Poisoning by fish
During the heat fish poisoning happens very often. Alas, fish is a product for which very specific storage conditions are needed, otherwise it can release toxins. It would seem, why should it give off poisonous substances, because fish is a product of health. But, unfortunately, with improper storage, any health product turns into poison.
Poisoning by fish is divided into two categories:
- Cholera-like form of poisoning.
- Paralytic form of poisoning.
The first category is characterized by the fact that poisoning occurs due to eating poisonous fish. Remember that during the spawning period (periodlaying eggs), liver, caviar, milk of such fish as perch, beluga, pike, burbot and barbel become poisonous. Sometimes a man develops a Yuksovsky (Sartlan) disease, which can end fatal. When you use poisonous fish for food, you first have signs of food poisoning, then convulsions begin and eventually you can refuse kidneys and liver. This disease has not been scientifically studied, but scientists warn that the toxins of fish are even more dangerous than toxins of fungi, so you need to eat fish very carefully. With children, be extremely careful, because a child can not eat all the fish.
While you are waiting for a doctor, Start acting immediately: Give the patient a glass of soapy water, whichshould cause vomiting. If vomiting is not present - cause it mechanically. Soap for this procedure should be taken alkaline. After vomiting, give the patient a laxative immediately. Thus, the chances of a quick recovery will be greater. The doctor must make an enema and prescribe the necessary medications.
The second form of poisoning is paralytic. This is a common food poisoning, whichaccompanied by nausea, bitterness in the mouth, a decrease in temperature and diarrhea. It is necessary to rinse the stomach in time, induce vomiting, take a laxative and drink plenty of fluids to remove particularly dangerous bacteria and substances.
After washing the stomach should be takenA warm bath after which to wrap up in a blanket, having preliminary put on a stomach a heating pad or a warm compress. You can drink very strong tea, warm red wine and well-brewed coffee. If there was a urticaria or a suspicious rash - do not rush to takepills against allergies, let the stomach rest. A rash appears when the toxins start to come out. But, alas, sometimes this rash will appear with the subsequent use of fish. Usually hives occur after overeating fish and seafood, so poisoning with fish does not always cause allergies to fish.
Poisoning by fish disrupts metabolism, however, like any other poisoning. To avoid discomfort in the stomach, sit on a vegetable diet. Two weeks will be enough. Try to temporarily exclude from the food fatty foods, sweets and alcohol. Do not abuse and citrus. Eat vegetables and fruits in moderation, meat is better to eat cooked, and fish should not be eaten yet (although you will not soon need to use it after poisoning).
Poisoning fish should not cause you to panic. Immediately take measures that aregastric lavage. Remember that the fish is stored at a temperature of about 1 ° C. Do not defrost the fish, if you do not decide that you will definitely cook something from it. This fish immediately begins to deteriorate and release toxins.
