A pot of "delicious" soup almost killed a family of three

Some time ago, Mrs. Jiang’s husband bought some loofah at the market and stewed some chicken soup. When he was eating it, he found that the loofah was a bit bitter. He couldn’t bear to throw it away, so he just gritted his teeth and drank the whole pot of chicken soup. After that, the family of three began to suffer from vomiting and diarrhea and were rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.

The doctor said that during the rescue process, Mrs. Jiang and her mother vomited and had diarrhea many times, with obvious blood stains. Blood pressure dropped, inflammation occurred in the body, and liver damage occurred due to poisoning. Due to the serious situation, after 6 hours of first aid, the three people were finally out of danger temporarily...

It turns out that bitter loofah is the culprit

Contains biological toxins

The hospital's test results showed that the vomit and excrement of Mrs. Jiang and her family of three contained alkali glycoside biotoxins, which came from bitter loofah. It was this toxin that poisoned the three people and almost took their lives.

Doctors say that the toxins contained in bitter loofah are as toxic as arsenic! This toxin is difficult to dissolve even at high temperatures.

Doctors recommend:

Before eating loofah at home, it is best to lick the peeled loofah flesh with your tongue. If it tastes bitter, it is poisonous and cannot be eaten. If the fried loofah tastes bitter, it should be thrown away along with other food in the pot!

Except bitter loofah, these vegetables are poisonous!

Sprouted potatoes

Sprouted potatoes or green skins that have turned green contain solanine, which is highly irritating and corrosive to the gastrointestinal lining after consumption, has a paralyzing effect on the central nervous system, and can be life-threatening in severe cases.

Green tomatoes

Green tomatoes contain the same toxic substance as sprouted potatoes - solanine. After eating, symptoms of poisoning such as nausea, vomiting, bluish skin, salivation, and dizziness will occur. Eating it raw is even more dangerous!

Rotten ginger

Rotten ginger will produce a carcinogen called safrole, which can induce liver cancer and esophageal cancer.

Fresh lentils

Fresh lentils contain saponins and alkalis, which are toxic but will dissolve when exposed to heat. Before eating, blanch it in boiling water or fry it in oil, or stir-fry it until it changes color.

Black Spot Sweet Potato

If the sweet potato has black or brown spots on the skin, or has sprouted, consumers are advised not to buy it. Sweet potatoes with dark brown skin or black spots are contaminated by black spot bacteria. The toxicity of the black spot fungus can make sweet potatoes hard and bitter. It is highly toxic and the biological activity of this toxin cannot be destroyed whether it is boiled or roasted, so it is best not to eat it.
