Pathogenesis: The salivary glands and skin glands secrete toxins. Eating poisoned quail (especially the head and skin), eating excessive amounts of wolfberry preparations, or contamination of wounds with venom can cause poisoning. The main components of scorpion venom: diterpene alcohol compounds (including scorpion toxin and aglycone), function similar to digitalis, can stimulate the vagus nerve, directly affect the heart muscle, causing arrhythmia. In addition, there are stimulatory gastrointestinal tract, anticonvulsant and local anesthetic effects; catecholamine compounds, vasoconstrictor and pressure-raising effects; sulfonium alkyl compounds, can cause hallucinations, have a similar nicotinic effect on the peripheral nerves.
Clinical symptoms: The incubation period is 0.5-1 hour, the main symptoms are: digestive system: severe nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, ascites, shock; breathing and circulatory system: chest tightness, palpitations, cyanosis, arrhythmia, electrocardiogram may appear ST, T change and conduction block of Rehmannia poisoning. Severe cases can lead to A-Swiss syndrome, respiratory and circulatory failure; nervous system: dizziness, headache, lethargy, sweating, numbness in the lips and extremities, convulsions; scorpion venom into the eye, can cause eye irritation, and even blindness. Exfoliative dermatitis occasionally.
Diagnosis: Accidentally swallowing or overdosing a Chinese wolfberry herb. Symptoms of poisoning should be considered poisoning.
Treatment: Exclude poisons according to the general principles of poisoning treatment, symptomatic treatment, similar to digitalis poisoning symptoms, can be oral or intravenous infusion of diluted potassium chloride; conduction block available atropine. Add liquid and stop scaring. Patients with respiratory and circulatory failures are treated accordingly. If eye contamination and venom, you can use eye drops or rinse with comfrey juice.
Commonly referred to as the "ha ha ha", there are many species, and China's most distributed are Chinese big clams and black clams.
