A plate of cold cucumbers almost killed the uncle, just because of his behavior...
In the summer, are the fresh fruits and vegetables at home or the leftovers that you don't want to throw away used to being kept in the refrigerator? A seemingly small move may bring great hidden dangers to health.
Recently, a 67-year-old uncle in Hangzhou entered the hospital because he ate a plate of cold cucumbers refrigerated overnight, which induced septic shock.

Attending physician of the Department of Gastroenterology Han Liang:
"The uncle had symptoms of nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea, accompanied by a chill and high fever. Blood pressure is only 70-80 mm Hg, downward pressure is 40-50 mm Hg, and inflammatory indicators are very high. At that time, we considered him to have sepsis due to a bacterial infection with septic shock. ”
After anti-infection treatment by doctors, Uncle Huang's vital signs gradually recovered. The doctor told reporters that the temperature is high in summer, food is easy to breed bacteria, and putting it in the refrigerator can not prevent the growth of bacteria. Once these bacteria enter the body, they can cause symptoms such as vomiting, fever, diarrhea, etc. The number of recent visits to such patients has also increased by 20% compared with before.

"Like cold cucumbers are not cooked at high temperatures, it is recommended that such cold dishes be eaten fresh, and the consumption time is generally not more than two hours. We also recommend that food that has been cooked at high temperatures should be eaten for no more than eight hours after refrigeration. ”
In addition, there are bacteria that are more active at low temperatures. For example, Yersinia and Listeria in meat can survive normally and multiply in large numbers in cold environments.
For the use of refrigerators, doctors also give advice.

"Food should not be frozen in the freezer for too long, the refrigerator should not be overfilled, and raw and cooked food should be separated separately. In addition, it is recommended that the refrigerator be cleaned and disinfected regularly with power off, and if you find moldy food in the refrigerator, clean it up as soon as possible. ”
