臭米面(发酵玉米面)是东北地区人民喜食乐用的食品。其制备方法就是将碎玉米放在缸里,加水浸泡两周左右(根据气温高低而异),然后磨细、除水、晾干而成。用此面可以做面条和饺子等加工食品。由于含水量大,保管稍有不当易于长霉,常常引起中毒,病死率极高。根据哈尔滨市医学会的资料~([1])于1953～1960年所发生的病人,其病死率可高达44.5～100%。特别是在1961年10月于哈尔滨市某单位集体食堂职工,因吃臭米面面条而引起了97人中毒,死亡41人,病死率达42.2%,造成了严重事件。辽宁省~([2])、黑龙江省~([3])、吉林省~([4])市~([5])卫生防疫站等单位对臭米面中毒各方面做了大量工作,并有专著论述,对本病的流行病学、临床症状、治疗及病因等都进行了探讨,积累了许多宝贵资料。本篇就一起臭米面中毒的病因进行了初步探索,现将其结果报告如下: 一、中毒经过:1972年磐石县取柴河公社小取大队猪场生产队社员张×明,从生产队领来玉米100斤,当时发现胚芽部有些霉变呈绿色,放在屋内墙角高于地面约二尺余的板上。8月9日加工去皮后,取其中30斤左右放在缸中加水浸泡,安放在锅台后面 Stinky rice noodles (fermented cornmeal) is the northeastern region people eat food with pleasure.
