Chapter 359

. ——【Damn, is this going to solve the case? Mercury poisoning, what is mercury, is there anyone with a big dick to popularize it? And so many animals had mercury poisoning at the same time, it's too bizarre. Could it be that someone poisoned them maliciously?】

——【Mercury is quicksilver. Mercury poisoning is no joke. Up to now, there is no way to completely cure mercury poisoning. Only early stages can be treated. If the poison is too deep for a long time, there is no cure.】

——【This is too bizarre, "Approaching Science" has material to shoot again. Seriously, I really want to know the reason now. All the cats and dogs in the village had problems, and they were all mercury poisoning, it's too coincidental.】

——【I guess someone poisoned them, giving small animals some food they like. After all, mercury is not common, only humans have it. It seems that this village is not harmonious, there must be someone doing bad things behind the scenes.】

All the villagers were stunned, their faces full of shock.

Even if they were beaten to death, they wouldn't think that their animals committed suicide!

Before this, they once thought they were possessed by something evil.

That period of time made the village panic, but later they found that this evil spirit was only on small animals.

Gradually, everyone thought it was safe and started raising cats and dogs again.

However, it didn't take long before it was the same cause of death.

Since then, their village never dared to raise animals again.

Some people even spread that there was a Huang Daxian living on the mountain who wanted to eat these small animals, so this eerie thing would happen.

But today, someone told them it was caused by industrial poisoning!

You have to know that they are almost isolated from the world here, and even modern machines are rare, let alone chemical things....

214. Eating Fish Can Also Cause Poisoning, The Whole Village Suffers!

The Village Chief asked blankly: "What does mercury poisoning mean? Did someone poison them?"

Fang Yang shook his head: "Whether it was human poisoning, it's hard to draw a conclusion now. You haven't heard of mercury, but you must have heard of quicksilver!"

As soon as the words fell, Da Niu immediately grabbed the answer: "I know, quicksilver is poisonous, but the problem is why would cats and dogs eat quicksilver? Is this thing delicious?"

"It must not be delicious. Although I haven't eaten it, think about it, if you were the person who poisoned them, trying to find a way to make all the cats and dogs in the village eat quicksilver, what would you do?"

After listening to Fang Yang's words, everyone discussed and explored the possibilities.

"Put quicksilver in whatever they love to eat."

"Cats eat fish, dogs eat bones. Before, our village seemed to have been feeding them like this!"

"Our village relies on fishing for a living, so we must feed them fish. Could it be that someone poisoned the fish?"

Once this proposal was made, everyone agreed.

Only Fang Yang shook his head and spoke slowly: "This possibility may not hold. Don't forget that the sense of smell of cats and dogs is very sensitive. If quicksilver was just added to the fish, they would probably not eat it, at least not all of them would be poisoned to death."

"In other words, they must have eaten something containing quicksilver without knowing it. It could be fish, or it could be something else."

Now the villagers were dumbfounded again, completely unable to think of the reason.

If they were asked to poison these animals silently, they didn't think they could do it.

Now the problem became complicated again, and there was no breakthrough at all.

However, just at this moment, a villager suddenly covered his head and screamed in pain.

Following that, he fell straight down. If it weren't for someone next to him supporting him, he could have fallen directly.

Many villagers went to care.

"Da Zhu, is your dizziness problem acting up again?"

Da Zhu gasped for breath and responded weakly: "I'm fine, just felt a palpitation suddenly, my brain lost consciousness, now it's much better."

"Sigh... my wife has had this problem recently too. Went to the hospital for an examination, said there was nothing wrong."

"Me too, checked several times, all said everything was normal."

"I seem to have some symptoms recently too, won't it be the same as you?"

,,,

Fang Yang frowned while listening to the villagers' chat: "Old Village Chief, do many people in your village have this symptom of dizziness?"

The Village Chief nodded: "At first Da Zhu had it, it wasn't serious, didn't take it seriously. Later it gradually became serious. Went to the hospital for an examination, couldn't find anything. Changed several hospitals, all didn't know the illness. People in our small mountain village are not very rich, and after tossing a few times, we really can't toss anymore."

"Now I don't know what's going on, more and more people in the village are dizzy, even I am dizzy from time to time. Several generations of our village have fished for a living here, relying on the mountain to eat the mountain and the lake to eat fish, and such a strange thing has never happened."

"Wait!" Fang Yang's expression was solemn, as if he had grasped something.

Looking at everyone with confusion.

Fang Yang ignored them, his eyes empty, looking forward and thinking constantly.

"Hiss,,, rely on the lake to eat fish, people eat fish, cats eat fish, dogs eat fish bones,,, symptoms of mercury poisoning!!"

"I understand!!!" Fang Yang exclaimed.

The Village Chief asked eagerly: "Figured out the reason?"

"Not very sure yet! Village Chief, let me confirm with you first, does your village eat a lot of fish, especially those who are dizzy, they love fish the most."

