Why Qingming Sugarcane poisons snakes?
It turned out that the poisonous snake is not sugar cane itself, but a moldy, discolored "red heart" or "black heart" sugar cane.
Because sugarcane contains sufficient sugar and water, the Qingming season is relatively humid, and with warmer temperatures, sugar cane is prone to mildew, and sugarcane that turns moldy turns red, which is what we commonly call red heart sugar cane.
After the moldy sugar cane is cut, there is a red filament on the section, which contains a neurotoxin - 3-nitropropionic acid. Less than 0.5 grams of this toxin can cause signs of poisoning, when serious Can cause coma and respiratory failure.
What are the symptoms of moldy sugar cane poisoning?
