Spicy Soup Makes A Hole In Man’s Stomach, Experts Say

Dec. 31, 2012 - PRLog -- There are people who just want to eat something in any occasion. You may be one of these dudes. While you like it that way, you need to think about the possible not-so-good results. There’s a 26 year old person in China who instantly became a huge star in a bad way. It’s because the spicy soup he took burned some kind of a hole in his stomach.

The soup that made the damage is a Chinese traditional cuisine called “mala”. In simply translates to “numbing hot” in English. Its name is taken because of the numbing sensation that the ingredients give off like the Sichuan pepper, chili pepper and other local spices. “It really does live up to its name, numb,” says a certain foreigner who tried it.

The unnamed man after taking it in, and take note, this person has no history of gastrointestinal problems, started to feel really sharp pain and almost at the same time vomited blood. Immediately, he was rushed to a certain hospital in Wuhan. Here, the doctors found out that a hole was made in the wall of his stomach.

A local Chinese news source says “some restaurants have begun using less expensive synthetic ingredients that mimic the spice of their natural counterparts.” However, what actually was in the soup wasn’t reported.

“We know this as a cliché but anything that’s too much can be bad at times,” says Bobby V from http://bobbyv.com/. “People really have to look at what they’re putting in to their food.”
