In fact, dried fungus itself is not toxic. However, fungi may breed a kind of bacteria called "Pseudomonas cocoanum" in the process of hair foaming, which will produce mycotoxins. Authoritative reports show that eating 1- 1.5mg is fatal.
The probability of producing rice fermentation acid in normal short-time brewing is very low, but if it is soaked for a long time and the external environment is not clean, it may be polluted by Pseudomonas cocoanum and produce rice fermentation acid toxin. For example, when soaking, there are expired food around, or the soaking container is not cleaned and food residue remains, which will become a hotbed for the formation of rice fermentation acid.
What is even more frightening is that there is no specific antidote for this toxin. After poisoning, only general first-aid measures such as vomiting, gastric lavage and bowel cleaning can be taken, resulting in a high mortality rate.
Second, fungus should be soaked like this.
Soaked fungus ingredients should be eaten with hair. Especially in summer, it is best to add appropriate ice cubes or cold water to soak your hair in the refrigerator. Low temperature can delay the reproduction of microorganisms. Generally speaking, auricularia auricula can be soaked in cold water for 1~2 hours, and the longest time should not exceed 4 hours. If it is warm water or hot water bubble, the time is relatively short. Auricularia auricula has been soaked for a long time, and when it is turbid and sticky, it must be thrown away decisively.
Third, seek medical attention immediately if suspicious symptoms appear.
According to reports, the food poisoning caused by the acidotoxin of rice yeast is acute, and the incubation period is generally 30 minutes ~ 12 hours, and a few of them are as long as 1~2 days.
The acute attack of food poisoning caused by mycotoxin is mainly manifested as epigastric discomfort, nausea, vomiting, mild diarrhea, dizziness and general weakness. In severe cases, jaundice, hepatomegaly, subcutaneous hemorrhage, hematemesis, hematuria, oliguria, unconsciousness, restlessness, convulsion, convulsion, shock and even death occur, and generally there is no fever.
If you suspect poisoning, you must immediately stop eating suspicious food, induce vomiting as soon as possible, and discharge stomach contents to reduce the absorption of toxins and damage to the body; And promptly sent to the hospital for treatment and symptomatic treatment.
