Mild person1~ 2 days self-healing; In severe cases, due to severe vomiting, there is water loss and electrolyte disorder, and blood pressure drops; Severe poisoning patients have coma and convulsions, and finally die due to respiratory center paralysis. If poisoning is found, gastric lavage should be done immediately with 1∶5000 potassium permanganate or 0.5% tannic acid or strong tea. Replenish liquid to correct water loss. Actively give oxygen and apply proper respiratory stimulants when breathing difficulties. Artificial respiration machine for respiratory center paralysis. Immature purple skin and germinated potatoes are inedible. A few germinated potatoes should be deeply dug to germinate, and soaked for more than half an hour. Abandon the soaking water, add water to soak thoroughly, and pour out the soup before eating. When cooking potatoes, you can add some rice vinegar, because its poisonous juice can be decomposed by acetic acid and become non-toxic.

Potatoes contain a kind of toxin called solanine. Generally, the solanine content of mature potatoes is very small and will not cause poisoning. However, in the immature or germinated potatoes with blue flesh and green hair, especially in the germinated parts, the toxin content is high, which is easy to cause poisoning, such as itchy throat, chest fever and pain, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea.

(1) Immediately after poisoning, induce vomiting and gastric lavage with strong tea or 1: 5000 potassium permanganate solution.

(2) Most of potato poisoning occurs in spring and early summer, because it is humid and warm in spring, which is not good for keeping potatoes and easy to cause germination. Therefore, to strengthen the storage of potatoes and prevent germination is the fundamental guarantee to prevent poisoning.

(3) If there are sprouted potatoes at home, the sprouted parts should be peeled off when eating, and the peeled potatoes should be soaked in cold water for more than half an hour to make the residual toxins dissolve in water. For those who have too many buds or the flesh is blue and purple, they can no longer be eaten. Putting a little vinegar when frying potatoes in the pot can accelerate the destruction of toxins and prevent poisoning.

The incubation period after potato poisoning is very short, usually tens of minutes to several hours. The first symptoms are often itching and burning sensation in the throat, followed by abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, tinnitus and fear of light.
