What is the solution to fungal poisoning?

As we all know, fungi have many functions, such as improving human immunity and lowering blood lipids. However, many people suffer from food poisoning because they do not pay attention to the amount of fungi they eat. Once poisoned, you must take prompt action and adopt appropriate rescue measures to avoid missing the best time. So what is the antidote for fungal poisoning? Below is the editor’s explanation on this issue.

In case of poisoning by poisonous mushrooms, the following measures should be taken immediately:

(1) If the patient is conscious, let him drink strong tea or lukewarm water, and then use chopsticks to stimulate the throat to induce vomiting. Repeat this process of drinking water and spitting it out many times.

If the person is in a coma and loses consciousness, do not force them to drink water or induce vomiting to avoid suffocation due to accidental ingestion.

(2) If vomiting or diarrhea is severe, drink more water or light salt water.

(3) While providing treatment yourself, send the patient to hospital for emergency treatment as quickly as possible.

If you feel dizzy, nauseous, vomiting, diarrhea, or other discomfort within 10 minutes to 72 hours after eating edible fungi, the basic principle is to go to the nearest hospital for treatment. If there is no medical condition or the situation is urgent, the patient can take some measures at home to reduce the damage of toxins while waiting for the doctor to come. If the reaction occurs within 6 hours after eating the mushrooms, the poison still remains in the stomach and has not been absorbed into the blood. At this time, you can first use vomiting and laxative methods to excrete the toxins out of the body as soon as possible. The specific method is to use chicken feathers, chopsticks, or fingers to stimulate the throat. Drinking large amounts of salt water or taking emetics can also help vomiting. If the patient does not have diarrhea after eating the poisonous fungus, those with better physical constitution can use catharsis, while those with poorer physical constitution can use warm salt water or soapy water enema. In addition, drinking water can also help dilute the concentration of toxins in the body.

What to eat to detoxify mushroom poisoning

Rice washing water

Rice water also has a certain detoxification effect. In folk medicine, many cases of food poisoning are detoxified by drinking a lot of rice water. Rice water contains a large amount of starch powder and vitamin B, which can adsorb toxins and alleviate the symptoms of poisoning. Drinking rice water can also dilute toxins and assist in detoxification.

Strong tea

Strong tea has antidote properties and also has detoxification properties. Drinking a large amount of strong tea after accidentally eating poisonous mushrooms can play a certain detoxification role. However, the detoxification effect of tea is not very strong. You still need to seek medical attention in time after drinking tea to avoid life-threatening situations.
