Some people cut off their tongues and cut off half of their chins, and their trachea was cut open, and they could only live the rest of their lives with a tube....
That's right, these people are the victims of betel nut, the so-called "betel nut plus cigarettes, the magic is boundless, betel nut plus wine, immortal!" ”
But it was the black fruit that brought them, who were once "betel nut obsessives", into the abyss of illness.
Until I saw that India's annual betel nut production was as high as 1.2 million tons, ranking first in the world, people couldn't help but wonder, what did this little thing bring to society?
Support the author, it is not easy to write, there will be 5s advertisements in the text, and you can read the full text for free after watching
The temptation of "hammer".
From first-tier cities to eighteenth-tier counties, and even small towns, those small supermarkets, convenience stores, and roadside mobile stalls have betel nuts for sale.
Even some express stations and recycling stations in the community that recycle old clothes have betel nuts, and I don't know when the popularity of betel nuts has quietly caught up with tobacco and alcohol.
In fact, betel nuts like this are generally not specially "purchased" by the boss, and most of the cases are pushed to the door for sale, and there is not only a display fee of 200 yuan per month.
And when there is no stock, you only need to make a phone call, and a special person will come to replenish the stock, and it will never let others see that the store has empty shelves.
So many bosses have accepted that for their own "no harm" thing, although some merchants know the harm of betel nut, but they still bow their heads under the interests, after all, they can't be eaten as a meal....
In the same way, there may be such a situation, because the customer will leave if he can't buy it from you, then he can't bring other consumption, betel nut and cigarette addiction must be bought, he can't even buy the necessities in your store, he won't come back.
But if there are fewer people to buy, the merchant will not enter again, because the shelf life is short and expensive, and it is not cost-effective to press, so the store does not sell cigarettes and betel nuts, and many customers are lost.
And we all know that the profit of betel nut is very large, for merchants A pack of 30 betel nut profit of about 5 yuan, many businesses are easy to lose themselves, so we have to work hard in the society to keep the bottom line, so that we will not be fascinated by temptation.
Became a "face-cutter" because of betel nut
In a hospital in Xiangtan City in 2019, a man named Jing Sijun had just escaped from the hands of the "Grim Reaper", and he was lying on the bed for the second operation.
We can clearly see that Jing Sijun's entire chin is completely wrapped in "thick gauze", and under the gauze is the trachea that has long been riddled with holes, and half of the jaw that has been cut off...
I saw the frail Jing Sijun lying weakly on the bed, but he kept showing everyone the words he had written down with great difficulty, "For the quality of the whole people, the government must crack down", and the wife on the side looked at her husband like this, and she also regretted not being at the beginning...
It turned out that Jing Sijun was caused by oral cancer caused by often "chewing betel nut", and part of Jing Sijun's soft palate and two-thirds of his tongue during the first operation had become the "contribution" of betel nut.
But no one expected that a year later, the tumor recurred on the other side of the mouth, and now Jing Sijun's trachea has been completely cut, and he has lost the dignity of life.
Jing Sijun can only rely on a catheter inserted from his nostrils to his stomach for the rest of his life, constantly delivering nutrient solutions to maintain his life, and the second half of his life has only two words, that is, "alive".
And the culprit of all this is "betel nut", and even his wife can't help but sigh that "all this is caused by betel nut".
Xiangtan's "cultural business card"
This kind of betel nut culture, especially in Xiangtan, is simply ubiquitous, and the way to greet acquaintances is to take out a handful of betel nuts from their pockets and hand them over.
If there is a leader or a member of a superior department at home every time there is a festival, then the betel nut is simply "enough" to eat as much as you want....
Even the patients who are hospitalized in the hospital will have some betel nuts in the bedside table to entertain guests visiting patients, which shows what kind of realm Xiangtan's "betel nut culture" has reached.
Not only adults, but also in Xiangtan, from seventy to eighty, down to young children, have more or less tried the taste of betel nut.
Children can often be seen hungry for betel nut, adults will tear off a small strip of betel nut, stuffed into the child's mouth, the child will eat it immediately will not make trouble, I don't know what it is "coaxing children's artifact".
Therefore, on the streets of Xiangtan, you can often see the juice spit out by people after chewing betel nut, and some people chew it with shell powder and leaves in order to pursue excitement, so the betel nut juice also changes color.
The point is that betel nut juice like this is particularly difficult to clean, and all some tourists often see residues on the ground, which are as scary as "bloodstained".
So many people want to ask, why is betel nut so popular, the key is that the harm is still so great, and everyone still insists on going their own way?
In fact, the betel nut in reality can be equated with "tobacco and alcohol", and no one has ever thought that the body can always be healthy, so not only can it not stop the iron fans from going forward and succeeding, but also can't stop the business psychology that this interest makes people produce in it.
So betel nut as a hot product is no exception, when everyone eats betel nut, these things will be completely "forgotten", and the betel nut production and marketing chain is like nothing happened, restore harmony.
"Devil Fruit" Killer
It has long been an indisputable fact that betel nut is extremely harmful, so in addition to being easy to cause oral cancer, what are the other harms of betel nut?
Long-term chewing of betel nut will not only scratch the oral mucosa and make you suffer from repeated mouth ulcers, but also some toxic arecine will continue to produce chemical irritation through the wound, resulting in lesions of the oral mucosa.
Then it will lead to the human body not being able to speak, unable to eat, and will keep dripping and finally trying to control the disease, so you have to perform surgery on your face to save your life, which is known as the "half-faced person".
