Those with mild symptoms will heal themselves through their own detoxification function after1~ 2 hours. If you eat 300 ~ 400 mg or more of Solanum nigrum, the symptoms will be very serious, manifested as water loss due to rising body temperature and repeated vomiting, as well as dilated pupils, fear of light, tinnitus, convulsions, dyspnea and decreased blood pressure. Very few people can die of respiratory paralysis. Therefore, patients with severe symptoms should be sent to hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
Attention must be paid to the prevention of potato solanine poisoning.
* Do not eat immature green potatoes.
* The slightly sprouted and blue parts and rotten parts on potatoes should be thoroughly removed. If the potato has a large blue area and many sprouting parts, you should throw it away.
* Cut peeled potatoes into small pieces and soak them in cold water for more than half an hour to dissolve the remaining solanine in water.
* Taking advantage of the weak alkalinity of Solanum nigrum, adding proper amount of rice vinegar when cooking potatoes, and decomposing Solanum nigrum by using the acidity of vinegar can play a detoxification role.
* Cooking potatoes should be crispy and thoroughly burned, and the solanine can be partially decomposed by using high temperature for a long time.
If you feel a little numb in your mouth when eating potatoes, it means that the potatoes still contain more solanine, so you should stop eating them immediately to prevent poisoning.
It has been reported that if pregnant women eat too much Solanum nigrum, it may cause fetal malformation, so pregnant women should be especially careful.
