Sword Bean

In daily life, there are many kinds of beans, and they are called differently in different places, such as lentils, kidney beans, green beans, sword beans, etc. They are vegetables that people like to eat. However, in recent years, cases of bean poisoning are not uncommon. So, how should we provide timely first aid for bean poisoning?

How to treat sword bean poisoning

1. Poisoning ingredients and mechanisms

It is generally believed that the toxic components related to bean poisoning are saponin and hemagglutinin contained in beans, which have coagulation effects.

2. Causes and prevention of poisoning

The main reason is that the beans are not cooked thoroughly, which causes poisoning after eating. If they are blanched in water and then made into salads or stir-fried, the toxic components contained in them cannot be completely destroyed. Generally, poisoning rarely occurs when they are stewed. Beans are best stewed, and when stir-fried, do not be too greedy for crispness and tenderness. They should be fully heated to make them thoroughly cooked.

3. Symptoms of poisoning

The incubation period is from half an hour to three hours, and can reach 15 hours for the elderly. After eating, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, dizziness, headaches occur. A few people experience chest tightness, palpitations, cold sweats, cold hands and feet, numbness of limbs, chills, etc. The body temperature is generally normal. Generally, the course of the disease is short, recovery is fast, and the prognosis is good.

4. Diagnosis

If there is a history of eating undercooked beans and the symptoms of poisoning are mainly gastroenteritis, the hemagglutinin in the beans can be tested if conditions permit.

5. First aid and treatment

Usually no treatment is needed, and the vomiting and diarrhea will heal quickly. Symptomatic treatment can be given to patients with severe vomiting and diarrhea, and low-molecular-weight dextran, heparin, etc. can be given to patients with coagulation.

At the same time, experts warn: To prevent bean poisoning, when eating beans, they must be fully fried and cooked thoroughly. Do not just blanch them in boiling water and then make a cold dish, let alone make a cold dish directly. This can avoid poisoning.
