"Niacin deficiency is not an infectious disease?" Zhang Yu asked.

"It's not an infectious disease, it's pellagra caused by a lack of niacin in the diet. ”

Zhang Yu didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

If it is not an infectious disease, it means that there is no need to restrict pilgrims from coming to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and this epidemic has been lifted.

However, the resident pilgrims fell ill because of their faulty recipes.

"Comrade CDC, our temple has been using this recipe for a long time, and there is no problem, are you sure that this disease is related to the recipe?"

"Pellagra often occurs in malnourished and long-term vegetarian people, the deceased Zhu Qianqian and the other 4 pilgrims who live there, regardless of skin symptoms, mucosal symptoms, gastrointestinal symptoms and psychiatric symptoms all meet the definition of pellagra, and it takes a period of accumulation for pellagra to develop, which is also the result of your temple's long-term use of this vegetarian recipe, I suggest that the corn staple food in the recipe be replaced with flour or rice, and the complementary food should be added with legume products. ”

The CDC group took samples and left, and the police also closed the case, and several permanent pilgrims immediately went to the hospital, and after an examination, it was indeed niacin deficiency as Li Bai said.

Pellagra is not difficult to treat, as long as niacin is supplemented in time, it can be cured.

A mystery of a strange curse inside the temple is solved.

——

Yunhai Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Emergency Office.

Li Bai is writing a summary report on the epidemic.

The Thousand Buddha Temple supplies vegetarian food to the outside world and accepts pilgrims for long-term residence.

Because corn is the staple food in vegetarian food, and there are no other complementary foods such as soy products, pilgrims lack niacin in their bodies after long-term consumption, and have skin, mucous membrane, gastrointestinal and psychiatric symptoms.

The deceased, Zhu Qianqian, suffered from intestinal diseases before her death, and her absorption was insufficient, coupled with the decrease in her intake, which led to severe mental symptoms and even suicide.

Other resident pilgrims were hospitalized and their symptoms improved and they were discharged one after another.

After writing the summary report, Li Bai was preparing to file it, and Xiao Linzi's avatar flashed in the mobile phone chat software.

Xiao Linzi went online and sent a message, "Xiaobai, I've been trying to lose weight recently, but I suddenly don't want to lose weight today." ”

Angel Xiaobai sent a questioning avatar, "Why?"

Xiao Linzi: "Do you know about the Thousand Buddha Temple?"

Angel Xiaobai: "I know, it's boiling on the Internet." ”

Xiao Linzi: "Alas, I thought it was a mysterious curse, but it turned out to be a disaster caused by vegetarian fasting." ”

Angel Xiaobai: "Many people are vegetarian and do not get sick, in fact, only the combination is reasonable, and there is no problem with vegetarianism." ”

Kobayashi: "Actually, I prefer to eat meat. ”

Angel Xiaobai: "Okay, the tree hole girl who likes to eat meat, with meat and vegetables, is healthy and not tired." I still have a 4th love letter to you here, receive. ”

Angel Xiaobai sent a document.

Receive, click on.

As with the style of previous love letters, the full text is as follows.

AIDS: Wow, it's the first time I've seen so many vitamins in the circle of friends to like.

Pellagra reverts to AIDS: I am caused by a vitamin deficiency.

AIDS Returns to Pellagra: Which Are You Missing?

Pellagra reverts to AIDS: I am deficient in niacin.

Niacin: Lack of niacin is the causative factor of pellagra.

Dry eye disease: I was suffering from a lack of vitamin A.

Beriberi: I am deficient in vitamin B1.

Rickets: I was suffering from vitamin D deficiency.

AIDS: Vitamins are so important, once they are deficient, there are many diseases.

Pellagra reverts to AIDS: Vitamin deficiency causes no less harm than viruses and bacteria.

AIDS Returns to Pellagra: How Good Are You?

Pellagra reverts to AIDS: once the human body lacks niacin, it will cause indigestion, loss of appetite, diarrhea, constipation, insomnia, erythema on the skin, followed by the formation of herpes, scabs, skin becomes rough, and in severe cases, there will be mental depression, mental confusion, delirium, and even coma.

AIDS: Oh, niacin is also a vitamin?

Niacin Returns AIDS: Well, I'm a B vitamin.

AIDS: I want to see the autobiography of niacin.

Pellagra: Niacin autobiography posted up.

Niacin: Here's my autobiography.

I'm niacin.

Chemical name: 3-picolinic acid

Synonyms: nicotinic acid, nicotine acid, anti-leprosy factor

I belong to the vitamin B3 family.

I am widely found in vegetables, fruits, eggs, milk, animal offal.

Pure I am white crystals.

I have a wide range of applications, including as a pharmaceutical intermediate, as well as in the manufacture of dyes, electroplating, and luminescent materials.

I am also an important component of all living beings.

As one of the essential vitamins for the human body, I play an important role.

I can convert it into nicotinamide in animals, which is a component of coenzyme I and coenzyme II., and is involved in life processes.

I can also affect the body's hematopoietic function, maintain the normal function of the skin, and other basic life activities.

Once my body is deficient due to various reasons, various symptoms will appear.

The skin function is impaired and becomes rough.

Endocrine disorders, digestive function is affected.

The spirit becomes depressed and even insane.

These symptoms are collectively known as niacin deficiency, also known as pellagra.

For the treatment of deficiency, in addition to oral niacin or B vitamins such as niacin, as long as it is a dietary treatment.

Add liver, lean meat, eggs and milk, soy products, and green leafy vegetables to your daily diet.

As long as I don't eat too much, maintain a good lifestyle, and don't abuse drugs, the diseases caused by my deficiency rarely appear.

AIDS: Pellagra is not very serious, the fatality rate is not high, the scale of the epidemic is not good, and it only occasionally appears in the population.

Pellagra reverts to AIDS: A long time ago, when human productivity was not developed, and we often did not have enough to eat, or we could only eat certain foods such as corn, and the intake of niacin was insufficient, I had a high incidence in the population at that time.

Rickets reverts to pellagra: Yes, a long time ago, human beings were still trying to fill their stomachs, which often led to insufficient intake of various vitamins, and my rickets was due to insufficient vitamin D intake.

AIDS: Hahaha, vitamin deficiency is not enough to eat.

Pellagra reverts to AIDS: No, no, not eating enough is only one of the reasons, inadequate intake, picky eating, medication interference, birth defects or gastrointestinal disorders can all affect niacin absorption.

Influenza: Vitamin deficiencies can be complicated.

Niacin restores the flu: Yes, vitamins are a large family, and a deficiency of each can cause abnormalities in the body.
