The time, population, region, place, pathogenic factors and inducing links of the events were statistically analyzed.ResultsFrom 2017 to 2021, a total of 68 incidents were reported, including 526 cases and 5 deaths. The total incidence rate was 23.40% and the case fatality rate was 0.95%. The peak period was from May to July, with the largest number of reported events in July. The reporting areas were mainly Mengla Town (35.29%), Guanlei Town (11.76%) and Mengpeng Town (10.29%). The main place of the incident was family (76.47%). The main pathogenic factors were plant toxins (79.41%), mainly through the ingestion of wild mushrooms (68.52%), improper processing of green beans (12.96%) and aconitum (9.26%).ConclusionAccording to the epidemiological characteristics of Mengla County, we should focus on the public education of health knowledge in key areas and places, especially on the identification of wild mushrooms, to prevent accidental eating.