Wow~~~

Once these words were spoken, the villagers were shocked.

"My god, young man, are you a fortune teller? How do you know we love fish, especially Da Zhu who has eaten fish for decades, he is not tired of it."

"My wife married from out of town, loved fish since she was a child, there are many fish here, eat it openly."

Da Niu asked excitedly: "And then, how do you know they love fish?"

Fang Yang replied lightly: "Because I suspect they and those small animals are mercury poisoning, and it's mercury poisoning from eating fish."

【Popularity】 +1+1+1+1.

——【Holy crap, it's really shocking. Poisoned by eating fish? Never heard of it. I've loved fish since I was a child. Is it possible that I'm going to be poisoned too? It makes me a bit scared. But I don't seem to have their symptoms. No, I'll go to the hospital to check if I'm poisoned later.】

——【Although it's hard to believe, this is what Fang Yang said, believe it or not. They have lived here for generations and nothing happened, but now they are poisoned by eating fish. I always feel this explanation is unreasonable, too far-fetched. Wait patiently for Fang Yang's analysis.】

——【Is it possible that they ate a kind of poisonous fish, which looks very similar to ordinary fish, but they didn't recognize it, so they would have this symptom? Did you find that not everyone is poisoned, it seems that only those who eat a lot of fish will be poisoned.】

——【Why do I feel that Fang Yang is not here to dig the road in this village, but more like here to save them? First, he dug away the hornet's nest, and now he helped them find the cause of poisoning. I even suspect that if Fang Yang didn't come, this village would be poisoned sooner or later, and it would be miserable then.】

The villagers were completely shocked.

All unbelievable, ate fish for generations.

But now they are told that eating fish will cause poisoning, which makes them unacceptable and even less believable.

Even Da Niu found it hard to believe, after all, he grew up living here.

Ate a lot of fish in the lake, but he was jumping around, perfectly fine. Although he rarely returned to the village after growing up, the fish he ate was enough for an ordinary person's lifetime.

"Fang Yang, this... this joke can't be made casually. We have lived here for generations and nothing happened. You said eating fish will cause poisoning, it's really hard to convince everyone."

Fang Yang smiled and said lightly: "You are right, the fish itself is not poisonous, at least it was like this before, but now, it's hard to say!"

"What do you mean, someone poisoned the fish? No, aren't the fish all dead!"

"It's indeed impossible to poison the fish, but I can be sure that this poison is a chronic poison. Think back carefully, is it the cat that got sick first, then the dog, and after the animals died, people started to get dizzy?"

"Yes, yes, yes, that's it, you can even guess this?"

Fang Yang shook his head: "It's not guessed. The cat's body is the smallest, easiest to get sick, and eats the most fish, followed by the dog, and finally people. I told you about the symptoms of mercury poisoning in animals before, and in humans, mercury poisoning is divided into chronic and acute."

"Acute mercury poisoning, digestive system, nervous system, respiratory system, urinary system, and skin appear rapid symptoms. And chronic mercury poisoning is manifested in mild cases as dizziness, headache, forgetfulness, dreaming, palpitations, etc. When the disease develops to a certain extent, it even appears limb tremor accompanied by intellectual decline and other symptoms."

"Now compare whether you have the symptoms of chronic mercury poisoning!"

Da Zhu nodded quickly: "It's indeed very similar, am I really poisoned? But this can't be mercury poisoning from eating fish."

Fang Yang shook his head: "Currently all poisoning has a feature, that is eating fish. After mercury is absorbed, it will accumulate in the bones, especially in the joints."

"I now suspect that the water quality of your lake has a problem, so the fish absorbed mercury without knowing it, and then it was eaten into your stomach, causing chain poisoning."

However, just after this sentence was finished, someone immediately found out: "Impossible, more than ten years ago, we did a water quality check here, it was very good."

The Village Chief also nodded: "Yes, we have many unique fish species here, but maybe it's because of too much fishing in recent years, so they are rare."

Fang Yang smiled confidently: "You just said more than ten years ago, do you know what it's like now? If you are not afraid of death, continue to eat fish. If you believe me, immediately call someone to test the water quality. Anyway, it's not me eating fish."

The Village Chief hurried over to apologize: "Young man, it's not that I don't believe you, it's that we are all old and our thinking is stubborn. I think what you said makes a lot of sense. I will call the testing station and ask them to help test the water quality."

Da Niu also quickly echoed: "Sorry, I apologize to you on their behalf. This matter has nothing to do with you, but you are willing to help. So tonight I will make another big meal for you, don't mind us."

Fang Yang couldn't help but laugh. He didn't take it seriously himself. If they didn't believe it, forget it. Anyway, he wasn't the one poisoned.

Now seeing the Village Chief and others so polite, he could only respond politely.

After more than half an hour, people from the testing station came.

When they saw Fang Yang for the first time, they were all excited.

"Holy crap, it's Fang Yang!"

"Good luck today, take a photo as a souvenir!"
