What should be paid attention to in food hygiene after heavy rain?

Recently, due to the continuous heavy rainfall in many places, there have even been floods and landslides in many places. Although the rainstorm weather has passed, we should pay more attention to the diet problem, because with the arrival of high temperature and high humidity weather, intestinal infectious diseases and various food-borne diseases are prone to occur. Let's take a look at the precautions of food hygiene.

? Don't eat flooded food.

The continuous rainstorm flooded many things. Some people think that food is just flooded and does not affect eating. This idea is all wet! Because waterlogging in urban rainstorm will wash a lot of garbage and waste into the water, bacteria will multiply rapidly, and food will be easily contaminated by microorganisms in sewage, which will lead to rot and deterioration, which will be invisible to the naked eye and may be poisoned if eaten, so don't eat flooded food indiscriminately to save that money, and don't salvage food floating on the water because of gluttony.

? Don't eat moldy food.

After heavy rainfall, the humidity and temperature in the air are relatively high, which simply creates the most suitable growth conditions for bacteria and molds. Food is easily contaminated by microorganisms and rotted. Rice, noodles, noodles and other foods at home are prone to mildew if stored improperly, which will lead to gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea and vomiting after eating, so be sure to ensure that the food is not spoiled before eating.

Don't eat wild mushrooms

After the rain, all kinds of fungi grow vigorously. Many people use their own experience to pick mushrooms to eat. Their temporary appetite may bring irreparable tragedy. There have been many accidents about wild poisonous mushrooms poisoning. A casual search on the Internet is a worrying case. Let's have a long snack.

Don't eat food from unknown sources.

After the rainstorm, there may be a large number of livestock, fish and shrimp floating in the river, and some people eat the meat of drowned chickens, ducks, pigs, cows and other livestock at home, thinking that "pies have fallen from the sky." In fact, it is impossible to confirm how and how long these things died. Soaking water is very likely to be contaminated by germs or toxins, causing food-borne diseases or intestinal infectious diseases.

Don't drink water

Under the influence of heavy rain, water and electricity may be cut off in some places. In order to solve the present dilemma, we should drink raw water directly, which may be polluted. Even sterilized water should be boiled before drinking. After all, there will still be some pathogenic microorganisms that we can't see with the naked eye after disinfection.

If the water supply and power supply cannot be restored in a short time, it is recommended to buy bottled water or bottled water that meets the hygiene standards. Pay attention to the water polluted by the flood, even unopened bottles/bottled water should not be drunk.

In addition to the above points, we should pay special attention not to eat, and take preventive measures to reduce the occurrence of diseases:

Disinfect tableware in time

No matter whether the tableware has been soaked or not, it should be washed again. Put the washed tableware into the pot and add water to boil 15 minutes to achieve disinfection effect, and then put it into the disinfection cupboard for disinfection. Do both!

Maintain environmental hygiene

After the heavy rain, the environment will be wetter and more prone to bacteria than usual. Remember to wash your hands frequently and do a good job of personal hygiene. In addition, you can add some disinfectant to the water, clean the floor and furniture, and let the bacteria go back! Step back. Step back.

Mosquitoes, flies, cockroaches and mice will also increase. Remember to cover the unfinished things in time and clean up the garbage in time.

Keep a good mood

People's mood will change with the change of the surrounding environment. Rainstorm weather can easily make people feel depressed and tired, and there will be anxiety and irritability. We should adjust our mentality in time, maintain a good sleep quality and a healthy diet, which can improve our resistance.

Rainstorm and flood disasters will eventually pass. I hope everyone can get out of trouble safely and pay attention to food hygiene. Remember to see a doctor in time if there is anything unusual. May we all be well ~
