Summer is coming soon, and the wild vegetables in the field are beginning to be eaten one after another. Many people will pick them back and taste them for the first time, but some plants contain toxins, so don't touch them easily.
The older generation in rural areas may know each other, but it is not so easy for young people to distinguish. Therefore, it is necessary to know them again, so as not to be poisoned by eating!
1, cress
It looks like celery, but it can't be eaten. It is toxic all over the body, among which flowers are the most toxic. Eating them will cause nausea and vomiting, quadriplegia and even life-threatening.
2.nux vomica
Semen Strychni is very toxic, so don't eat it easily. Semen Strychni is also known as strychnine, which is mainly composed of strychnine. Adults can be poisoned by taking 5- 10 mg at a time, and 30 mg can be fatal.
3. catnip
The toxic part of the cat's eye is mainly its white serosity, which will cause allergies when it touches the skin. If you eat white serosity by mistake, it will lead to oral numbness, stomach discomfort and even a lot of dizziness.
4.mimosa
Mimosas are common in rural areas. Its leaves can feel heat and light and react. Therefore, when we touch it with our hands, it will close immediately, hence the name mimosa.
Mimosa contains o-β-D- glucoside, which is slightly toxic. Excessive exposure to the sun can cause hair and eyebrows to turn yellow or even fall off. In addition, mimosin can also cause cataracts and growth inhibition. Therefore, we should not touch and plant mimosa indoors.
5.nightshade
Many people have eaten Solanum nigrum, generally eating its leaves and purple-black fruits. However, we should remind everyone that turquoise fruit is inedible. Because the turquoise fruit contains a lot of solanine.
Also containing solanine are immature tomatoes and potatoes, which germinate and turn green. Eating it will make you feel bitter. If you eat too much, it will seriously lead to poisoning, dizziness, nausea, general malaise, vomiting and general fatigue. It can inhibit the central nervous system and cause acute brain edema and gastroenteritis.
6, coriaria fruit
April and May of every year in South China is the season when Coriaria fruit matures gradually. Immature coriaria fruit is green, bright red at first, and then gradually turns purple-black. Sweet and slightly astringent, highly toxic. It is often poisoned by children and even leads to death.
Because coriaria fruit is very similar to mulberry, many people will eat it by mistake when they look at attractive colors. It mainly contains coriaria toxin, hydroxyl coriaria toxin, hydrogenated coriaria toxin and other toxic substances.
If eaten by mistake, it will stimulate the cerebral cortex and cause a series of poisoning symptoms such as excitement, convulsions and vomiting. Frequent tonic convulsions can cause brain edema and respiratory failure, and other organs such as lung, liver, heart and kidney will also be damaged. Therefore, children should be warned not to eat.
7. caster
Ricinus communis is familiar to everyone. China is a country with more castor plants in the world. There used to be a song called "I planted castor for my motherland", which once made great contributions.
Castor is the treasure of the whole body, its leaves can detoxify and relieve itching, its roots can dispel wind and promote blood circulation, and its seeds can extract oil and be used as fuel. In the past, there was always a power outage in our countryside, and castor oil was used as fuel for oil lamps in many places. Even in some places in the past, it can be used to offset tuition fees.
The toxicity of ricin is more than 0/000 times that of arsenic, 2-3 times that of cobra toxin and 6,000 times that of cyanide, so it is not as toxic as usual.
Adults who take too much ricin will not die immediately, but they will have chest tightness first, gradually have difficulty breathing, and finally die of organ failure.
So, don't eat it easily. A friend said that he had fried castor seeds before. I don't know if it's true or not. It feels incredible!
8. Lysimachia christinae
What we are saying now is different from what we said in ancient times. In ancient times, it was said that Herba Lysimachiae was not a kind of grass, but a dozen kinds of grass.
Refers to herbs or plants that have strong toxic and side effects on human gastrointestinal tract due to improper or accidental administration. Mainly tripterygium wilfordii, gourd vine, dead vine, Stellera chamaejasme, aconite, Euphorbia spurge, gelsemium, star anise and so on.
Today, I'm talking about a common hook kiss in the south. Many people in southern rural areas can make soup with five-fingered peaches. But when digging five-finger peaches, they will be mixed with gourds if they are not careful. Its roots, stems and flowers are poisonous.
Because its rhizome is very similar to the root of five-finger peach, and its flowers are often mistaken for honeysuckle to eat, we should pay attention to the distinction.
Gelsemin is contained in Gelsemium, which is a strong neurotoxin, and will cause strong reactions in digestive system, circulatory system and respiratory system.
9.hemlock fruit
Cycas are common in southern China, and are usually used as ornamental plants. Because it is evergreen all the year round and easy to take care of, it will be planted in parks, communities and roadsides to play an ornamental role.
In the cognition of some people who are not familiar with cycads, cycads do not often bloom. In fact, Cycas can often be seen in the south, with beautiful flowers and fruits, which are called "Phoenix Eggs".
However, we should pay special attention to the fact that the fruit of cycad is toxic, containing toxic substances such as cycad glycoside, which will paralyze the nerves after eating by mistake, and even lead to death after eating too much.
10, Phytolacca acinosa
What looks like a bunch of small grapes is called Phytolacca americana, formerly known as Phytolacca americana.
It is an invasive plant, native to North America. The specimen was collected in Hangzhou, China on 1935, and it was introduced as an ornamental plant. In the past, in rural areas, children in some places would use it as a dye or dye their nails.
The whole plant of Phytolacca acinosa is toxic, and the root and fruit are the most toxic. Because its rhizome is very similar to ginseng, it is often mistaken for ginseng.
After taking it, people who are light will feel dizzy and diarrhea. In severe cases, vomiting or dry choking, burning sensation in the mouth and stomach, abdominal convulsions, diarrhea, and even death due to cardiac paralysis may occur. Parents should be careful not to let their children eat by mistake.
Yang Jiao sag 1 1
This plant is more common in southern cities, and its fruit looks like a horn, so it is called a horn in rural areas. In rural areas, some children will play with fruits as toys, so parents must tell their children not to eat them.
The whole plant is toxic and contains cardiac glycosides, which is a mixture of various cardiac glycosides. Its poisoning mechanism is the same as that of cardiac glycosides such as digitalis.
After poisoning, the mild person will have headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and so on. In severe cases, convulsions, coma, cardiac arrest and death may occur.
