Recently, with a large amount of cherries arriving by sea transportation, the price of cherries in mainland China has continued to drop. In some regions, the price of cherries has fallen to around 15 yuan per jin (Chinese currency, same below). This topic has also appeared in hot searches multiple times. The latest hot search news is that a woman developed severe symptoms after consuming 5 jin of cherries in a row and had to seek medical treatment.
According to mainland media reports, as the price of cherries is affordable, a rather funny incident occurred in Guangdong – a woman, due to her extreme love for cherries, ate 5 jin of cherries in one go. Afterwards, she began to feel unwell.
At first, she only felt a slight sore throat, and didn’t pay much attention, thinking it was just a common cold. But soon the symptoms worsened. Along with a sore throat, her body temperature began to rise, and she developed a fever. What’s worse, due to taking medication, she experienced allergic reactions, and her face completely changed its appearance.
Regretting deeply, she said, “I just couldn’t resist the urge to eat cherries at that time. I didn’t expect it to turn out like this. Everyone, don’t follow my lead.” Now, she can only wear sunglasses when eating, looking very embarrassed.
After this incident spread online, it sparked discussions among many netizens. Some netizens pointed out, “Eating too many cherries at once can lead to iron poisoning, with symptoms ranging from mild gastrointestinal issues to diarrhea.”
Many netizens expressed that while fruits are good, one should not overindulge, especially in high-sugar fruits like cherries. It’s recommended to eat just a few cherries a day as excessive consumption can easily lead to inflammation and digestive discomfort.
