In the early spring season, when you walk on the road, you will often see street stalls selling sugar cane.
The sugar cane is sweet and juicy and is loved by people
.
However, recently, a young couple came to the Xiamen Lianqian Community Health Service Center, helping each other, and both of them were pale
.
The young couple said that they bought a sugar cane at the fruit shop the night before and ate two pieces at home
.
As a result, in the middle of the night, the two of them began to have abdominal cramps and vomiting continuously, which lasted all night
.
The suffering continued.
In the daytime, the two had a splitting headache, and they had to support each other to come to a nearby hospital for treatment
.
The inspection revealed that it was because they had eaten moldy sugarcane
.
Why is sugarcane moldy?
Why does good sugarcane get moldy? In fact, this is hard to avoid
.
There are various microorganisms everywhere in the natural environment where we live
.
There is a type of fungus that can form developed, luxuriantly branched hyphae, called molds
.
Mold spores are small in size and light in weight, so they are easy to disperse and spread, and they have strong endurance and can stay in the unfavorable environment for a long time
.
Once the environment is suitable, they immediately rejuvenate and multiply

.
The first condition for mold growth is humidity, followed by nutrients
.
The sugarcane has sufficient water content and high sugar content, which is very conducive to the growth of mold, and mold growth is normal

What's wrong with moldy sugarcane?
After storage in the cold winter, many sugarcanes will inevitably become moldy
.
After the sugarcane is cut, the section is light yellow, brown or even gray-black, and has white flocculent hyphae, and it smells of fermented wine
.

What is the problem with sugarcane in the moldy process?
In fact, the most worrying problem of sugarcane mold is Arhlhrinium SPP
.
During the storage of sugarcane, Arthrobium can grow and reproduce in large numbers, and produce a neurotoxin-3-nitropropionic acid (3-NPA) during the reproduction process, which can damage the central nervous system of humans and animals
.
Scientists have discovered that the half-lethal dose of this toxin used orally in mice is 100 mg per kilogram of body weight for males and 68 mg per kilogram for females
.
The content of 3-nitropropionic acid in moldy sugarcane can be as high as 30-40 mg/kg
.
If you accidentally eat this moldy sugarcane into your stomach, the toxin will be absorbed very quickly and poisoning will easily occur

.
What are the symptoms of moldy sugarcane poisoning?
The incubation period of this toxin poisoning is short.
If a person accidentally eats moldy sugarcane containing this toxin, symptoms of poisoning will appear as soon as ten minutes
.
Symptoms of poisoning are initially manifested as digestive tract dysfunction, light dizziness, headache and vomiting, severe convulsions, coma, and severe neurological sequelae, and the most severe may even lead to death

How dangerous is moldy sugarcane?
The case of moldy sugarcane poisoning is more common in children.
Because of the weak resistance of children, the mortality rate caused by moldy sugarcane poisoning is often relatively high

Moreover, because the symptoms of eating moldy sugarcane poisoning are similar to some common toxic encephalopathy in spring, it is easy to be misdiagnosed.
Parents must be careful not to buy sugarcane for their children during this period, especially if they are coated with sugar.
Sugarcane products are not easy to distinguish

.
It is precisely because of this that the folks have known the old saying "Qing Ming cane race with poisonous snakes"
.
Although it may sound a bit exaggerated, it also illustrates the danger of moldy sugar cane
.
Because most of the sugarcane has been stored for a long time in the Qingming season, mold is inevitable, and this kind of sugarcane is quite dangerous

.
What kind of sugar cane is the most dangerous?
Most cases of poisoning caused by moldy sugarcane occurred in the early spring season in northern China, because the northern sugarcane is generally transported from the south, and it has to be stored in the cellar for a long time, which is more prone to mold
.
In fact, the longer the storage time, the higher the risk of sugarcane
.

In fact, the longer the storage time, the higher the risk of sugarcane

A survey of 317 sugarcane samples from Henan, Hebei, Guangxi, Guangdong and Fujian in China found that Arthrobacter spp on fresh sugarcane was very rare, with an infection rate of only 0.
7%, and the number of colonies only accounted for other infecting molds.
Of 0.
1%
.
However, after 3 months of storage, the contamination rate of Arthrophyllum samples increased significantly, reaching 34%, and the number of bacteria increased significantly, accounting for 18% of the total number of molds, becoming the dominant bacteria
.
In the past cases of poisoning, the sugarcane that caused the poisoning was stored for a long time
.
Therefore, the longer the storage time of sugarcane, the more dangerous it is
.
If there is already obvious mildew, it is best not to touch such sugarcane, let alone eat it

How to prevent poisoning?
The bad news is that once you are poisoned by eating moldy sugarcane, there is currently no special treatment
.
Therefore, to avoid poisoning, the most important thing is to do a good job of prevention
.
The best prevention method is naturally not to buy or eat moldy sugarcane

.
It is also particularly important to prevent mildew sugarcane poisoning, that is, do not drink the squeezed sugarcane juice, because squeezing the juice will not destroy the toxins, even if heated, it will not reduce a little bit
.
This will result in the presence of toxins in the sugarcane juice, and the fresh smell of the sugarcane after the juice can easily cover the moldy odor, making it more difficult for everyone to distinguish
.
Moreover, sugarcane juice is almost all sugar, and it is easy to drink too much when you squeeze it, and you will eat too much sugar, which is not good for your health

The main reason for sugarcane mould is improper storage method
.
In this regard, scientists are also studying new ways to store sugarcane to prevent mold, such as temperature regulation, electromagnetic radiation storage, controlled atmosphere storage, ozone ion storage, vacuum storage, plastic film packaging, etc.
, but these The technology is currently difficult to be widely used
.
So, for the time being, everyone should not eat moldy sugarcane

.
However, you don't need to be too anxious because of this
.
In fact, as long as you try to buy sugar cane in a regular market, don't go to street vendors, and look at it when you buy it, the possibility of eating moldy sugar cane is still very small
.
When choosing sugarcane, we still try to choose high-value sugarcane, and don't buy it or eat it if you feel something is wrong
.

.
It should be reminded that moldy sugarcane and reddening are not the same thing
.
Many people will say that the reddish sugarcane is moldy, and use this as a basis for judging whether the sugarcane can be eaten
.
In fact, the reason for the redness in the center of sugarcane is actually sugarcane pineapple disease, which is caused by red rot fungi during the growth period
.
The moldy and poisonous sugarcane is caused by the infection of Arthrobacter spp.
which metabolizes 3-nitropropionic acid toxin during storage.
The moldy sugarcane epidermis will become lacklustre, and the sugarcane meat will be pale yellow, light gray or brown.
There are white fluffy hyphae on the stump, which has a sour or wine taste
.
Therefore, you can't just choose sugarcane by color
