CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- The “sausage mouth” of Tony Leung in The Eagle Shooting Heroes has impressed a lot of people. The other day, Cui Jie (assumed name), who resides at Jiangbei District, came to Xinqiao Hospital with his “sausage mouth”. After medical examination, the doctor said that his eating three loquats led to this “tragedy”.

According to the doctor, the villi on loquats are likely to be the chief “culprit”. However, Cui said that he ate loquats every year, but this was the first time he got an allergic reaction.

Loquats can also be allergen

Loquats may lead to specific allergy

According to Professor Zhou Renjie, the Director of the Emergency Department of Xinqiao Hospital, some people have an allergic constitution. There are many allergens among us. Some people may be allergic to vegetable proteins in loquats and villi on their pericarp.

Experts pointed out that this is a kind of specific allergies, most of which are observed in people with an allergic constitution.

As for the condition that Mr. Cui had not had a reaction after eating loquats in the past, Professor Zhou Renjie stated that it mainly relates to his immune state and constitution.

According to Professor Zhou, just like kiwi fruit, the villi on pericarp are the major allergen of loquat. To avoid allergy, it is recommended to clean up the villi and peel off the pericarp before eating loquats, and the pulp should also be washed carefully if necessary. If you find you are getting an allergic response to loquats, you should stop eating immediately, rinse your mouth and throat with water to avoid dyspnea, seek medical advice treatment for symptoms that may include itching red dots on skin.
