"Sour Soup" Event: Are you still eating such food?

According to media reports, nine people in Jidong County, Jixi City, Heilongjiang Province ate homemade sour soup at home, causing food poisoning.

It is reported that the ingredients of sour soup have been frozen in the refrigerator 1 year. ? Sour soup? The poisoning incident has now increased by 8 people.

According to the investigation and analysis of relevant departments, the food poisoning was caused by the ingredients of sour soup, which was frozen in the refrigerator for more than 1 year. At present, the incident is preliminarily characterized as a food poisoning incident caused by Pseudomonas cocoanum pollution and rice fermentation acid production.

What is this? Rice fermented acid? ?

Speaking of rice yeast acid, let's start with Pseudomonas cocoanum, which was first caused by a food poisoning incident of Dutch scientists in Java, Indonesia.

Pseudomonas cocoanum is not fatal, but it will produce two toxins, one is toxoflavin and the other is oryzanol, as the news said.

The incubation period of the two toxins is short, generally only 30 minutes-12 hours, and the longest is 3 days.

Among them, mycotic acid can directly damage the liver, brain, kidney and other major substantive organs, damage the digestive system, urinary system and nervous system, and cause symptoms such as epigastric discomfort, nausea and vomiting, and mild diarrhea. In severe cases, it can cause central nervous paralysis, respiratory failure, shock and even death.

Worst of all, there is no specific medicine for this virus.

Unfortunately, at present, there is no specific medicine for fungal acid in medicine, and the serious process of the disease depends on the toxins ingested. The higher the toxin intake, the more serious the symptoms will be.

Crucially, the death rate of acid in rice yeast is also very high, which can be as high as about 50%.

Different from other bacteria, the toxin of rice fermentation acid is very heat-resistant, and ordinary high-temperature cooking can not eliminate the toxicity.

Which foods are most easily contaminated?

In fact, Pseudomonas cocoanum is ubiquitous. This kind of bacteria likes warm and humid environment best, so food poisoning mostly occurs in summer and autumn.

There are three kinds of foods that are easily contaminated: fermented corn flour, glutinous rice products, corn starch, fermented grains, potato products such as potato vermicelli, sweet potato starch, sweet potato seedlings, deteriorated auricularia auricula and tremella.
