How can you get poisoned?
You can get poisoned with this tasty product if you eat it in large quantities or buy unripe fruits. Unripe persimmons taste very unpleasant and can cause stones in the stomach and esophagus. Tannins stick together food particles in the stomach and can contribute to a blockage in the intestines. Often in this condition, a person needs surgery.
If a person has a stomach, then the use of persimmons can cause additional intoxication. Often this requires surgery to avoid other, more dangerous complications.
A child under 10 years old can be poisoned by the fruit, even after eating a small piece. His digestive system may not be ready for such food. The child develops diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, pain in the stomach area. Can older children eat an exotic dish? Of course you can, but in no case should they overeat.
Overripe fruit can also be poisoned. It may have dark spots or areas of decay. Do not think that by cutting off the rotting parts, you can avoid intoxication. Toxins will still enter the body. You can get poisoned even if you do not wash the fruit before eating.
Finally, some manufacturers remove the fruits that are not yet fully ripe and process them with special substances. From this they ripen on the road. But when such food enters the body, a person may experience various symptoms of poisoning and allergic reactions. So eating fruits of dubious origin is dangerous to health.
When shouldn't you eat persimmons?
It is a misconception that persimmons can be eaten like an apple. Doctors advise against eating such a fruit along with the skin. It contains some ingredients that cause stomach upset. You should never eat persimmons on an empty stomach, this can cause severe poisoning.
Symptoms of intoxication occur in people when this fruit is combined with such products:
- seafood, especially;
- meat products;
- dairy products.
That is, if a person has recently eaten protein foods, persimmons cannot be consumed. The tannins contained in it are capable of gluing proteins together, and they cannot be digested. Sticky pieces of food can cause stomach pain and constipation. It must be remembered that the fruit in question is heavy enough for the digestive system, and special care must be taken when consuming it.
Persimmons are prohibited for people who have stomach problems or have recently undergone surgery on it. With the weakening of the activity of this organ, a person may develop gastric or intestinal obstruction. If a person has diabetes or obesity, it is strictly forbidden to eat this exotic fruit.
Persimmons should not be eaten if they are poisoned with another food product. This will only worsen the person's condition. Due to the high content of tannins, the fruit is very dangerous for any disorders of the digestive system.
Persimmon harm for children
Contraindications of this fruit for children are explained by the presence of a large amount of sugars and pectins in it. They are able to alter normal metabolism. The fruit can interfere with the normal functioning of the digestive system. Tannins for children under three years old are completely contraindicated.
If the fruit enters the body in large quantities, then after contact with gastric juice, food lumps form. In children, they will stick together very quickly, which, in turn, leads to a stomach stop.
Children can be harmed by significant amounts of iodine. It causes allergic reactions. So if children have an increased sensitivity to this chemical element, then it is better for them not to give persimmon at all.
It is categorically contraindicated for nursing mothers to consume this fruit. The substances contained in it can penetrate into breast milk and cause poisoning.
Poisoning symptoms
Symptoms of persimmon poisoning can occur within a few hours after eating a spoiled product. The following signs are observed:
- Sharp and severe abdominal pain.
- Darkening and blurred eyes, blurred vision.
- Temperature rise (sometimes quite significant).
- Pain in the head.
- Dizziness.
- General weakness.
- Tremor of the arms or legs.
- Diarrhea.
Severe diarrhea is very dangerous for young children, as it causes severe dehydration.
First aid in case of intoxication
What to do if a person is poisoned by persimmon? He needs to get medical help as soon as possible. Adsorbents help - such as, Atoxil,. If there are no such drugs, then the patient can be given activated charcoal at the rate of one tablet per 10 kilograms of weight. It must be crushed and mixed with water. Drink the resulting suspension. It is imperative to provide the victim with peace of mind.
To exclude dehydration, the patient must be given plenty of fluids to drink. It is best if it is warm. It is forbidden to give the victim tea, and even more so coffee: such drinks will additionally cause dehydration. Hot and alcoholic drinks are categorically contraindicated: they activate the absorption of toxic substances into the blood.
In severe conditions, a person may require qualified medical care. Doctors will hospitalize, and in a hospital setting, antiemetic, antimicrobial, analgesic and restorative drugs will be administered to a person intravenously and by infusion. The required list of drugs for treatment is compiled only by the attending physician. Any amateur performance is strictly prohibited.
Can I eat persimmons after poisoning? In the early days, of course not. Moreover, the poisoned person must adhere to a special diet. Its main principles:
- Any solid and heavy food is excluded.
- On the first day after the poisoning, it is advisable to apply therapeutic fasting: the patient is shown only a plentiful drink.
- In the first few days, it is advisable to drink more compotes.
- Good food would be biscuits, wheat rusks.
- Alcohol is prohibited.
- Do not give the person salty, fried, or smoked food.
In case of poisoning, you can take a mild laxative. It helps to flush out toxins from the intestines. In the initial stage of poisoning, as soon as undesirable symptoms have made themselves felt, gastric lavage can be performed. For this, warm water is used, to which a little soda and salt are added.
You can dissolve several crystals of potassium permanganate in it (the water should be light pink). However, if symptoms of gastric or intestinal obstruction appear, then gastric lavage is strictly prohibited: it can cause severe gastrointestinal diseases, and a person can be saved only with the help of emergency surgical intervention.
It is also necessary to call a doctor if, after washing the stomach and taking a sorbent, the person's condition worsens. Further treatment in this case can only be carried out in a hospital setting.

