How to deal with poisoning of Flammulina velutipes

Enoki mushrooms are a relatively delicious edible fungus, but you should be careful when eating them. Try to blanch them thoroughly. If they are half-cooked, it is likely to cause food poisoning. If poisoning occurs, it is mainly because of the presence of colchicine. This type of substance can cause problems with the gastrointestinal mucosa and respiratory mucosa. In case of poisoning, certain emergency methods can be used to deal with it. If the poisoning is serious, you should go to the hospital in time.

How to deal with poisoning from Flammulina velutipes

Enoki mushrooms contain colchicine before they are fully cooked. After eating, this substance will be oxidized into toxic colchicine, which will strongly irritate our gastrointestinal mucosa and respiratory mucosa, thereby causing food poisoning. Patients will begin to experience dry throat, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea within 30 to 240 minutes after eating Flammulina velutipes. Patients who eat a large amount of undercooked Flammulina velutipes may also experience fever, abnormal water and electrolyte balance, blood in the stool and blood in the urine.

So how do you deal with enoki mushroom food poisoning? It is recommended that everyone learn the three first aid methods for food poisoning as soon as possible.

Method 1 is to induce vomiting

If food poisoning occurs within 1 to 2 hours after eating, vomiting can be used as first aid. The method is to add 20 grams of salt to 200 milliliters of boiling water, let it cool and drink it all at once. If the effect is not good, you can drink it a few more times. You can also mash 100 grams of fresh ginger into juice, add 200 milliliters of warm water and drink it, which can also induce vomiting.

The second first aid method for food poisoning is catharsis

If food poisoning symptoms occur 2 to 3 hours after eating and your mental state is still relatively good, you can take some laxatives to help excrete food out of the body. The most commonly used method is to take 30 grams of rhubarb, add water and boil it. When elderly friends suffer from food poisoning, they can take 20 grams of Yuanming powder and pour it into boiling water to drink. Friends with good physical conditions can also boil 15 grams of senna leaves in water and take it. These methods can all have a cathartic effect.

Detoxification methods can also be used after food poisoning caused by Enoki mushrooms.

Especially when food poisoning occurs after eating spoiled fish, shrimp or crab, you can pour 100 ml of vinegar, add 200 ml of water to dilute it, and then take it. Or you can add 30 grams of perilla and 10 grams of raw licorice to water and boil them for consumption. If you accidentally ingest a spoiled drink, you should drink fresh milk. In fact, food poisoning from Enoki mushrooms is completely preventable. Enoki mushrooms should be soaked in cold water for two hours before being eaten, and must be cooked until completely softened. If you are going to make a cold dish of Flammulina velutipes, you should first soak it in cold water for a while and then blanch it in boiling water.
