According to news on April 17, the Guangdong Provincial Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention recently announced information on public health emergencies in the province in March. In March this year, Guangdong Province reported a total of 2 public health emergencies of general and above levels.All were of relatively high grade, with 2 cases of co-morbidity and 2 deaths., respectively:

A food poisoning incident caused by accidentally eating poisonous mushrooms was reported in Longgang District, Shenzhen City, with one case of illness and one death; a food poisoning incident caused by eating toads was reported in Doumen District, Zhuhai City, with one case of illness and one death.


It is reported that there are many types of mushrooms in my country, with more than 36,000 species. There are more than 1,000 known edible mushrooms, but there are also more than 480 poisonous mushrooms, of which more than 40 are highly toxic and can cause death. It is extremely difficult to distinguish, and it is difficult for ordinary people to judge whether a mushroom is poisonous based on its appearance.

Currently, there is no specific antidote for poisonous mushroom poisoning.Therefore, the most effective measure to prevent poisonous mushroom poisoning is: do not pick, buy, or eat wild mushrooms.

The skin and glands of toads contain a variety of toxic substances, including toad toxins, adrenaline analogs, etc. These ingredients can directly affect the heart, nervous system and digestive system.

People in the medical field said,The "recipes for detoxifying toads" spread among the people lack scientific basis, and their effectiveness and safety have not been certified by any professional. High temperature, soaking in wine, and eating only leg meat cannot detoxify them., so the correct approach is to refuse to eat it.
