Red umbrella, white pole, we lay down together after eating. This is a folk song sung in Yunnan, referring to the toxic power of wild fungi which should not be underestimated. The red mushroom looks ordinary, but it is a highly poisonous species and is called Fotanella in many places. In the emergency room today, someone was dying because of accidentally eating this fungus .
Since June, the Emergency Department of Internal Medicine of Yunnan University Affiliated Hospital has received 10 patients who were poisoned by picking and accidentally eating Russula subsiduum.
Patient Yang Wen'an: "I saw a lot of fungi on the hillside. I also took some to see if the raw fungi had a spicy taste. I said it can be eaten if there is no spicy taste."
The patient lying on the hospital bed was from Yuxi Hua Yang Wen'an from Ningxia went up to the mountain to pick six or seven kilograms of wild mushrooms a few days ago. Yang Wen'an said that the way he judges whether these wild fungi are poisonous is to taste them. As long as there is no spicy taste, it means that the wild fungi are non-toxic and can be eaten. This method comes from word of mouth from the older generation, but it is obviously wrong. Yang Wen'an was poisoned after taking wild mushrooms home to cook and eat.
Yang Wen'an's wife: "He said he would taste it first to see if it was poisonous, and asked us not to eat it. He would eat it first."
Patient Yang Wen'an: "I always thought it was Milk Bacteria , and I I had eaten a little before, and I had diarrhea the next morning. I felt very unconscious at noon yesterday, and I felt cold sweat all over my body until 8:20 pm.”
The family sent Yang Wen’an to a local hospital for medical treatment, gastric lavage. He was later transferred to a higher-level hospital for treatment.
Doctor: "This bacterium is very poisonous. If you eat it, it will cause hematuria, and kidney failure."
Yang Wen'an's wife: "He eats very little. He only eats this little at most."
Doctor: "Now Let’s wait for the re-examination enzyme blood test results to see if further treatment is needed. First, gastric lavage and catharsis.”
Yang Wen’an’s wife: “Okay.”
Xiao Yunfei’s family, who lives in the next ward, is also from Yuxihua. rather. They were in the same situation as Yang Wenhua, having accidentally eaten highly toxic wild fungi.
Patient Xiao Yunfei: "I felt nauseated and vomited not long after eating it. Our whole family ate it. There were 6 people in the family and one of my friends also ate it. All 7 of us ate together."
Xiao Yunfei said that they cooked a total of 23 liang Some of the fungus on the left and right became unwell before they even finished eating.
Patient Xiao Yunfei: "I didn't even finish the meal at that time. I felt uncomfortable and vomited."
Xiao Yunfei realized that it might be bacterial poisoning, so he went to the local hospital with his family and friends for treatment. But at this time, simple gastric lavage and catharsis could no longer control the progression of the disease, and seven people were transferred to higher-level hospitals for treatment.
Zhu Junbo, deputy chief physician of the Department of Emergency Medicine, Yunnan University Affiliated Hospital: "Three of the patients were more serious, and their muscle enzyme progressively increased, especially the 21-bed elderly patient's heart rate increased, the heart rate was relatively fast, and hematuria appeared. "The situation may be due to rhabdomyolysis caused by eating the fungi."
Xiao Yunfei identified the picked fungi and found that the toadstools they consumed may be Russula striata.
Patient Xiao Yunfei: "Yes, yes, that's the fungus. The fungus we eat is exactly the same as the one in the picture."
Currently, three of Xiao Yunfei's family members are in stable condition after treatment because they eat less fungi. Xiao Yunfei himself, two other family members and a friend are in serious condition and require further treatment.
Li Ming, a relative of the patient: "Vomiting, coma, and confusion."
Reporter: "When and how much did you eat? Is there any information on this?"
Li Ming, a relative of the patient: "This information is incomplete because the old man is no longer conscious. "When we saw the old man, his consciousness was already blurred. We didn't know anything. There were only two old people in the family."
It was Li Ming's grandparents who were poisoned by eating mushrooms. The two old people went to the mountains to collect the mushrooms themselves and became ill after eating them. He had a poisoning reaction and was immediately sent to the hospital for treatment. Unfortunately, Li Ming's grandmother was seriously ill and passed away, while her grandfather was still in a coma and was being rescued. Based on the laboratory indicators and organ failure of the two patients, the doctor concluded that the fungus eaten by the old man may be Russula subtilis.
Data show that Russula subsiduum is a highly toxic species, commonly known as Foam bacteria, and the fatality rate of poisoning can be as high as more than 70%. The main reason for the frequent poisoning is that the appearance of Russula subarum is very similar to that of Russula sibiricum and Russula miltiorrhiza, which are often eaten by people in many places. Symptoms will appear within 1 hour after accidental ingestion, starting with nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, and 24 hours later, general fatigue, muscle spasm pain , chest tightness, heart palpitations , shortness of breath and difficulty; hematuria or hemoglobin Urine , soy sauce-colored urine; finally acute renal failure , and even death.
Zhu Junbo, deputy chief physician of the Department of Emergency Medicine, Yunnan University Affiliated Hospital: "Symptomatic treatment can only be carried out according to the patient's laboratory indicators. There is no specific antidote for bacterial poisoning. Apply for blood purification for plasma, maintain water and electrolyte balance, and carry out liver-protective treatment. ”
Doctors said that the changes in organ and blood items after Russulata poisoning are a progressive process. If there is no timely intervention, the patient’s condition will worsen with the absorption of toxins, and the patient needs blood purification treatment. . The best way to prevent red mushroom poisoning is not to eat these fungi. When you see unfamiliar or unfamiliar wild fungi, never try to poison yourself. Eating trace amounts of highly toxic wild fungi can also be fatal. There is no specific cure for poisoning, so don’t be careless.
patient Xiao Yunfei: "I really regret how many people have been harmed by eating this little fungus. I hope everyone will try not to eat unfamiliar fungi in the future, and don't eat fungi that you have never eaten before." Li Ming, a relative of
patient : "This is a bloody lesson. Please stop eating unknown wild mushrooms."
