Chapter 1021: Tell me what you found
Chapter 1021 Tell me what you found
Lu Yichen informed his father Lu Xinyi and elder brother Lu Yixuan to go back home together and discuss the next way to deal with it.
After the expert team arrived at the place, they all put on masks and rubber gloves as a precaution before entering the village where the disease occurred.
Everyone took samples from all over the place and urgently sent them to the nearest laboratory for testing. The experts were divided into two groups and went to the patient's home to understand and examine the condition.
Most of the patients had dry throat, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and some severe cases had blistering from the beginning, then ruptured and purulent. In the most serious patients, the purulent place had begun to fester. After discussion by the expert group, it was ruled out. The possibility of infectious diseases, which makes everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
The expert group was gathering to discuss the cause. Someone in the middle came to bring boiled water. Because of her sensitive sense of smell, Luo Qiao smelled a slight medicinal odor in the water, and she felt that there was something wrong with the water.
hurriedly shouted: "Everyone don't drink it first, there is something wrong with this water."
Everyone was startled and quickly put down the water in their hands.
Professor Guo, who knew Luo Qiao well, asked, "Luo Qiao, tell me, what did you find?"
Luo Qiao looked up at Professor Guo: "The local staff said that the water source has been tested and there is no problem, but I am sure that there is a problem with the water, and there is a faint medicinal smell in it."
Professor Guo quickly asked the comrade next to him who was in charge of delivering the water: "Which well did this water come from?"
Everyone got up and followed to the well where the water was drawn, took some water from the well, and then took a portion of the boiled water just now, and arranged for someone to quickly send it for testing.
Luo Qiao asked people to bring an extra copy of the well water that was just taken up, and told the person who sent the test to let the laboratory boil one well water before testing it.
Professor Guo looked at Luo Qiao: "Do you think there is no problem with the water itself, but there is a problem with drinking it after boiling it?"
Luo Qiao shook her head and nodded again: "I think it's possible that the illness in the village originated from this well. The boiled water has a faint smell of realgar, but I don't know if it's the real cause."
Professor Guo asked people to fetch water from other wells in the village, label them separately, and sent them to the laboratory, where the results were given overnight.
As Luo Qiao guessed, there is indeed a problem with the water in this well. According to such statistics, most of the sick people in the village are drinking water from this well. The water sent for testing is the water from the river. There is no water from a well on the side.
After investigation, I found out that a few large snakes were found here some time ago. The villagers used a lot of realgar for fear of scaring the children. They also lit a fire by the well to smoke the snakes in the cracks of the stones. .
Realgar is also poisonous. It can be oxidized to the highly toxic component arsenic trioxide, namely arsenic, after being heated. After poisoning, it can cause dry mouth and throat, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and death due to heart failure and respiratory failure in severe cases. Contact can also cause skin irritation, pimples, herpes.
The problem is found, and the next step is to treat it, but this does not require the expert team to stay here all the time. The doctors from the local hospital have come to take over. Because the cause has been found and the infectious disease has been ruled out, the surrounding people are not as panicked as before.
After handing over everything in the afternoon of the next day, they were ready to evacuate. When they came over, they used military planes because of the emergency, but there was no special plane to go back.
It was arranged to take the car to the city first, and then transfer the train back to Beijing. Luo Qiao got into the car with some things. Professor Guo and several professors who knew Luo Qiao began to tease Luo Qiao: "How many things have you prepared? Going to fight a protracted war."
Luo Qiao cheated with her handbag and brought out a lot of dried fruit and snacks for everyone: "It's not that the family is worried. I packed a lot of food, but it didn't come in handy. If you don't mind, let's try it together."
Everyone laughed: "No dislike, no dislike."
Luo Qiao distributed some to everyone one by one.
Professor Guo said after eating the dried fruit: "It tastes really good, not to mention you young people, I like it too."
Someone echoed: "It's delicious, it's really delicious. I was afraid of motion sickness just now. After eating this, my heart will be much more comfortable."
The road here is really unfriendly. The bumpy people are like riding horses on the grassland. Just as everyone was talking about this incident, the car stopped.
