Zhangzhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention reminds the general public: There are many kinds of wild mushrooms, and it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish whether they are poisonous or not. Once poisoned, the mortality rate is very high. Inadvertently endangering life and health, in the face of these wild “deliciousness”, we must resolutely do not pick, sell, or eat.
Accidental ingestion of poisonous mushrooms can lead to vomiting, diarrhea, or death.
There are more than 100 kinds of poisonous mushrooms in my country, and there are at least 10 common ones that can cause death, such as Umbrella with brown scales, white poisonous umbrella, brown-handled white poisonous umbrella, poisonous umbrella, remnant spotted poisonous umbrella, poisonous powder folded mushroom, autumn-born helmet spore umbrella, black folded umbrella with covered feet, deer flower mushroom, etc.
The toxins contained in poisonous mushrooms are mushroom toxins. The symptoms of poisoning can be divided into 5 types: gastrointestinal type, neuropsychiatric type, hemolytic type, organ damage type, and photoallergic dermatitis type. The incubation period of poisonous mushroom poisoning varies from 10 minutes to 30 hours. The clinical manifestations of poisoning are complex and diverse. Generally, the early symptoms of poisoning are nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms. In severe cases, it can lead to convulsions, convulsions, hallucinations, and even death from respiratory failure and heart failure. There is no effective treatment for poisonous mushroom poisoning, and the fatality rate is extremely high.
Inedible wild mushrooms
How to save yourself in case of accidental mushroom poisoning?
In case of mushroom poisoning, drink a lot of warm water or dilute salt water immediately, put your finger or toothbrush handle into the throat to induce vomiting, and send it to the nearest medical unit as soon as possible for vomiting, gastric lavage, and catharsis. to expel toxins as quickly as possible. It is best to bring the remaining mushroom samples with you when you go to the doctor for further diagnosis.
Some of the poisoned patients relieved their symptoms after conventional treatment and seemed to have recovered. In fact, they entered the “false recovery period”. After about 1-2 days, the condition suddenly deteriorated and was life-threatening. Therefore, patients with mushroom poisoning should be observed for 1-2 days after the symptoms disappear. If there are symptoms of discomfort, they should seek medical attention immediately to prevent delayed treatment due to false recovery.
In order to avoid poisonous mushroom poisoning, we advocate: do not pick, do not buy, do not eat wild mushrooms.
