Introduction: April 16, Guangzhou (jianchenming ninggonghong) a food poisoning accident of "Clenbuterol" occurred in Suixi County, Guangdong Province recently, causing 31 people to have poisoning symptoms Today, the reporter learned from Suixi County's epidemic prevention department that after timely treatment by medical staff, 31 poisoned people's bodies have all returned to normal It was found that it was caused by taking pork with "antiasthmatic powder" It is understood that this is the first food poisoning accident caused by "Clenbuterol" in Zhanjiang Thirty five villagers in Zhuwu village, Tianxi village committee, Hetou Town, Suixi County ate about 50 to 150 grams of pig offal and pork that Zhu had slaughtered without permission Thirty one of them suffered from heart palpitation, rapid heartbeat, headache, dizziness, numbness and weakness of limbs and other poisoning symptoms about 30 minutes after eating According to the literature, when people eat meat containing 20 micrograms of clenbuterol, it can cause poisoning It is estimated that this batch of patients take 140-420 micrograms of clenbuterol "Clenbuterol" is clenbuterol hydrochloride, also known as Clenbuterol and clenbuterol, with the chemical name of TERT adrenaline It is white or almost white crystalline powder, odorless, bitter taste Because the chemical properties of the product are stable, the general heating method can not destroy it The drug is a powerful agonist, can cause sympathetic excitation, in the treatment dose, with relaxation of tracheal smooth muscle, used in the treatment of asthma In the early 1980s, it was accidentally found that clenbuterol hydrochloride can change the metabolic pathway of nutrients, promote the synthesis of protein in animal muscles, especially skeletal muscles, inhibit the synthesis and accumulation of fat, thus improving the carcass quality, accelerating the growth rate and increasing the lean meat by more than 10% So, call it "Clenbuterol." According to reports, the cause of this "Clenbuterol" food poisoning accident was caused by the fact that the pigs raised by the owners of pigs suffered from asthma They bought 25g of "antiasthmatic powder" from unidentified people and slaughtered the pigs only 5 days after taking it This is an example of "people treat pigs, pigs make people sick" caused by unscientific drug use to treat asthma in pigs Zhanjiang Epidemic Prevention Department reminded the majority of pig owners to learn from this: when pigs suffer from asthma, they must be treated with relevant drugs under the diagnosis and treatment of veterinarians, and do not throw drugs randomly, so as to avoid adverse consequences (author:) share to feed Weibo share to:
