Chapter 74 So This Is Allergy
Yuanyuan was still unaware of these things at the moment, and he was still a little depressed.
Seeing this, Chao Chao wanted to comfort him and divert his attention.
"Brother, um, are you allergic to mangoes?" She tried hard to find a topic. Thinking of Gong Xingwen having so many rashes on his face, Chao Chao was still frightened and thought that allergies were really terrible things.
Yuanyuan really came back to his senses. He raised his head slightly and said, "Of course not. Didn't we have mango pudding yesterday?"
Chao Chao was stunned, looking confused, "Ah? I, I have also eaten mangoes?" So, she is not allergic either, right?
Yuanyuan couldn't help shaking his head when he saw her confused look, and sighed like a little adult, "How come you don't know anything? It really makes me worry."
Chao Chao felt guilty, "I'm sorry, I'm so ignorant."
Jian Yunsang, "..."
Everyone under the sky: "…" We are even more ignorant.
Yuanyuan felt embarrassed instead. "That's not necessary. After all, you don't even have a kindergarten diploma. So as your brother, it's my duty to worry about you. Come on, I'll take you to meet Mango."
Chao Chao immediately became happy, "Okay."
The two children walked towards the kitchen hand in hand. Jian Yunsang rubbed his forehead and followed behind.
The three of them walked into the kitchen and saw Aunt Zhao packing up. She was stunned for a moment when she saw them coming over. She smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Do you want to eat something? I'll make it for you."
Yuanyuan shook his head and asked her, "Do we still have fresh mangoes at home?"
"Yes, and more."
As Zhao Ma said this, she took out a package with two medium-sized mangoes in it and said, "Do you want to eat some? I'll cut them up for you."
Before she could finish, Chao Chao's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Yellow poison fruit?"
Not only her, but also the villagers of Shangliu Village under the sky curtain exclaimed, "Am I seeing things, is that the Yellow Poison Fruit?"
"Wouldn't this thing kill people if eaten?"
Even Lin Lan and others were staring at the sky in a daze.
They were now on their way to the capital, the convoy moved slowly forward, and everyone was looking at the sky through the windows or doors of the cars.
"What yellow poisonous fruit?" Yuanyuan was puzzled. Chaochao wanted to explain, but after thinking about it, he closed his mouth, just shook his head and said nothing.
However, when Yuanyuan approached Zhao Ma to watch her cut the mango, Chaochao held Jian Yunsang's hand and explained in a low voice, "Mom, so this is a mango. I've seen it before."
"In Shangliu Village?"
Chao Chao nodded vigorously. "But in Shangliu Village, everyone calls it a poisonous fruit and forbids eating it. Uncle Dashan once took me to identify it and told me to stay away from it, saying that someone in the village had eaten this thing and died without recovery..."
She didn't have enough to eat at that time, and sometimes when she went to the foot of the mountain to collect firewood, she couldn't help but pick up some unwanted fruits on the ground to eat. Those fruits were very sour and not tasty, but at least they could fill her stomach.
Uncle Dashan was afraid that she didn't know anything and might eat something that was not edible, so he took her to see some fruits that were not edible, including mangoes. After all, mangoes are still very sweet, and he was afraid that Chao Chao might eat them by mistake and get into trouble.
Uncle Dashan said that this is called the Yellow Poison Fruit, and no one knows when it grew in the mountains. Someone in the village saw that there were a lot of fruits, and it was okay for birds to eat them, and they smelled good, so he couldn't help but pick two to eat.
He was planning on taking a few of them back with him, but as soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, he began to tremble, feel nauseous and vomit, his breathing became rapid, his chest felt tight and he felt short of breath, and he broke out in cold sweats. Not long after, he passed out.
By the time he was sent to the hospital, it was too late and he could not be saved.
This incident really scared the villagers of Shangliu Village. From then on, everyone called this thing the yellow poisonous fruit and dared not touch it.
Jian Yunsang pondered, it is said that mangoes were introduced to China during the Tang Dynasty. In this case, the dynasty that Chao Chao went to should be after the Tang Dynasty?
However, it is obvious that mango was not popular in that dynasty, and most people probably didn't know about it.
"Mom." Chao Chao whispered, "So, the reason why the person who ate the mango and couldn't be saved wasn't because the mango was poisonous, but because of... an allergy?"
"Most likely."
Chao Chao was puzzled, "But, Gong Xingwen is fine."
Jian Yunsang laughed, "Allergies can be mild or severe. Mild cases are like Gong Xingwen, who had rashes, itchiness, dizziness and discomfort. Severe cases can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and panic. More serious cases can cause breathing difficulties, collapse, and low blood pressure. The most serious cases can result in death from suffocation. The villager your uncle Dashan mentioned must be someone with a severe mango allergy."
The Daqi Dynasty was very quiet at this moment. Many people raised their heads and listened to Jian Yunsang's explanation with expressions of sudden enlightenment on their faces.
Many of them have eaten mangoes before. Shangliu Village is a remote village with isolated information, so it is normal that they don’t know about some new things. But in places like the capital, there are still many dignitaries who have eaten mangoes.
This is not surprising to them, but they have a more intuitive understanding of the term allergy.
Dashan and others also looked as if they understood what was going on. So that's what it was.
So this allergy can be serious or minor. If you are lucky, it will be like the child named Gong Xingwen, who only had a rash and recovered quickly. If you are unlucky, wouldn’t you be like the villager in Shangliu Village, who didn’t even know how he died?
Chao Chao also understood. She exhaled, "Allergies are terrible, Mom."
Jian Yunsang laughed, "Actually, being allergic to mangoes is not a big deal. It's just a fruit. If you know you're allergic to it, just don't eat it. Some people are allergic to eggs, milk, and flour. These are allergies to ingredients that we use in our daily lives, and that's really troublesome. Some people are allergic to pollen, and they can also be allergic to contact with animal fur. You can't just avoid these things. There are even drug allergies."
Chao Chao opened her mouth slightly. Is there such a complicated allergy?
"Does drug allergy mean that you can't take certain drugs?"
"Yes, Chao Chao, do you remember when you were in the hospital before, the doctor prescribed you medicine and asked if you were allergic to the medicine?"
Chaochao doesn’t remember anything. The doctor said a lot of things, and she had to work hard to understand, some of which she couldn’t even understand.
But my mother said the doctor mentioned it, so it must have been mentioned.
At this moment, in the Daqi Dynasty under the sky, someone suddenly shouted, then laughed towards the sky, and tears came out while laughing.
"I see, that's it, it's not that I prescribed the wrong medicine, it's that person is allergic to a certain medicine, hahahahahaha."
