What to do for walnut-steamed chicken poisoning

After poisoning from stewed chicken with walnuts, stop consuming it immediately, induce vomiting promptly to expel the toxin, replenish adequate fluids, retain any leftover food, and record symptoms of poisoning. Quickly take emergency measures to reduce toxin absorption. If severe vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, weakness, or confusion occurs, seek medical attention immediately.

1. Stop eating immediately: Once symptoms such as nausea or abdominal pain appear, discontinue consumption of the remaining stewed chicken with walnuts right away to avoid further intake of toxins and prevent worsening of poisoning symptoms.

2. Promptly induce vomiting: During the early stage of poisoning and if the person is conscious, drink warm water and then press the back of the tongue to induce vomiting. This helps expel undigested food from the stomach and reduces further absorption of toxins.

3. Replenish adequate fluids: After vomiting or diarrhea, drink moderate amounts of warm saline solution or light sugar water to replace lost fluids and electrolytes, preventing dehydration and bodily dysfunction.

4. Retain leftover food: Keep a small portion of the remaining stewed chicken with walnuts and its cooking ingredients for doctors to test the toxin components after seeking medical care, providing evidence for targeted treatment.

5. Record poisoning symptoms: Carefully document the time of onset, specific symptoms, and severity—such as number of vomiting episodes and characteristics of diarrhea—to provide accurate information for medical diagnosis.

After symptoms subside, maintain a diet of light, easily digestible liquid foods such as rice broth or noodle soup. Avoid greasy or spicy foods that may irritate the gastrointestinal tract. Ensure sufficient rest and avoid physical exertion. In the future, when preparing stewed chicken with walnuts, ensure all ingredients are fresh and thoroughly cooked.
