The poisoning incident in Jixi, Heilongjiang Province occurred on June 5, 2020. In Jidong County, Heilongjiang Province, a family had a dinner and made sour soup. However, the corn flour made with sour soup was left for too long, which led to the collective poisoning of the family, and nine people who ate the food died of poisoning.
As soon as the incident came out, many people were very concerned about the cause of poisoning. After investigation, the fermented rice flour eaten by this family contains a lot of mycotic acid, which is caused by mildew and deterioration of corn flour. However, local residents usually choose fresh ingredients when making this kind of food, which will not be stored for a long time. Water will be changed frequently during fermentation, which can reduce the existence of pathogenic bacteria. However, this kind of bacteria is also easy to produce during corn fermentation, so it is recommended not to eat fermented rice and pasta as much as possible.
The toxin of this bacterium is quite severe, especially in summer, when the weather is hot, this bacterium is often easy to appear, and it is not afraid of high temperature. Once poisoned, the mortality rate is still very high. At present, there is no particularly effective detoxification drug in the hospital, so it is very important to go to the hospital as soon as possible to help the toxic food excrete.
Food safety is a very important issue. Also try to avoid eating some foods that are easy to cause poisoning. If possible, try to cook at home. For moldy and expired food, you must not continue to eat it, nor can you eat food that has been left for too long. There are security risks.
