Day lily, commonly known as "day lily" and scientific name day lily, belongs to Liliaceae and is the bud of a perennial herb. Day lily is delicious, tender and nutritious, such as pollen, sugar, protein, vitamin C, calcium, fat, carotene and amino acids. Its carotene content is even several times higher than that of tomatoes. Day lily is sweet and cool, and has the effects of stopping bleeding, diminishing inflammation, clearing away heat, promoting diuresis, promoting digestion, improving eyesight and calming the nerves. It has therapeutic effect on hematemesis, bloody stool, constipation, insomnia and galactorrhea, and can be used as a tonic after illness or postpartum. Soak in water before eating, and take off the stalks and wash them before cooking. Day lily is often cooked with vegetarian dishes such as black fungus, and can also be made into soup or fried with eggs, chicken and meat, which is rich in nutrition. However, fresh day lily contains a kind of "colchicine" substance, which is non-toxic, but it is very toxic after being absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract and oxidized into "colchicine" in the body. So when eating fresh food, don't eat more every time. Because the toxic components of fresh day lily can be weakened or eliminated at the high temperature of 60C, when eating, fresh day lily should be scalded with boiling water first, then soaked in clear water for more than 2 hours, and then fried after being taken out, which can destroy colchicine and make it safe to eat fresh day lily. When consumers eat dry products, it is best to soak them in clear water or warm water for many times before eating to remove residual harmful substances, such as sulfur dioxide. Poisoning by eating fresh day lily mostly occurs in June and July of the day lily mature season. Colchicine oxide has a strong stimulating effect on gastrointestinal mucosa and respiratory mucosa, causing nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, thirst, abdominal distension and other symptoms. In severe cases, bloody stool, hematuria or anuria may occur. Colchicine in fresh day lily is easily soluble in water, so we can treat it according to its characteristics when eating it. Soak fresh daylily in cold water for more than 2 hours several hours before eating, and it is better to change water once in the middle; Or soak in cold water for 2 hours after scalding with boiling water once to avoid poisoning. It is better to eat no more than 50 grams each time. Because every 50 grams of fresh day lily contains about 0. 1 mg colchicine, it will not cause poisoning. The treatment of poisoning patients is mainly symptomatic treatment, and special attention should be paid to supplementing water and not dehydration. If it can't be taken orally, intravenous fluids should be given in time.
