Chapter 196 Dolphin's Revenge on Humans

After playing in the Maldives for five days, Jiang Hao returned to Binhai, exercising, practicing boxing, and reading every day, living a monotonous and peaceful life. As for the dolphins, he has already done what he should do, so he doesn't pay more attention.

Sometimes Jiang Hao also wondered if he wanted to find something to do, and he couldn't be so idle, but when he thought of the tasks that might appear at any time, it would take a lot of time to prepare for the task, so he gave up again.

If you are idle, let’s be idle. Fortunately, we haven’t reached the point of being idle enough to eat old people. We still have money and are qualified to be idle.

Maybe in the future, I will meet the right thing and start my own business.

Running in the morning, I saw the mature beauty Zhou Xinyan again, "Beauty, good morning, please run."

"I haven't seen you for several days, have you gone out?" Zhou Xinyan asked.

"I went on a trip to Maldives." Jiang Hao said casually.

"Alone?" Zhou Xinyan looked at Jiang Hao in surprise.

"Yeah, alone, what's wrong."

The beauty shook her head, "You are lonely enough to travel to the Maldives alone."

Jiang Hao:

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, a piece of news on the phone caught Jiang Hao's attention.

"Minamata disease broke out in Japan, some experts said to be wary of ultra-mercury seafood!"

Kyoto, Japan,

a restaurant.

"Guest, what do you want?" the waiter asked.

Several friends ordered their favorite food. One of them, Tanaka, ordered a whale meat sashimi. He said to his friends: "The taste of whale meat is still very special."

Everyone drank plum wine and chatted. Tanaka picked up a piece of bright red whale meat, dipped it in soy sauce and put it in his mouth. After chewing lightly, he kept nodding: "Well, this whale meat is very fresh, and the taste is indeed unique."

While a few people were eating, Tanaka suddenly had difficulty breathing, and his body collapsed suddenly. Someone said with a smile, "Tanaka, you don't drink too much, right? The alcohol limit is getting worse and worse."

Just when people were teasing, they suddenly found that Tanaka began to twitch and looked very uncomfortable. Only then did people realize that something might have happened, and everyone panicked.

"Tanaka, Tanaka, are you okay?"

"Don't scare us."

"It can't be food poisoning, call the boss over here."

"Quick, call an ambulance."

The ambulance came and dragged Tanaka to the hospital. The friends and the restaurant owner went there together. The doctors rushed to take rescue measures. The results of the blood test were very surprising. Mercury poisoning, the mercury content in the blood exceeded the normal standard by more than 50 times. .

The doctor told the news to everyone, people were blinded all of a sudden, how could mercury poisoning happen.

And things like this happen in many places in Japan.

Waka County is popular with whale meat dishes. After all, this is the largest producer of whale meat. There are special restaurants, and the locals also have the habit of eating whale meat.

suddenly,

Someone called to say that there might be a food poisoning incident. Many people twitched and vomited at the same time. The hospital rushed to send an ambulance to it. Unexpectedly, there were more than a dozen people. These people are people who ate at the whale meat restaurant today.

After inspection at the hospital, these people were not food poisoning, but more serious mercury poisoning. The family members anxiously asked how the situation was, and the doctor said helplessly: "Mercury poisoning affects the nervous system. Stupid, insane, etc."

In Kobe, three cases of mercury poisoning occurred in a row.

In Osaka, five incidents of mercury poisoning occurred at the same time.

in Nagoya

in Yokosuka

What's more serious is that there was a foreigner poisoning incident in Tokyo. An American tourist who came to Japan for tourism ate dolphin meat out of curiosity, which also caused mercury poisoning and was sent to the hospital for medical treatment. He is still in a coma.

The reporting of these situations aroused great concern from the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, which dispatched medical personnel to investigate. While the investigation team rushed to the site of the incident, more than a dozen mercury poisoning incidents broke out in succession, involving a hundred people. many people.

This situation has naturally attracted great attention from the media. Today, when news and communication are so developed, the whole of Japan will know about this matter in just half a day, and the whole world will know about it within a day.

Some people also called out the alarming name "Minamata disease".

The media explained in detail what is Minamata disease.

Minamata disease refers to a comprehensive disease caused by human or other animals eating fish and shellfish contaminated with organic mercury, which causes organic mercury to invade brain nerve cells. It is one of the most typical pollution diseases in the world. "Minamata disease" first occurred in Minamata Town, Kumamoto Prefecture, Kyushu, Japan in 1953. At that time, the cause was unknown, so it was called Minamata disease.

Minamata disease patients suffer from hand-foot coordination disorders, walking difficulties, motor disorders, mental retardation, hearing and speech disorders, numbness of limbs, sensory disorders, and reduced visual fields. In severe cases, delirium, schizophrenia, convulsions, and even death.

In short, this is a terrible disease, and severely ill patients generally do not live for three months.

For a time, it caused a panic in Japanese society.

The Japanese government did not dare to neglect, and it took half a day to finally find out the reason. That night, the Ministry of Health and Welfare held a press conference to announce the results.

"According to the survey results, the mercury poisoning people were all because of the consumption of dolphin meat. We extracted dolphin meat specimens from those restaurants and tested it. We found that the mercury content in dolphin meat is 2,000% of the mercury content in ordinary animal meat. times."

"This result is shocking. According to our understanding, these dolphin meat came from the Taiji fishing grounds, and they were the same group of dolphins that were caught. As for why this happened, we have no conclusion yet."

"Here, we remind the general public and all tourists to Japan to avoid eating dolphin meat and whale meat. After a specific investigation, we will give the results of the investigation, whether it is man-made or other reasons."

As soon as the news came out, Japanese society was in an uproar, and a well-known Japanese biologist published a blog post saying: "2000 times, this is an astounding number, it can be said that those dolphins have become organic mercury making machines. Eating more than 50 grams of dolphin meat, a piece of whale meat, can lead to acute mercury poisoning, which can be described as poisonous."

"There have been reports before that the dolphin meat contains excessive organic mercury, but the government ignored it. Now there is an outbreak of poisoning, and the government has a major responsibility."

Japanese netizens are even more lively:

"I was next to the mercury poisoning incident in Tokyo. When I ordered food, I was hesitant to try whale meat. Later, I didn't order it. The table next to me ordered whale meat. Later, both of them fell to the ground and convulsed. I was terrified, and I still feel scared when I think about it now.”

"I have eaten it twice out of curiosity before, and the taste is very ordinary. I didn't expect it to be life-threatening. It is comparable to the puffer fish that has not been detoxified. I will never eat whale meat again."

"I am very worried now that the lunches given to children in many places in the eastern region include whale meat and dolphin meat. Will our children be in trouble."

"Some people called for not catching dolphins a long time ago, but they didn't listen. Now dolphins have such high levels of organic mercury in their bodies. I suspect that this is caused by a genetic mutation of dolphins. This is dolphins' revenge on humans."
