Chapter 8 Gastric lavage
Soon Chen Xu saw the poisoned Erxi, the little guy was about nine years old.
Yesterday, it was a group of them who caught crabs by the river together, and saw Chen Jiang fall into the river after being bitten by a poisonous snake, and then a few of them shouted for help and attracted Niu Dashi to drag Jiang Chen up from the river, otherwise Chen Xu killed the old lady just a few hours after crossing over, and it is destined to become a psychological shadow for a lifetime.
At this time, Erxi was lying on the ground convulsing constantly, sweating profusely, his hair was already soaked, and there were blue-gray foam coming out of his mouth.
"Xiao Xu, take a look, what's wrong with the second baby?" The middle-aged man anxiously pointed to the child lying on the ground.
"Let me see first!"
Chen Xu squatted down and sniffed a little blue-gray liquid with his hand, there was a sour and smelly smell, although he didn't know what he ate, but this situation was indeed food poisoning.
"Quick, bring a chopstick!"
Chen Xu commanded, and a middle-aged woman quickly found a chopstick and handed it to him.
"Ma Erbo, pick up Erxi upright and don't move!"
"Good!" The middle-aged man picked up Erxi and hugged him in his arms.
Chen Xu pinched Erxi's cheek with his hand, pried open his mouth with chopsticks, stretched it straight into his throat and stirred it a few times.
"Wow~Wow~" Erxi opened his mouth and spit out two mouthfuls of sour and smelly gray-green liquid, and suddenly the whole room was filled with a thick sour smell.
But apparently these two mouthfuls did not spit out, Chen Xu had to poke Erxi's throat a few more times with chopsticks, but Erxi didn't spit out anything except for a few retching in a daze.
"Go make a big bowl of warm salt water!" Chen Xu saw that the chopsticks were not stimulating, so he hurriedly ordered again.
"Okay, right away!" The woman went to another room in a panic, quickly brought a large bowl of water, and then brought a salt shaker and said, "Xiao Xu, I don't know how much to put in!" ”
Chen Xu didn't have time to explain, so he directly grabbed two handfuls of salt with his hands and put them into the big bowl, and then quickly stirred them with chopsticks and then pinched Erxi's mouth and poured them all in one go.
"Go, get another bowl!"
After throwing the bowl on the table, Chen Xu ordered to pry open Erxi's mouth again at the same time, and poked it lightly with chopsticks deep into his throat a few times.
"Wow~~Wow~~"
Erxi opened his mouth again and vomited, and the large amount of salt water that had just been poured mixed with pieces of turquoise residue and debris spat out.
This time he vomited for two minutes, until he couldn't spit out anything anymore, Chen Xu poured him a big bowl of warm salt water, and then induced vomiting again, after three times in a row, after seeing that only water was left to spit out, and no residue could be seen, Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Ma Erbo, put Erxi on the bed first, cover the quilt to keep warm, if there are eggs, feed him half a bowl of egg whites, if not, boil some rice soup!" ”
"Good!" The middle-aged man nodded again and again and went into the house with Erxi in his arms.
And Chen Xu was also sweating beads on his forehead, and at the same time, he was helpless for no reason.
Treat food poisoning, gastric lavage is the fastest treatment and first aid method, the sooner it is found, the more timely it is treated, the weaker the effect of the toxin, and the better the effect of treatment, if it is a later generation, in addition to vomiting, the toxin can also be quickly discharged through a large number of infusions, but at the moment there is no such condition at all, and after vomiting, you can only do your best to obey the fate of God.
And just when Chen Xu was busy working, several nearby families, young and old, ran over, and watched Erxi vomit and be taken away, and then they all came over with surprised faces.
Chen Xu squatted on the ground, picked up a piece of green residue spit out by Erxi with chopsticks, and looked at it several times, but he didn't recognize what it was.
"Do you know what Erxi ate?" Chen Xu looked up and asked a group of people standing beside him.
"Brother Xiaoxu, I know, it's a wild fruit, right at the foot of the mountain!" An eight- or nine-year-old child immediately shouted.
"Take me to see it!" When Chen Xu heard this, he threw his chopsticks to the ground and stood up.
So a group of people followed them out, walked around the hut and walked seventy or eighty meters away, and saw a large-leaved tree three or four meters high growing in a thorn, and a large number of blue-green fruits the size of ping-pong balls hanging between the branches and leaves.
"Tung oil~"
Chen Xu recognized this tree at a glance, and then his face changed greatly, and he quickly looked around a few times, and found that there were indeed traces of trampling under the tree, and there were many fruits falling from the grass, and a few of them were half gnawed and thrown in it.
Tung oil is a kind of oil economic plant, mainly picking tung oil seeds used to extract oil, in later generations is a vegetable oil with very huge industrial value, Chen Xu remembered that when he was a child, his grandfather also used tung oil to soak fishing nets, which can play a role in anti-corrosion.
However, the whole plant is poisonous, especially the fruits and seeds are highly toxic, and if you eat it by mistake, you will have dizziness, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fever, angina, paralysis and other poisoning symptoms, and the possibility of death is very high if the treatment is not timely.
Chen Xu twitched a few times and picked up the tung oil fruit that he had gnawed a few bites, and picked up a stick to pick up the thorns and grass around him to find it.
"Brother Xiaoxu, what are you looking for?" A child asked.
"A kind of purple flower-knotted small green bean, a weed that looks similar to a mushroom, called licorice, have you ever heard of it?" Chen Xu asked while looking for it.
"Xiao Xu, we don't know the name you said, but there are too many weeds that look like them!" A middle-aged woman in her forties with gray hair said.
"Then split up to help me find it, you have to hurry, otherwise I'm afraid Erxi won't be able to save it!" Chen Xu ordered a few adults and a group of children to quickly scatter and look for them in all directions.
"Take your sticks and watch out for poisonous snakes!" Chen Xu couldn't help but remind loudly.
Now is the season when the weather is warm and the venomous snake comes out of the hole, after a winter of hibernation, it is also the time when the venomous snake is the most aggressive and venomous, and it is the easiest to be attacked in this inaccessible mountain wilderness.
Chen Xu didn't want to lie down a few more if he didn't save one.
It's okay to save it, but if you can't save it, you're a sinner.
And the rhythm of the production and life that I planned last night will be disrupted.
A group of people brandished long and short sticks along the foot of the mountain in all directions, and after a while, someone shouted that they had found it, Chen Xu hurriedly ran over to take a look, and sure enough, he saw a wild leguminous plant, but it was not licorice, so he sighed and said that it was not like this, everyone continued to look for it, so a group of people dispersed again.
Next, someone found a few plants that looked like wild green beans, and Chen Xu had also carefully seen and even tasted them, but they were not licorice.
Soon more than ten minutes passed, and Chen Xu was a little anxious.
