The delicious cicada in summer is the favorite of many people. The meat is very tender and very popular with many people. But some people are in a coma because of eating cicada. What's the matter? It's actually anaphylactic shock caused by eating cicada. So for those with special physique, we should pay attention to it.
In the early morning of July 8, 20-year-old Xu was rushed to the second hospital of Yinzhou District of Ningbo by an emergency vehicle, because he had 20 fried cicadas the night before.
The surging news learned from the hospital that Xu told the medical staff afterwards that he had heard that fried cicadas were delicious. He had eaten them for the first time on the night of the 7th, and sure enough, they were crispy outside and tender inside. He could not stop eating them and wiped out 20 fried cicadas. Before long, I felt itchy on my body, red rash on my hands and feet, and then I felt dizzy and unconscious.
After diagnosis, Xiao Xu is allergic shock caused by heteroprotein, and his rash is allergic dermatitis. The allergen is fried cicada. Fortunately, the patient was treated in time, and the symptoms were improved and the vital signs were restored to normal.
It is reported that the protein content of cicada is very rich. After some people with allergic constitution eat, the immune system will attack them as' invaders', release a large number of specific immunoglobulins, and the body will have allergic reactions. Mild symptoms include rash, pruritus, vomiting, diarrhea, anaphylactic shock, and even asphyxia due to laryngeal edema.
Summer is the peak of eating cicadas. Many hospitals in Ningbo recently received similar patients. On the evening of September 9, Mingzhou Hospital of Zhejiang University, also located in Yinzhou District, also received a woman in her 50s who was allergic to food. She suffered from erythema, dyspnea and low blood pressure, which improved after treatment.
'food allergy often occurs in people with allergic constitution. This kind of allergy has little to do with the amount of food they eat. Even if they eat little, they also have the risk of causing serious allergy. Therefore, once you have a history of food allergy, you should avoid re contact. Cicadas are rich in protein, known as the "king of protein" in food;. In addition to cicada, common protein allergens include seafood, soybeans, eggs, milk and other foods.
