Botox

Botox, also known as Botaxerbacteria, is a Gram -positive anaerobbage. It must grow and secrete botulinum toxin under anaerobic conditions. Botox toxin can cause muscle nerve paralysis and corresponding symptoms. Direct reason.

Why are you so familiar? No ...

That's right! It is the well -known botulinum toxin, which is currently the most poisonous toxic.

But in the medical community, doctors have strictly grasped the dosage and method of use, which not only has a beauty effect, but also can treat many diseases.

In order to avoid botulinum poisoning, we should pay attention to the following points in daily life:

1. I found that canned food is expanded or found that there is a odor after opening the can.

2. Vacuum packaging food still needs to be refrigerated in the refrigerator. Vacuum packaging foods can only avoid the growth of oxygen bacteria and cannot avoid the growth of anaerobic bacteria such as Botox.

Therefore, we want to buy vacuum packaging foods that are sold and preserved. After buying back, we should put it in the refrigerator as soon as possible.

Botox toxin is not heat -resistant. It is best to heat up to 100 ° C before consumed by vacuum packaging foods, and continuously heated for more than 10 minutes to destroy the botulinum toxin that may exist in the food.

3. Try not to make and do not eat homemade pickled and fermented foods, such as bean paste, soy sauce, tempeh, stinky tofu, etc.

4. Be sure to eat cooked food in mind, cook the meat products and cans, and eat it. Do not eat it because of the convenience of the picture.
