Will it cause poisoning if the fungus is not cooked?

Black fungus is a popular food ingredient. It tastes delicious, is very crispy, and is extremely nutritious. It is a great supplement for the human body. Most people like to eat it very much. However, black fungus is a fungus ingredient, similar to mushrooms. Therefore, there is a certain risk of toxicity. Let’s take a look at whether undercooked black fungus will cause poisoning? I hope everyone can understand.

There is a certain chance of poisoning if black fungus is eaten without being fully cooked. The poisoning usually manifests itself in symptoms such as dizziness, vomiting, weakness in the limbs, nausea, fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and so on. If the condition is mild, drinking more water can relieve it, and it will be fine in one to two or three days. If the condition is severe, it is very dangerous and you need to go to a large hospital for treatment.

1. There is a substance called purine nucleoside in black fungus, which is called black fungus polysaccharide. It has strong anticoagulant activity, antiplatelet aggregation and antithrombotic effects. It should be noted that black fungus can only improve the solubility of dietary fiber and black fungus polysaccharides after high-temperature cooking, which helps absorption and utilization, so black fungus must be cooked.

2. Fungus itself is non-toxic, but if soaked for a long time it will deteriorate and produce biological toxins, or breed bacteria, fungi and other pathogenic microorganisms. The symptoms are the same as those caused by accidental mushroom poisoning, with acute liver and kidney failure as the main clinical manifestations. Severe patients are prone to multiple organ dysfunction and failure.
