    Many people like to go to the suburbs and fields to pick wild vegetables and eat them at home However, due to the lack of understanding of wild plants, poisoning incidents occur from time to time Recently, seven young men and women were playing in Mount Tai When they saw some wild white mushrooms, they thought of tasting them Results two of them died in the local hospital Jiang Li, Professor of emergency department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University, told the life times that in summer and autumn every year, especially in the rainy season, wild mushrooms grow vigorously and there will be incidents of poisoning caused by eating by mistake Therefore, people must be careful when eating wild mushrooms Even if they are bought on the market, they should not eat them easily if they have not been eaten or known There are two misunderstandings in people's understanding of poisonous mushroom One is that even if mushrooms are poisonous, they will be destroyed by boiling them at high temperature In fact, the toxin contained in poisonous mushroom is stable, resistant to high temperature and dry, and cooking can not destroy its toxic components The second is that poisonous mushroom can be identified according to its appearance, taste and other characteristics If someone pointed out that poisonous mushrooms are mostly golden, pink, white, black and green Non toxic mushrooms are mostly coffee, lavender or grayish red Poisonous mushroom has the taste of potato or radish, and non poisonous mushroom has the taste of bitter apricot or fruit These are not completely correct, "there are more than 100 kinds of poisonous wild mushrooms in China Most people lack professional knowledge, it's difficult to distinguish whether it's poisonous with the naked eye, and it's also easy to be confused in the case of wild hybridity " Said Jiang Li After ingesting poisonous mushroom by mistake, it will go through several stages, such as incubation period, false recovery period and visceral damage period In the early stage, there will be nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea with dizziness, headache, weakness of limbs, blurred vision and other symptoms In serious cases, it can cause liver and kidney failure, jaundice, convulsion, convulsion, even coma and death Once the above poisoning symptoms are found, they should be treated in hospital as soon as possible, and take the mushroom samples for doctors' reference to determine the type of poisoning Before arriving at the hospital, you can drink plenty of warm boiled water or diluted salt water, stimulate your throat with your hands and spoons, and vomit the poison as much as possible.
