The latest news on December 10 shows that a health incident was reported in China**. In Jiangmen, Guangdong, a man was rushed to the hospital's intensive care unit (ICU) for receiving** due to gastrointestinal problems and confusion. Despite the best efforts of the doctors, it was still impossible to identify him after several days, and he remained in a coma, with a bluish purple appearance on his face, hands and feet.
Upon further examination, the doctor found that his blood was abnormally coloured, and one co-worker recalled that the patient had eaten overnight leftovers, including oysters, cabbage and chrysanthemum. Combining this information, doctors eventually diagnosed him with nitrite poisoning.
Fortunately, after the hospital's targeting**, the man woke up the next day and gradually**.
Doctors warn that even if leftover food is stored in the refrigerator, nitrite levels can rise, and it is difficult to eliminate them when heated. They stressed that the cost of hospital ICUs is high, so it is advisable for everyone not to risk eating leftovers.
Experts also point out that there are two aspects that need to be considered when deciding whether to consume overnight dishes: first, the risk of chemical food poisoning, that is, the nitrate in the food is reduced to nitrite under the action of bacteria, and the nitrite content will increase over time;Secondly, the risk of bacterial food poisoning, even if the food is refrigerated in the refrigerator, can only inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria, but it does not completely kill the bacteria. Some cold-tolerant bacteria may continue to multiply in the refrigerator and may cause food poisoning after reaching a certain amount.
For this reason, experts recommend avoiding overnight dishes as much as possible, spacing out meals at most if they must be consumed, and reheating thoroughly before eating to kill bacteria that may be present.
