After eating half a catty of beans, he was taken to the hospital.

Seventeen-year-old Tingting (not her real name) is from Shandong, and she followed her family to start a small business in Hangzhou after graduating from high school. Her parents are old and have a daughter, and they love her very much, but recently the grandparents of the family have been sick, and her parents have rushed back to their hometown to take care of the elderly.

Tingting didn't know how to cook, and she was uncomfortable eating outside, so she moved the idea of cooking by herself. If you want to be nutritious and healthy, cold vegetables are the most preferred, she left the two cucumbers and half a catty of raw beans at home, and did not blanch or stew, but washed them directly, dipped them in sweet noodle sauce and ate them, and they were satisfied with a meal.

As a result, in less than half an hour, Tingting began to have stomach pain, her chest tightness, palpitation, numbness in her limbs, and dizziness and headache after taking two steps. Tingting hurriedly called her boyfriend and sent her to the emergency department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine.

Gastric lavage, catharsis, electrolyte supplementation, ......After a meal, Tingting's discomfort was relieved, and the "alarm" of food poisoning was lifted. She really didn't know that eating raw beans would be poisoned!

Chief Physician Lu Yuanqiang, Director of the Emergency Department, explained that carob contains toxins such as saponins and red blood cell lectins, and the saponins decomposed from saponins can strongly stimulate the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract, causing local congestion, swelling, and inflammation, resulting in nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrheaErythrocyte lectin is high in leguminous plants, it is found by humans because it can coagulate red blood cells and cause coagulation toxicity, after eating, it can combine with specific parts of the surface of small intestinal cells, affecting the function of the small intestine, bringing poisoning symptoms. And the beans that have been left for a long time will also produce nitrite, which can also cause poisoning.

Beans can be eaten, but they should be eaten like this.

In fact, not only Tingting, but all year round, the emergency department will receive patients who eat raw beans or are not fully cooked and poisoned. Most of them have a good prognosis, and the course of the disease is usually a few hours or days.

Doctor, I can't throw up when I want to, my stomach hurts so badly but I can't pull it out!Under questioning, experts in the emergency department learned that Tingting had eaten half a catty of raw beans, and through careful examination, other triggers were ruled out, and it was confirmed that she was suffering from food poisoning caused by eating raw beans.

As a 'national vegetable', everyone should eat it or eat it. Before eating, you must remember to cook it thoroughly. Director Lu Yuanqiang emphasized that when buying, you can choose tender beans that are easier to cook, and there is another action that is particularly important - blanching, blanching raw beans with boiling water for 5 to 10 minutes before cooking, which can completely destroy the toxins in the beans.

In addition, the strands on both ends and sides of the beans should be removed, as these parts are toxic and unpalatable. Whether it is fried, fried, fried, stewed, or cold, it must be heated until the beans lose their original raw green color, and there is no beany smell when eating.

In particular, it is worth mentioning that although the oil temperature is very high, it is easy to be heated unevenly, especially when the cooking amount is large (such as eating banquets, etc.), it is not easy to cook, and it is easy to cause poisoning to many people, so it must be fully heated and cooked!

If the poisoning is not long and the symptoms are mild, you can use your fingers or chopsticks to stimulate the base of the tongue to induce vomiting, you can drink a large amount of warm water to induce vomiting by yourself, and those with moderate or higher poisoning can be sent to the hospital for treatment in time.

Be on the alert!Improper handling of these types of food can harm you.

1. Vegetables rich in oxalic acid.

Including: amaranth, purslane, spinach, fresh bamboo shoots, coconut white, bitter gourd and other bitter vegetables.

Too much oxalic acid will affect the body's absorption of nutrients such as calcium and iron, and even increase the risk of stones and cause damage to the kidneysOxalic acid dissolves in water, and most of the oxalic acid can be removed during the blanching process.

2. Vegetables with high nitrite.

Including: most of the leafy vegetables such as celery, fennel, artemisia, toon, etc.

It is best to blanch for 1 minute before eating, in addition, it is best not to store this kind of vegetables for too long, the longer you leave it, the more nitrite, remember to eat fresh.

3. "Eat raw and poisonous" vegetables and fruits.

Raw ginkgo biloba (ginkgo seeds) contains hydrocyanate toxins, fresh daylily contains colchicine, and tapioca tubers contain cyanogenic glycosides, so be sure to cook them.

Fourth, sprout poisonous vegetables.

After the potatoes sprout, solanine will produce nerve-paralyzing solanine, which is not recommended to be eaten raw or cooked!

Special reminder. Raw soy milk contains harmful substances such as saponins and trypsin inhibitors, and drinking it without cooking it can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and other poisoning symptoms. When the soybean milk in the pot boils and foams, it may be a "false boiling" phenomenon with a temperature of only 80, so you must reduce the heat and stir fully to make the foam completely disappear and boil.
