A bad habit of grandma may affect the health of children, and parents should pay attention.
A few days ago, the neighbor's 5-and-a-half-year-old child suddenly had a fever, vomiting, and couldn't eat, and the neighbor hurriedly sent the child to the hospital, and after the doctor's examination, it was found that it was liver failure.
After careful inquiry, I learned that the grandmother at home has a very bad habit of cooking, that is, raw and cooked food is not divided into cutting boards, just cut raw meat, simply rush under the water faucet and start cutting cooked food, in this process, the liver fluke larvae in the raw meat are adsorbed on the cutting board and then stained on the cooked food to be eaten, and the child's stomach is more fragile than the adult's, and those liver flukes hatch in the child's intestines to settle down.
Grandma was shocked when she heard this, but she didn't expect her bad habit to hurt her grandson, so she regretted it.
In fact, a casual search on the Internet will reveal that things like the neighbor's children are not uncommon.
A 6-year-old child in Shunde, Guangzhou, was infected with liver flukes due to raw and cooked food on the chopping board at home
A 5-year-old child in Zhengzhou also suffered from liver failure due to raw and cooked food on the cutting board
A one-year-old boy in Zhongshan, Guangdong Province, was infected with a variety of parasites due to raw and cooked food on undivided cutting boards:
The same food may be fine for adults, but children will have big problems when they eat it, because the child's gastrointestinal development is imperfect, the stomach acid processing ability is weak, and it is very easy to be infected with parasites, and over time, it will cause serious damage to the biliary tract and liver.
The International Cancer Society and the World Health Organization have unanimously confirmed that liver flukes are "a class of carcinogenic organisms" and one of the very serious foodborne parasitic diseases, with amazing reproductive ability and survivability, generally surviving for 20-30 years.
So, is it possible to pay attention to separating raw and cooked food from the cutting board at home to avoid liver fluke infection? In fact, the following bad habits also have hidden health risks, so check them out to see if you have them!
The rag that does not change for a long time
I once saw a ** article in a scientific report, saying that in scouring pads, there are about 50 billion bacteria per cubic centimeter, and the total number of bacteria in it is more than 6 times that of the global population, which can almost be said to be about the same as feces.
Do you feel disgusted when I say that? In reality, the real situation may be more disgusting than you think.
Think about it, wipe the cooktop with a rag and then wipe the cutting board, wipe the cutting board and then wipe the sink, and use it to wipe the dishes and wash the pot after wiping the sink.
The kitchen is already damp, and if the rag is not properly cleaned, dried and disinfected after use, the rag is likely to become a large bacterial farm.
The correct way is to wash and wring out the rag after using it, then put it in a ventilated place to dry, disinfect it once a week, you can put it in a pot and boil it for 20 minutes, or disinfect it thoroughly with a food-grade disinfectant.
The dishes and chopsticks that have not been changed for a long time
Many families are accustomed to putting the dishes and chopsticks in the cupboard after washing, in fact, the cabinet is damp and not ventilated, it is the place where bacteria are most likely to breed, and many families feel that they are too heavy and do not like to use stainless steel chopsticks, wooden chopsticks are commonly used but are very easy to mold, and the chopsticks must not be used again when encountering mold, it is best to use natural rice husk material, which is safe and not easy to breed bacteria.
In addition, when cleaning the dishes and chopsticks, it is best not to put them in the plate or pot, but to clean them with running water, and when cleaning greasy dishes and chopsticks with dish soap, be sure to wash them with water several times, and do not wipe them dry with a rag after cleaning, but put them on the drain rack to drain naturally and then put them in the disinfection cabinet.
A full fridge
In life, the refrigerator of most families is full, whether it is raw food or cooked food, and even some food that has expired for a long time may be forgotten in which corner of the refrigerator is reluctant to throw away.
There is a bacteria known as the "refrigerator killer", which prefers the environment of this food raw and cooked, and can survive for a long time at low temperatures, this bacteria is called "listeria".
After being infected with this bacteria, fever, nausea, abdominal pain, muscle pain and other phenomena will occur, and more severely, it may develop into serious diseases such as meningitis and sepsis, which can be life-threatening.
Adults with good immunity are fine, but children and the elderly with low immunity are most likely to become the target of this bacterial invasion, and the vegetables, fruits, milk and other foods that children like to eat, as well as the eggs and meat high-protein foods we often eat, are easily infected by this bacteria.
Therefore, it is recommended that you store the food in the refrigerator separately, and if it is not possible, store it separately with the help of storage tools, and clean the refrigerator frequently, preferably once a week or two, and the food taken out of the refrigerator should also be heated as much as possible until it is cooked, because "listeria" can only survive in low temperatures, and high temperatures above 70 degrees Celsius will kill it within 5 minutes.
Residual oil at repeated high temperatures
Many elderly people come from the era of material scarcity, and they are reluctant to throw away leftovers, and the oil left over after frying things is reused.
In fact, repeated use of oil will produce trans fatty acids, which are more likely to deteriorate and produce benzopyrene than new oil, which is a class of carcinogens that is "comparable" to liver flukes!
In fact, if it is a pity to throw away the oil after frying, you can try to keep it in a dark and sealed environment, and use it up as soon as possible, so as to avoid contact with light and air to accelerate the rancidity and decomposition of fats and fats, and produce carcinogens.
Street barbecue and raw seafood
A 14-year-old boy once suffered from diarrhea and abdominal pain due to an overdose of roast lamb, which later developed severe liver damage.
After examination, the doctor found that it was because of eating undercooked mutton, which caused bacteria to enter the intestines, and the boy himself had poor digestion, and this bacteria and secreted toxins quickly entered the blood and liver, leading to liver failure.
Many people don't dare to eat mutton anymore after hearing about it, but the doctor told us that the main cause of liver failure is not mutton, but the intake of a large number of undercooked meat products in a short period of time, which exceeds the body's digestive and metabolic capacity, causing bacteria to enter the blood and organs.
Many raw seafood also contain parasites, such as the Fushou snail, which is listed as one of the major dangerous agricultural organisms by the State Environmental Protection Administration because of its amazing reproduction and large number of parasites.
Some data show that a snail may contain 300-6000 Angiostrongyloides cantonensis, and people who eat snails are very likely to be infected.
As the saying goes, "disease comes from the mouth", the kitchen is the easiest place to breed bacteria, and it is also the easiest place to infect germs from the mouth, for the health of children and families, we must pay attention to kitchen hygiene, often do thorough cleaning and sterilization, educate children to do personal hygiene, wash hands frequently, and ensure personal hygiene habits, only in this way can we grow up healthy and happy!
