    Recently, I saw a hot search on Weibo: ##
    .
    I just want to say that scientific parenting is really important!
     
    The cause of the incident was that the parents believed that milk powder would “get angry” and vegetables could “clear the fire”, so they used boiled vegetable water to make milk for the baby, which resulted in nitrite poisoning for the baby
    .
     
    Why is it poisoned?
    In fact, all plants contain nitrate and nitrite
    .
    Nitrate itself is not harmful to our body, but nitrate can be reduced to toxic nitrite under the action of microorganisms
    .
     
    Excessive intake of nitrite will cause hemoglobin to lose its oxygen-carrying capacity, leading to hypoxia in tissues and organs.
    Poisoned persons may experience hypoxia in the lips, nails, and bruising of the skin throughout the body, as well as dizziness, fatigue, chest tightness, and rapid heart rate.
    Clinical symptoms such as shortness of breath, severe respiratory failure can lead to death
    .
     
    This incident may have occurred because the boiled vegetable water was left for too long
    .
    The content of nitrite in vegetable water itself is not high, but if placed at room temperature for too long, bacteria will multiply, and part of the nitrate can be converted into nitrite under the action of bacteria, plus neonates’ exposure to nitrite The ability to withstand is weak, which leads to the poisoning
    .
     
    Why don't we eat vegetables every day?
    The content of nitrite in fresh vegetables is actually not high, and only a small amount of nitrate can be converted into nitrite under the action of some bacteria and reductase.
    This part of nitrite can be decomposed in the human body and cannot accumulate in the body.
    Cause poisoning

    Tips
    Vegetables that have been stored for a long time or leftovers that have been stored improperly, some of the nitrate may be converted into nitrite under the action of bacteria, so it is best to buy them and eat them
    .
    If there are too many dishes and you have to eat "leftovers", you can directly put part of the dishes just out of the pot into a clean container and put them in the refrigerator immediately after room temperature, so that it should be no problem to store them until the next day
    .
     
     
    In addition, if you unfortunately have symptoms of bruising of lips, nails, and skin throughout your body at home, you must go to the hospital in time
