What should we pay attention to to prevent fungal food poisoning?

Whenever the rainy and humid season comes, wild mushrooms begin to enter a period of vigorous growth. As we all know, many fungi are poisonous and cannot be eaten. In most food poisoning incidents, the number of deaths caused by eating wild mushrooms is the highest. Although fungi are delicious, it is particularly important to be able to identify whether they are poisonous when eating them. Below, the editor will introduce some precautions to prevent fungal food poisoning.

Wild mushrooms are delicious and contain fat, protein, carbohydrates, crude fiber, various minerals and vitamins. Regular consumption of mushrooms is very helpful in improving health and preventing diseases. However, eating wild mushrooms carries the risk of poisoning. According to relevant information, eating too much wild mushrooms at one time or continuously will lead to lower blood sugar in the human body. Therefore, even if you do not get poisoned, eating too much wild mushrooms will cause general weakness.

When eating wild mushrooms, you should pay attention to the following points:

1. Do not pick mushrooms that you are not familiar with, especially those with bright colors. When eating wild mushrooms, do not mix them together. It is best to eat one type of wild mushroom at a time.

2. Do not stir-fry all the wild mushrooms you have picked together, because mixing different types of wild mushrooms together will easily cause chemical reactions, and non-toxic mushrooms will become toxic. Be careful when processing. For example, when eating porcini, the best way is to cook them first to reduce the toxicity and the possibility of poisoning.

3. When you go to the market to buy mushrooms, it is best to buy mushrooms that have been eaten before and have not caused any danger. After buying them, they should be fried thoroughly before eating.

4. Don’t drink alcohol when eating mushrooms. Although some wild mushrooms are non-toxic, certain ingredients they contain will react chemically with the ethanol contained in wine to produce toxins and cause poisoning. Therefore, it is best not to drink alcohol when eating wild mushrooms.

The above are the precautions to prevent poisoning when eating mushrooms. Everyone must take note of them carefully. Even if you go to the supermarket to buy, you should not be careless. It is best to buy mushrooms that you have eaten before and are safe and not dangerous. After buying them, make sure to fry them thoroughly before eating. If you accidentally eat bacteria and have adverse reactions, you must induce vomiting immediately while rushing to the hospital to reduce the degree of poisoning.