How to avoid poisoning?
- You should buy persimmons only in trusted retail outlets and avoid shopping in spontaneous markets. Here they are the most dangerous, as they are treated with pesticides, and the products are unlikely to have a hygienic certificate.
- You need to buy ripe and aromatic fruits. Even if they have small black dots, then you need to refuse to buy.
- Before eating persimmons, rinse them well under running water.
- If you experience discomfort while using the product, you cannot eat it. This suggests that an allergic reaction has begun.
- Small children should not be given such a treat. And adults should eat no more than three fruits.
Persimmon is undoubtedly good for humans. However, if it is eaten in large quantities, then symptoms of poisoning may occur. It is especially dangerous to consume unripe and overripe fruits. People with a tendency to allergies, as well as young children, are better off completely abandoning exotic food. If there are signs of poisoning, you should immediately treat it, and in severe cases call an ambulance.
November 22 - DE helps out again: "I would suggest ... an orange persimmon moon in the blurry twilight branches." Perhaps this is almost obvious - let there be a shallow, irregularly shaped bowl with a rough surface of the color of dark metal, with a persimmon branch (take it from a classic engraving - where else can I see it), and in place of the plucked fruit - the moon ...
24 november And inside the bowl - but so that they cannot be seen at the same time - there is a real persimmon, maybe even bitten ... Here's a sketch ... Well, the author doesn't write anything?
29th of November Here is the long-awaited response from Julia: "Vladimir, I really like your sketches. I did not dare to suggest something, because the transformation of a" verbal "image into a bowl is an absolute secret for me. All I could say was how that moon (and that persimmon) looked like prompted me to write a stanza ... The moon in place of the plucked fruit is a great idea. How else could you visibly convey the smell? I just thought, on ripe persimmon, like on the moon, there are usually spots - a thicker, brownish-orange color. .. And the leaves on the branch - should they be green? The stanza is autumnal. "
I completely agree. The leaves should not be green, but greenish-brown, because yellow is eaten by darkness, and spots on leaves and persimmons - inevitable companions of autumn - are not only permissible, they are an important means for creating an image and revealing the author's attitude to it.
24 april How much water has flowed under the bridge - the renga has already ended, but only now I managed to more or less acceptably photograph the bowl finished two months ago. You can say a lot, but you should only trust your eyes, right? So here it is in front of you - heavy, emphatically material and at the same time very conventional, with rusty-green leaves touched by the autumn cold, a really gloomy haze and an optimistic orange moon that does not lose hope to take the place of a plucked persimmon on the branch. And inside - a large, obscenely ripe persimmon, feeling quite worthy to replace the moon in this small eccentric universe.

For a long time I prefer liquid soap to bar, so from time to time I buy various soaps for the kitchen and bath. I stumbled upon this soap accidentally in "Fix Price" , I was attracted by the inscription on the bottle that the soap with the aroma of oriental persimmon and almonds, the combination seemed quite interesting and curiosity overcame me! Oh, it's a pity that you couldn't smell it in the store, otherwise I would definitely not have bought it!
Price - 43 rubles , now 45!
Volume - 470 ml.
From the manufacturer:
Gentle cream soap with oriental persimmon and almond extracts will give your skin amazing sensations and gentle care.
Persimmon extract, containing antioxidants and vitamins, strengthens the skin, keeps it healthy and attractive.
Natural almond extract, rich in vitamins A, B and E, proteins and mineral salts, activates metabolic processes, improves skin tone and elasticity.
Enjoy the gentle protection of nature!
Mode of application:
Apply a small amount of soap to damp skin, rinse off the foam thoroughly with warm water.
Composition:
The packaging is normal! To be honest, I didn't like it at all. Looks cheap, although soap is. I also don’t like the oblong shape, as it doesn’t look very good. The dispenser is not problematic, it dispenses portions as needed, does not stick or "spit", but it is quite slippery, it is not very convenient to use it!
Consistency. It is watery, but in general, it does not differ much from the structure of other soaps. The color is bright orange, it really resembles a persimmon! The soap itself is mild, but not gentle. and very soapy!
Smell! I took this soap solely because I was interested in the scent. Will it really smell like real persimmon? But I was disappointed! It does not smell like persimmon or almonds, and even close! The aroma is generally incomprehensible, but somewhere I have already heard it, in some of the soaps for sure! Very strong, it smells even through the dispenser, intrusive, it seemed to me that it smells of something oriental, but too cheap and chemical. I'm unpleasant. There is also a plus for such a strong aroma, I got used to it to wash socks, panties and other small things, and you know, thanks to the aroma, these things smell good after washing!
Properties. Action. The soap is very soapy! And some kind of slippery! You can wash it off the handles for a long time and tediously, and still some kind of film remains on your hands! For example, after it I wash my hands with another liquid soap! I strongly dislike that. It gently cleanses the skin of the hands, does not dry out, does not cause irritation, allergies and other things, but because of its slipperiness and soapiness, I did not like it in action! Wash your hands after soap? Well, I do not! As I wrote above, I began to wash small things with it, here it suits me, it washes well, completely kills odors!
Is it economical? Rather yes than no! I have been using soap for a little more than a month and I still have half of it left, despite the fact that, in addition to washing pens, I also wash with it!
I will not buy such a soap again, although from the reviews I was interested in the soap of the same brand only with magnolia and silk! He is so much praised! Although this soap has a high rating, I didn’t like it at all, so I’ll think about buying it. I don’t recommend it!
