Man Died After Drinking Coconut Water: Drinking coconut water in summer is very beneficial for health. It does not let the body get dehydrated and keeps the electrolytes balanced. But if you drink coconut water in the wrong way, it can even lead to death. This is what happened in Denmark. A boy drank coconut water that had been open for several days and died within an hour after that. It was said that his brain got damaged rapidly due to which he suffocated to death. How did this happen and what was the reason for this? Let's know about it.
What was the reason for death?
According to the report of TOI, this incident is from Denmark. Actually, a person had bought coconut water. He forgot to put it in the fridge. After this, he came from somewhere and gulped it down. Shortly after gulping it down, he started sweating a lot. Then he started vomiting along with nausea. He soon started fainting. He was admitted to the hospital but he could not survive. The MRI report revealed that there was a lot of swelling in his brain due to which brain damage occurred and he died. Doctors said that the reason for this was the active fungus present in the coconut water which rapidly reached the blood and damaged the brain. The man had told his wife that a lot of things had frozen in the coconut water and it was smelling. So he drank only a little water. However, the fungus present in the coconut water played a trick.
How to drink coconut water
Whenever you drink coconut water, drink it fresh. Do not drink old coconut water at all. Especially if the coconut water has opened, do not drink it at all. Experts say that if you are buying packaged coconut water from the market, then immediately keep it in the fridge. If it is kept outside for a long time, then there will be a greater risk of fungus growing in it. On the other hand, if you are drinking open coconut water, first take out the water from the coconut and filter it well, then drink it immediately. Do not wait too long for this. Experts say that coconut water should always be taken out in a glass and filtered before drinking. This reduces the risk of fungus coming into the coconut water. Many times when the fungus of coconut water goes inside, it causes problems related to breathing, in some cases allergies can also arise, but if the fungus is very dangerous and active and somehow enters the blood, then it can go to the brain. Therefore, coconut water should never be drunk without filtering it. Along with this, fresh coconut water should always be drunk.
