Fish gall poisoning, due to the lack of specific drugs, the death rate was once as high as about 20%, second only to puffer fish killers.
Over the years, the level of hospital treatment for fish bile poisoning has also greatly improved, especially the application of dialysis technology, and now the mortality rate has been greatly reduced.
However, people still do not pay enough attention to [fish gall poisoning]. In particular, these fish are the most common ones we eat.
Which fish gall is poisonous? Be careful of [carp] family
Some scholars have used different fish bile to do experiments and found that:
Not all fish gall is poisonous.
Gallbladder like mullet and catfish is not poisonous. More than ten kinds of poisonous fish gallbladder are known, all of which come from [Cyprinidae]. Therefore, it is very dangerous to eat the gallbladder of any Cyprinidae fish.
Which fish are Cyprinidae? Is it just carp? Is it true that those who can’t learn biology well dare not eat fish? Don’t panic, don’t panic.
In short, we should be especially careful with the four big fishes [green, grass, silver carp and bighead carp], as well as crucian carp, blunt head bream (Wuchang fish) and ilishaeformis ilishaeformis.
They are terrible because the gall of fish is poisonous and very common. If you rank it according to toxicity, the most poisonous is crucian carp, followed by blunt head bream, herring, silver carp, bighead carp, ilishaeformis ilishaeformis, carp and grass carp.
But! Grass carp is big, bile-rich and easy to buy.
80% of the patients with fish bile poisoning were laid down by grass carp.
How terrible is fish gall poisoning?
For adults, only a few grams of bile can cause poisoning.
If it is a big fish weighing 4 to 5 kg, one fish gall is enough. Of course, the toxicity of different fish gall is not the same, and people also have individual differences.
After fish gallbladder poisoning, the disease will generally occur soon. Should hurry to induce vomiting, gastric lavage, and as soon as possible to the hospital for regular treatment.
However, the initial symptoms of poisoning are nausea, vomiting, stomachache and diarrhea similar to eating a bad stomach. As a result, many people have been poisoned, but they are not serious. Then it is terrible.
Liver and kidney damage will occur, and then acute liver necrosis, renal failure, cerebral edema, myocardial injury and other serious symptoms will gradually occur, eventually leading to death.
Although some patients escaped a bullet and were saved, they could only regret for life due to paralysis and incontinence caused by nerve damage.
Another kind of poisoning is fish bile splashing into eyes.
If fish bile drips into the eyes, causing conjunctivitis and vision loss, this is all good. Once someone accidentally broke the bitter gall when cutting fish, and bile splashed into the eyes.
Guide! To! Lost! Ming!
I really don’t know what the [carp gallbladder points eyes to treat red swelling and nebula pain] in Compendium of Materia Medica is thinking.
Is fish gall still poisonous after heating or soaking in alcohol?
People once suspected that there was some cyanide or biological toxin in fish bile. Until the Japanese first identified a toxic compound called carprin sulfate from fish bile.
Studies have proved that [cyprinol sulfate] is the real culprit in fish bile poisoning cases. Moreover, it is very severe, not afraid of high temperature heating, not afraid of alcohol, and difficult to destroy.
Fish gall, whether eaten raw, cooked or soaked in wine, will still lead to poisoning.
What’s more, eating fish gall raw still has the risk of parasitic infection, even soaking in wine cannot guarantee nothing. Never try.

If you can’t clean up the fish you kill normally, will you be poisoned by eating fish gall by mistake? No, the average person will instinctively vomit bile because it is too bitter to bear.
Chinese traditional medical classics do record the effects of various fish gall, such as clearing away heat, detoxifying, improving eyesight, and even strengthening yang. Therefore, many people believe in [swallowing fish gall to cure diseases].
Not only that, various ancient books and records also clearly record [fish gallbladder is non-toxic], and then some local medicine records and folk prescriptions copy this information back and forth.
[Fish gallbladder is non-toxic] has been misinformed into common sense. People lack vigilance against this. Only when fish gallbladder is swallowed and poisoned or even killed do things happen frequently.
Animal experiments show that those poisonous fish gall have slight antitussive, expectorant and antihypertensive effects, and the effect is not obvious. Fish gall without poison may not have any effect at all. Let’s draw the key point again:
Poisonous fish gall is poisonous, but non-poisonous fish gall is useless.
[Drinking poison to quench thirst] is probably the most appropriate comment. Zhenniao means poison. Treating diseases with poisonous fish gall is like quenching thirst with poison. It has no effect and people are already poisoned.
It is more reliable to find a professional doctor to cure diseases. There is no what that can cure diseases well.
