Chapter 308 Strange Lychee Disease

When Qin Jiang heard the word litchi, he immediately thought of something.

"You said you were eating lychees together just now?"

The woman nodded.

"Yes, the lychees I just bought are all fresh."

"Did you eat a lot? How much did you eat in total?"

When the woman heard Qin Jiang ask this, she didn't react at first.

"We didn't even count them. Who would count lychees? We probably ate more than 20 each."

Qin Jiang immediately understood and took out a candy from the drawer and asked the middle-aged woman to hold it in her mouth.

After doing all this, Qin Jiang pointed to the card reader on the table and said, "Okay, she's fine for now, so you guys scan the code and register first."

The woman was a little confused.

Is it okay to just give him a candy?
What kind of doctor is this!
However, the woman still took out her ID card and registered honestly.

Just as Qin Jiang had guessed before, the relationship between these two women is mother and daughter.

The middle-aged woman is called Zheng Hong and the young woman is called Zhou Wen.

The relationship between the mother and daughter has always been very good. They eat, drink, and have fun together on weekdays, and get along like best friends.

This time, lychees were on the market, which happened to be the season for eating lychees, so Zhou Wen bought a big bag of lychees and took them back, preparing to let Zheng Hong taste them.

Who knew that something bad would happen after eating it.

After scanning the ID card, Zhou Wen couldn't help but ask, "Doctor Qin, are you sure my mother is okay? Can a piece of candy solve the problem?"

Qin Jiang nodded.

"It's just low blood sugar. Of course a piece of candy will solve it."

"Wait a little longer, she should be feeling better soon."

Not long after Qin Jiang finished speaking, Zheng Hong's face became flushed with color and his breathing became even.

At this time, she finally recovered.

But she looked quite weak, as if she had been fished out of the water.

Qin Jiang poured her a cup of Shengmai Drink and handed it to her. Zheng Hong didn't even have the energy to say thank you. She just held the cup and drank it in small sips.

Zhou Wen found it unbelievable to see that Zheng Hong had actually gotten better.

"Is it really hypoglycemia? That shouldn't be the case. My mother has never had hypoglycemia. And we were eating lychees just now. How could she have hypoglycemia?"

Qin Jiang glanced at Zhou Wen and said, "It's because you were eating lychees just now that you have low blood sugar."

“Do you know about the lychee disease?”

When Zhou Wen heard this, she shook her head.

It was the first time she had heard of this disease.

Lychee disease?
Could it be that lychees themselves are sick?

Qin Jiang patiently explained: "In this season, the most popular fruits should be lychees and durian, right?"

"The so-called litchi disease does not mean that the litchi itself is diseased, but it is bad."

"It means that if you eat a large amount of lychees, it is easy to cause acute hypoglycemia and the symptoms just mentioned."

The sugar content of litchi is 16.6%, most of which is fructose.

According to the biology knowledge learned in high school, it is easy to know that fructose needs to be metabolized by the liver to produce glucose.

At this time, the human body will secrete a large amount of insulin, causing acute hypoglycemia.

This disease is very counterintuitive. After all, lychees are so sweet, but eating a lot of such sweet things in a short period of time will lead to hypoglycemia. This is why Zhou Wen first thought of sending Zheng Hong to the clinic instead of just making some candy for Zhou Wen at home.

Because Zhou Wen never suspected that from the beginning.

Who would have thought that eating lychees could cause hypoglycemia?

"So, my mom really had hypoglycemia because of eating lychees?"

Zhou Wen actually felt a little dizzy before, but she was young and in good health, so she didn't have such a big reaction like Zheng Hong.

At that time, she thought she didn't get enough rest last night.

Only now do I realize that I almost suffered from acute hypoglycemia due to overeating.

"Then Doctor Qin, for those of us who like to eat lychees, how many should we eat each time?"

Qin Jiang thought for a moment and said, "From a doctor's perspective, I suggest you take twenty pills each time."

When Qin Jiang said this, Zhou Wen's eyes widened, and netizens in the live broadcast room started discussing it.

"Ah? Twenty? No, we usually eat about two kilograms of lychees each time. Twenty is not enough for everyone."

"Doctor Qin, this is just medical advice. People have different physiques. Just eat what you want. It's like doctors recommending that people should not consume more than a certain amount of salt per day, but you exceeded the limit by having a hotpot meal."

"That's not right, brothers. I suddenly remembered an old friend. Did that ancient person eat 300 lychees a day? Then why didn't she suffer from hypoglycemia?"

"Su Shi gave you a thumbs up and told you that lychees are really delicious, which doesn't affect it at all."

"Are you kidding me? Can the physique of the ancients be compared with that of us today? The ancients could kill a tiger with their bare hands. Can you?"

"Bare-handed? I'll just slide and tackle..."

After hearing Qin Jiang's recommended amount of lychees to eat, netizens all laughed and asked Qin Jiang to stop making suggestions.

In fact, Qin Jiang’s suggestion is not wrong. After all, Qin Jiang gave scientific advice. Science takes the average value and takes all age groups into consideration.

It’s like Zheng Hong and Zhou Wen both ate lychees at the same time, why did Zheng Hong develop hypoglycemia while Zhou Wen was fine?

All we can say is that people's physiques are different and we can't generalize.

But you can’t tell others that it’s okay to eat two or three kilograms just because some people have special physiques, right?

Zheng Hong had recovered by now, and she finally had the strength to speak.

"Thank you, Dr. Qin. I really felt like I couldn't make it any longer. It was so painful."

Zheng Hong is not exaggerating.

Acute hypoglycemia is indeed a very dangerous condition. Some people may even fall into a coma and their lives may be in danger if the condition is serious.

Qin Jiang waved his hand to indicate that everything was fine.

"Put your hand up here, I'll take your pulse. Since you're here, I'll check if you have any other problems."

Zheng Hong also felt that what Qin Jiang said made sense and placed her hand on the pulse pillow.

Netizens in the live broadcast room laughed like crazy.

What do you mean everyone is here?

Can seeing a doctor be so casual?

"This is probably the unique sense of relaxation of the people of Jincheng. Since we are here, we might as well see a doctor."

"If they weren't in an emergency, they wouldn't be able to see Doctor Qin even if they had to wait in line. Now that they've finally gotten in, they must see a doctor, otherwise it would be a shame."

"Indeed, if I can see Doctor Qin, I will ask him to help me. Brothers, I will stop talking. I will continue to wait in line."

Qin Jiang was just casually taking Zheng Hong's pulse, but after taking it, he found that Zheng Hong's pulse was not right.

Zheng Hong noticed that Qin Jiang's face looked strange, so she asked, "Doctor Qin, is there something wrong with me?"
