Stop taking overnight meals as a traditional virtue! Recently, Jin Wen's mother went to the doctor because of abdominal pain after eating overnight vegetables. She was diagnosed with food poisoning and was hospitalized, which almost caused sepsis. The nutritionist pointed out that I hope this incident can give everyone a warning, especially in Taiwan, the hot and humid weather can easily lead to food spoilage. You should pay more attention to hygiene and preservation to avoid harm to health.

In addition to Jinwen's mother, Cai Xiuwen, director of the nutrition department of Nantou Hospital, mentioned that a few days ago in Nantou, Miss Chen also went to the doctor because of diarrhea. It turned out that her mother-in-law left the food on the dining table after meals. She felt that the weather was getting colder, and the food It will not spoil, it will not be stored in ice, and it will be saved for the next meal. As a result, Ms. Chen was due to the fact that the cabbage fried at noon for dinner had an obvious sour taste, and then began to have diarrhea and other discomforts.

Cai Xiuwen said that common symptoms of food poisoning include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fever, headache and weakness, sometimes accompanied by blood or pus, but not all symptoms occur at the same time.

The type of patient and the food and other factors.

People with particularly weak immunity will have more severe symptoms and may even die from food poisoning. Symptoms of general food poisoning usually last 1 or 2 days, and some last from 1 week to 10 days.

Cai Xiuwen said that in general, the most suitable temperature for microbial growth is 30-65 degrees, so avoid placing it at room temperatureFor too long, the bacteria will increase rapidly.

If you cook a large amount of food at one time, you should divide it into small packages after cooking, put them in the freezer, and thaw them when you want to eat them to avoid repeated heating, which will cause the loss of nutrients and easily increase bacteria.

Cai Xiuwen reminds that food should be fully heated before eating to minimize bacteria and it will be safer to eat.

Cold dishes and leftovers to be heated should be served separately to avoid cross-contamination. Nutrients in food, especially vitamins, are quickly lost after cooking, so it should be cooked quickly at low temperature and eaten as soon as possible.
