Eating this kind of oil can cause poisoning.

Gossypol poisoning occurs frequently in summer. The fever type is characterized by burning skin but no sweat, dizziness, fatigue, irritability, nausea and itching, and the hypokalemia type is characterized by limb weakness, numbness, thirst, palpitation and limb paralysis. Some patients have abnormal ECG.

8. Ginkgo

Ginkgo biloba is the fruit of Ginkgo biloba, and its toxic component is ginkgolic acid. Eating 10-50 ginkgo biloba continuously can cause poisoning. Immature ginkgo biloba is more toxic than mature ginkgo biloba, and the toxicity decreases after heating.

The incubation period of ginkgo poisoning is generally 1- 12 hours. The onset speed is related to the amount of food eaten and the age of the consumer. At first, digestive tract symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea and loss of appetite appear, and then nervous system symptoms such as high fever, irritability, fear, strange calls and convulsions appear, and limb rigidity and convulsions may occur, and then limbs will gradually become weak.

9, puffer fish

Tetrodotoxin is contained in puffer fish, and the toxin content is beneficial with the fish body part, sex, variety, season and growing waters. Generally speaking, the toxin content in male fish tissue is lower than that in female fish tissue, and the toxin content in blood and muscle is less, while the toxicity of fish eggs, ovaries, skins and livers is in UIQ.

After eating puffer fish, the main characteristics are nerve endings and nerve center paralysis, and the incubation period is generally 10 minutes -3 hours. At the beginning, the whole body is unwell, the face is flushed, the eyelids are drooping, the pupils are narrowed first and then dilated, and the respiratory system is obviously inhibited, as well as symptoms of acute gastroenteritis, followed by weakness of limbs, even muscle paralysis and nerve paralysis of upper and lower limbs, followed by motor nerve paralysis. When the amount of toxins is large, vagus nerve can also be used.

10, moldy sugarcane

Sugarcane is prone to mildew when stored in bad conditions, and it is easy to be poisoned after eating. Eupolyphaga sinensis is a sugarcane that is not fully mature at harvest, with low sugar content and dripping osmotic pressure, which is beneficial to the growth and reproduction of molds and other microorganisms. The molds in Arthrosporus are mainly responsible for mildew. They can multiply rapidly after polluting sugarcane and produce a strong toxin called 3- nitropropionic acid within 2-3 weeks.

After eating moldy sugarcane, it can damage people's central nervous system, cause brain edema and congestion of organs such as lung, liver and kidney. As a result, symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, convulsions, incontinence, and clenching teeth will occur, and in severe cases, coma will occur, which may lead to death due to respiratory failure.

1 1, what about food poisoning?

(1) What about lentil poisoning?

Lentils contain saponin and other harmful substances. If you eat unheated lentils, you can be poisoned within half an hour to several hours, showing nausea, vomiting and increased blood cells. There are many people who are poisoned by eating lentils that are stir-fried or cold. Those who are slightly poisoned can recover by themselves after rest, and it has a certain detoxification effect to use appropriate amount of licorice and mung bean decoction as tea.

(2) What about mushroom poisoning?

Once you are poisoned by eating, you should immediately induce vomiting, gastric lavage and catharsis. For those who are poisoned for a short time without obvious vomiting, they can first stimulate their tongue roots with fingers and chopsticks to induce vomiting, and then repeatedly lavage their stomachs with1:2000-5000 potassium permanganate solution or strong tea water and 0.5% activated carbon suspension. Let the poisoned person drink plenty of warm water or dilute salt water to reduce the absorption of toxins.

(3) What about bacterial poisoning?

Improper handling of food in the process of production, storage, transportation and sale will be contaminated by bacteria. Eating such food will lead to bacterial food poisoning. If the stomach contents are vomited after poisoning and vomiting, you can take it with ginger juice 1 spoon and sugar to stop vomiting. 4 to 5 cloves of raw garlic, eaten raw 2 to 3 times a day. Try to eat less greasy food for a few days.

(4) What about nitrite poisoning?

People who eat nitrite by mistake usually have chest tightness and cyanosis. Once nitrite poisoning occurs, it should be rescued immediately, and enema, gastric lavage and catharsis should be carried out quickly to let the poisoned person drink plenty of water. Remember that patients must stay in bed and keep warm. Patients should be placed in a bad environment with fresh air and good ventilation.

(5) What should I do if I take too much sleeping pills?

Taking too much sleeping pills can cause acute poisoning, with mild symptoms such as headache, lethargy, dizziness, nausea and vomiting. In severe cases, there will be symptoms such as lethargy, hypothermia and weak pulse. In the early stage of taking medicine, you can drink a few mouthfuls of light salt water first, and then induce vomiting; If the medicine has been taken for more than 6 hours, the cathartic should be taken orally to promote the discharge of the medicine; Oxygen can be given when conditions permit, and it can also stimulate the acupoints such as Renzhong, Yongquan, Hegu and Lily.
