There has been an outbreak of food poisoning at Baolin Tea House in Taiwan. A total of 18 cases of physical illness have been reported, including 2 deaths. Wang Pisheng, deputy director of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, confirmed tonight that there was “rice fermentation acid”. Professor Jiang Zhigang of the National Taiwan University Institute of Toxicology said that the samples of the deceased confirmed that the most serious consequence of zymomycin is this. That all “the cells of the body immediately lose energy.” When the cells cannot function properly, every patient will suffer from severe liver failure. , Metabolic acidosis, etc., leading to general paralysis.

Jiang Zhigang explained that proper energy is required for cell operation. Mitochondria are like “power plants” in the body and are quite complex. The acidification process generates the necessary energy adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Simply put, it is energy coin exchange. The body needs this energy. Once “rice fermentation acid” appears, ATP is damaged, which will have serious consequences, causing all cells in the body to instantly lose energy. Cells that consume strong oxygen become damaged. When cells cannot function properly, liver failure, metabolic acidosis, and systemic brain damage will occur. Paralysis of head and heart muscles.

Jiang Zhigang said that when the patient’s gastrointestinal tract cannot function, the mucosa will be damaged, leading to bloody stool, decreased blood pressure, failure, etc. Patients may be seen in pre-hospital cardiorespiratory arrest (OHCA) state when they are sent to the emergency department. Basically, the entire body’s energy ATP becomes damaged, so it can cause morbidity and death within a few hours or a day. The mortality rate in the relevant literature in the past ranged from 30% to 100%, which is quite serious. The half-life of oryzoic acid is 102 hours. An autopsy of a patient’s body shows that it will be halved every four days, so it can still be measured in patients.
