The only survivor of Jixi sour soup poisoning dies

On October 19, the reporter learned from Mr. Zhang, the son of Ms. Li, the only survivor of the "sour soup" poisoning incident in Jixi, Heilongjiang, that his mother had passed away at noon today. So far, all nine people poisoned in the "sour soup" poisoning incident in Jixi, Heilongjiang have died.
On the morning of October 5, a total of 12 family members and relatives attended the dinner. Nine of the elders in the family all ate sour soup, but three young people did not eat it because they did not like the taste. At noon, nine elders who had eaten the sour soup began to feel unwell and went to the hospital for treatment.

It is reported that the local police had previously investigated and found that the ingredients of the sour soup were homemade by the family members and had been frozen in the refrigerator for nearly a year. It is suspected that the ingredients caused food poisoning. The on-site extraction and testing by the local public security agency's criminal technology department ruled out the possibility of human poisoning.

Of the nine people who were poisoned, eight have died, and only Ms. Li, 47, who was being treated at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, survived. Ms. Li has now passed away.

To prevent food poisoning in autumn and winter, we should mainly do the following:

1. Prevent food poisoning from fermented rice and flour. Do not produce, sell or eat fermented rice foods such as fermented rice noodles and sour soup; when preparing fermented rice foods, change the water frequently to maintain hygiene and ensure that the food has no peculiar smell. Once pink, green, yellow-green, black or other mold spots are found, it cannot be eaten. After grinding, it must be dried in time or dried into powder, and storage must be ventilated, moisture-proof and dust-proof; it is prohibited to sell or eat spoiled white fungus, and do not eat fresh white fungus on your own; after fermented rice noodles poisoning occurs, stop eating the suspicious food immediately, and the patient and those who have eaten the same food but have not become ill should seek medical attention promptly, induce vomiting, gastric lavage, and bowel cleansing, and give symptomatic treatment according to the severity of the symptoms.

2. Prevent mushroom food poisoning. Do not pick and eat wild mushrooms on your own; edible mushrooms must be purchased from regular markets; once symptoms of poisoning occur, vomiting should be induced as soon as possible and the patient should be sent to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible; if the patient can carry leftover mushrooms, they can assist the doctor in diagnosis and treatment.

3. Prevent lentil (bean) food poisoning. Lentils must be cooked and simmered thoroughly to destroy their toxins. They need to be blanched in water until they lose their original green color, rawness and bean smell. When frying the lentils, they should be turned frequently so that they are heated evenly. After stir-frying, add an appropriate amount of water and simmer until cooked before eating. When purchasing, choose young lentils and do not buy or eat old lentils.

4. Prevent the spread of norovirus. Since there is currently no vaccine to prevent norovirus, to prevent the spread of norovirus, people should take care to keep food and drinking water clean; wash hands carefully with soap and water before meals and after defecation; clean eating utensils promptly; keep raw and cooked food separate; cook food fully, and wash raw fruits and vegetables thoroughly; store food properly, and reheat it before eating.

5. Prevent poisoning from homemade wine. A large number of grapes are on the market in autumn and winter, and many people like to make their own wine. However, if the brewing process is not handled properly, harmful byproducts such as methanol will be produced. You should try to choose wine sold in regular shopping malls; for homemade wine, you should choose winemaking grapes and control the fermentation temperature. The higher the temperature, the longer the immersion time, and the greater the amount of pectinase used, the more methanol will be produced; wine should not be stored for a long time and should be consumed as soon as possible after brewing.
