Research from Institute of Public Health Provides New Study Findings on Mushroom Poisoning (Study on the correlation between the number of mushroom poisoning cases and meteorological factors based on the generalized additive model in Guizhou...).

A recent study conducted by the Institute of Public Health in Guizhou Province, China, examined the correlation between mushroom poisoning cases and meteorological factors. The study found that mushroom poisoning is a significant food safety issue in the region, with cases primarily occurring among individuals aged 20-59. Gastrointestinal symptoms were the most common, and incidents peaked from June to October in the northeastern region of the province. The study also revealed a positive correlation between meteorological factors and the number of mushroom poisoning cases, suggesting that these factors could serve as early warning indicators for prevention and control.
