The 2-year-old boy must live the plant because of the mistake of adults, parents regret it is late

According to Sohu, a 2-year-old boy in Phu Thien, Fujian, China, after eating snails, was poisoned, becoming a living plant.

Little Xiao Kang and his grandfather went to eat snail, then 2 or 3 hours later, the two grandchildren began to show a weakened whole body. After being brought to the emergency hospital by his family, his grandfather recovered, but Tieu Khang because of his young age, his resistance was low, and at the same time he ate a lot of snails so the condition was very serious.

During his time in the hospital, the boy appeared to have difficulty breathing and cardiac arrest. The doctor said, it is difficult to exclude the possibility that Xiao Kang could very well become a plant living person, leaving serious neurological sequelae. After finding out, the doctor learned about the type of snail 2 his grandchildren ate was called serrated mud.

Dr Vuong Hau Hung, Deputy Head of Emergency Department of Fujian City's First People's Hospital said: The serrated sludge is a kind of mud snail, Nassarius papilosus scientific name, containing tetrodotoxin, this is a toxin. Damage to the nervous system, more serious can be fatal.

However, in recent years, due to changes in the marine environment and the frequent occurrence of toxic red tide, it has resulted in toxic production in algae and dead bodies of marine animals, when snails eat all kinds. These corpses, toxins still exist in the stomach and accumulate into tetrodotoxin. Tetrodotoxin is much more toxic than arsenic, and eating about 0.5mg can be fatal.

Experts recommend when food poisoning is as follows:

- Causing vomiting: To limit the toxin absorbed into the body, the first aid measure should be stimulated so that the poisoned person vomits the food in the stomach out. You can use your hand to wash the patient's tongue to stimulate vomiting.

- Give the patient plenty of water and rest: After the patient vomits and goes out, the body will be dehydrated. Therefore, it is necessary to rehydrate patients by drinking plenty of filtered water, drinking oresol water or drinking roasted rice water to compensate patients.

- Call 911 or bring the patient to the nearest medical facility: Even if the first aid was given, the patient may still be in danger at any time, should take the patient to the nearest medical facility. .
