I believe many people have heard of favism, a disease that mainly occurs in children. It can be seen that children are not suitable for eating broad beans. Experts clearly tell everyone that it is best for children not to eat broad beans before the age of eight. Parents must remember this. 1. Can babies eat broad beans? Generally speaking, older babies can eat broad beans, but they should not be eaten raw, and those who are allergic to broad beans should not eat them. It must be cooked soft and preferably mashed into a paste. Children who suffer from "favism" (fava beans contain allergens. A very small number of people with allergies lack 6-phosphate glucose dehydrogenase in their bodies, and will experience varying degrees of allergies, acute hemolysis and other poisoning symptoms after eating broad beans, commonly known as "favism") should never eat broad beans. 2.

According to doctors, favism is more common in children around 8 years old. About 200 million people worldwide suffer from favism. The incidence in my country is higher in the south and lower in the north, mainly distributed in Hainan, Guangdong, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other provinces south of the Yangtze River. If a child develops yellow skin, darker urine, and poor spirits after eating broad beans, these are signs of "favism" and the child should be taken to the hospital for treatment immediately. If there is a history of favism in the family, the child should not only avoid eating broad beans, but also avoid contact with broad bean pollen, camphor balls, gentian violet (gentian violet), and sulfonamide drugs. Because these things contain oxidants. 3.
