The risk of poisoning is extremely high! Hunan's four departments jointly issue a warning! Medical treatment | Mushroom | Warning
Recently, the weather has become increasingly hot and rainfall has increased, leading to an increasing trend of wild mushroom poisoning incidents in Hunan Province. Based on annual monitoring data and analysis of meteorological factors, the Provincial Food Safety Office, Provincial Health Commission, Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and Provincial Meteorological Service Center jointly released the June Wild Mushroom Poisoning Index: Level I, with extremely high risk!
Reminder to the general public: The safest method is not to eat or buy wild mushrooms.
In June, no one cried, which means that if one accidentally eats the highly toxic mushrooms from June, it may cause a whole family to be poisoned and die, without even crying. This is not a exaggeration. According to statistics, from 2016 to 2022, wild mushroom poisoning incidents occurred the most, with the highest incidence and death toll in Hunan Province in June.
It is difficult to distinguish wild mushrooms, and there is currently no simple method to distinguish edible and toxic mushrooms based on their morphological characteristics. There is no specific antidote for wild mushroom poisoning, especially for patients with acute liver injury poisoning. In severe cases, liver transplantation is necessary, which poses a great risk and incurs extremely high treatment costs.
In June, there was a high incidence of acute liver damage type wild mushroom poisoning in Hunan Province, mainly caused by mushrooms containing Amanita peptide toxins, and the mortality rate after poisoning was high. In the past six years, more than 300 people have been poisoned by Amanita in Hunan Province, resulting in more than 30 deaths. Especially gray patterned goose paste and cracked skin goose paste are more common in Hunan Province. The highly toxic goose paste has obvious morphological characteristics, including cap, ring, and tray. Please remember not to pick it!
Acute liver injury type highly toxic goose paste poisoning has a latent period of 6-12 hours and an extremely mysterious false recovery period. In the early stages of treatment, the various indicators of the poisoned person tend to stabilize, leading the patient to mistakenly believe that the condition has improved; Once entering the period of visceral damage, various indicators rapidly deteriorate, and even if re seeking medical treatment, it will endanger life. Therefore, it is important to seek medical attention promptly for accidental ingestion of wild mushroom poisoning, provide detailed information about the doctor's history of wild mushroom consumption, and stay in the hospital for 3 to 4 days before discharge. Do not let small gains outweigh big losses!
