How to deal with worms on Lingzhi

There is a folk saying, "Thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum", saying that it is a magical herb. Nowadays, it seems that it is indeed deified. However, Ganoderma lucidum as a traditional Chinese medicine is indeed magical. To be specific, Ganoderma lucidum spore powder can enhance human immunity and fight tumors. Its efficacy is well known to everyone. It also has an extraordinary anti-aging effect, and is also exceptional in preventing and treating nervous system diseases. What if this good medicine accidentally gets infested with worms?

1. Put the Ganoderma lucidum in the freezer for a day and a night to freeze the eggs to death.

2. Place the Ganoderma lucidum under the sun to keep it dry and disinfected. Tear off the surface that has been eaten by insects and pour out all the black powder.

After being processed in this way, the Ganoderma lucidum will be more refreshing and you can just wash it before eating.

In the future, Ganoderma lucidum can be stored in the refrigerator and it will not become moldy or be eaten by insects.

Mild worm infestation

If the Ganoderma lucidum is only slightly bitten by insects and the number of insects is not large, and the appearance of the Ganoderma lucidum is still relatively intact, this kind of Ganoderma lucidum with slight insects still has certain medicinal value. Generally speaking, it is not a big problem and you can remove the insects and continue to eat it.

Severe worm infestation

If the Ganoderma lucidum is crushed by insect bites, or more than half of the Ganoderma lucidum is bitten by insects, and there are many insects, such Ganoderma lucidum basically has no medicinal value. There is no need to continue eating it, and eating it may cause diarrhea in the human body.

If Ganoderma lucidum is slightly infested with insects, you can expose it to the sun to remove the insects, then remove the insect-eaten parts. You can also use fumigation to smoke out the insects. If there are insect holes or wounds on the surface of Ganoderma lucidum, you can seal them with paraffin or tape to prevent further infestation of insects.

What should I do if I eat worm-infested Ganoderma? If you feel no discomfort after eating worm-infested Ganoderma, you don’t need to worry too much. Just drink more hot water and speed up excretion. If the Ganoderma is severely infested with worms and you eat it, you may experience symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. In this case, go to the hospital for a check-up.
