As a rule, people who process street food without gloves, without aprons, do not use pairs to take food like this will be fined from VND 100,000-300,000. But people are carefree (Photo: N.Hà) From the beginning of April until now, the Center of Bach Mai Hospital's poisoning center has received some cases of food poisoning every day. According to Dr. Nguyen Trung Nguyen, the Center for Poison Control, the situation of food poisoning tends to increase strongly in the last ten days, but not an unusual phenomenon.

Early summer is the time of food poisoning . in the season. Do not wait for the ' hot ' sunshine to gradually fade, but every day the sudden increase in temperature is the number of patients hospitalized due to poisoning also increased.

Dr. Nguyen said that while the cause of food poisoning caused by chemicals and natural toxins decreased significantly, the risk of poisoning from microorganisms continued to rise . In particular, there are more than 80% of poisoning from animal-derived food.

At 5 am 10-4, Ms. Do Quynh Trang, 30 years old, Giap Bat, Hanoi was transferred emergencyly at the Anti-Poison Center in the situation of abdominal cramps, vomiting, and circulatory arrhythmias. Trang is diagnosed with acute poisoning. At noon the previous day, Trang went to eat fried veal meat at a rice shop on Giai Phong Street.

Previously, Mr. Doan Van Binh (34 years old, Dong Da) ate fried noodles with beef at a beer shop on Thai Thinh street; Ms. Tran Thi Bich Loc (Giap Bat, Hanoi) has rice, shrimp, bean sprouts and bean sprouts at the popular restaurant next to Giap Bat bus station, also hospitalized for food poisoning.

The section of Buoi - Thuy Khue intersection, at the hour of the break is congested because of the large traffic volume. However, right next to the rock pile of a poorly built, smoky building, this year a lot of heart-breaking goods, plentifully "gather" the city.

Dr. Tram said that in dust often have microorganisms, mold, plus the amount of waste gas containing heavy metals, if contaminated with food will accumulate in the body leading to poisoning . gradually.

Most of the food with potential risks of poisoning has a high content of oil and protein. Foods that are not well prepared, do not eat immediately after cooking, and do not store them carefully, create a favorable environment for bacteria to invade and attack.

For refrigerators, except for the freezer compartment to prevent bacteria from growing at 00C, the cooling compartment has only a limited effect, slowing down the growth of bacteria at temperatures of 2-80C, vegetables can only be Preserve 3-5 days.

Therefore, if you put too many things in the refrigerator, the air is not circulating, the temperature is not guaranteed, the food is left on the cooked furniture, the food is easily dropped, especially the meat will be stored in the kitchen cabinet. products are quickly damaged, easy to poison.
