The disease is related to the ingestion of certain foods. The patients had eaten the same kind of "toxic food" in the same period of time in the near future, and the range of the disease was consistent with the food distribution. The patients who did not eat the same kind of food did not get sick, and there were no new cases soon after they stopped eating the same kind of food;

matters needing attention

1. Carambola is slightly cold in nature, so excessive consumption can easily lead to cold dampness in the spleen and stomach, which hinders appetite, digestion and absorption. Therefore, no matter eating fruit or drinking juice, it's better not to eat cold and iced food. 2. Carambola contains a kind of neurotoxin, which can be metabolized by ordinary people, but patients with kidney disease can not excrete this toxin, leading to poisoning.
