Doctors in the mountainous region of Nghe An successfully rescued two people who mistakenly ate poisonous mushrooms.
On July 31, doctors and nurses from the 4th Economic - Defense Group Infirmary successfully treated two people who were poisoned by wild mushrooms. They were brought to the infirmary with pale skin and unsteady walking.
On the afternoon of July 31, Doctor Nguyen Cong Minh - Infirmary of Economic - Defense Group 4 said that the Infirmary's on-duty team had just successfully treated two cases of local people who ate poisonous mushrooms.
The two people, both residents of Na Ngoi commune, include Mr. Mua Ba R. (born in 1992) and Gia Ba C. (born in 1994). The two were taken to the infirmary with stomachache, vomiting, dizziness, pale skin, and difficulty walking.
After 4 hours of emergency treatment by doctors and nurses at the infirmary, the patients were awake, less tired, no vomiting, no stomachache, and their skin was rosy again.
Doctor Nguyen Cong Minh said that these are not two rare cases of poisoning from wild mushrooms. On average, every year, there are 5-6 cases of local people being poisoned by wild mushrooms and being treated at the infirmary.
Through this incident, doctors and nurses at the Infirmary of Economic - Defense Group 4 recommend that people absolutely do not eat strange mushrooms, even when growing edible mushrooms.
Wild mushroom poisoning often occurs when collecting and eating wild mushrooms growing in forests, fields, along streams, hills, etc. People cannot distinguish or are subjective in distinguishing between poisonous mushrooms and edible mushrooms.
Absolutely do not believe in false folk experiences such as: mushrooms with insects on them, mushrooms that change color with silver chopsticks are not poisonous.
Because the consequences of eating poisonous mushrooms in the forest, along streams and creeks are very dangerous, mild cases cause digestive disorders, vomiting, acute diarrhea, abdominal pain. If more severe, it will cause damage to the liver, kidneys, and nerves.
Even cause rapid death after 6-48 hours if not treated promptly.
Doctor Nguyen Cong Minh recommends: If someone accidentally eats a suspected poisonous mushroom, family members need to take the following measures to rescue the victim:
Induce vomiting if the victim is conscious. Give activated charcoal (if available). Take the victim to the nearest medical facility immediately and bring a sample of the mushroom (if available).
Treatment at home: Only perform when the patient is conscious, not having convulsions, not in a coma, not having respiratory failure. Use warm salt water or tickle the throat with a feather to induce vomiting. You can use your finger to stimulate the throat. Do not force vomiting if the patient is unconscious, as it can easily cause choking.
Mushroom poisoning is very dangerous, do not self-treat at home. Many poisonous mushrooms cause liver, kidney, and nerve damage and symptoms appear late (6 - 24 hours), at which point it is very dangerous.
