Brine is also called halo-alkali, which is the liquid seeped out during the salt production process. The main component of salt brine is magnesium dioxide, followed by sodium chloride, potassium chloride, etc., and also contains trace elements. Used to make tofu (it coagulates protein). Salt brine has a strong stimulating effect on the skin and mucous membranes, has an inhibitory effect on the central nervous system, and can be poisoned to death.

After mistakenly taking this product, it will have a strong corrosive effect on the oral cavity, esophagus, and gastric mucosa, causing nausea and vomiting, dry mouth, stomach pain, burning sensation, abdominal distension, diarrhea, dizziness, headache, and rash. In severe cases, breathing stops, shock occurs, and even death.

The rescue methods for bittern poisoning are as follows: (1) Immediately feed a large amount of soy milk (you can also mix it with soybean powder and pour it in), so that the bittern in the stomach interacts with the soy milk to generate tofu, thereby eliminating the toxicity of the bittern. If soy milk is not available, rice soup can also be given. (2) Wash the stomach with warm water and induce vomiting. Repeat this many times to drain out the salt brine as much as possible. Then take batter, thick rice soup, egg white, milk, etc. to protect the gastrointestinal mucosa. (3) If respiratory paralysis occurs, artificial respiration can be performed; if shock occurs, acupuncture or acupressure on Renzhong, Yongquan and other points can be performed. After the above preliminary treatment, if the condition still does not improve, you should be sent to the hospital for further treatment as soon as possible
