Day lily, also called day lily, is one of people's favorite dishes. However, day lily contains colchicine. If the human body ingests colchicine, it will be oxidized in human tissues and generate colchicine. Colchicine is a highly toxic substance, which can poison human gastrointestinal tract and urinary system and seriously threaten health. If an adult eats fresh daylily 50 ~100g at a time, it can cause poisoning.
Detoxification method: To prevent the poisoning of fresh daylily, you can boil fresh daylily in boiling water for a while, and then soak it in clear water to remove most of the water-soluble colchicine. You can also cook fresh daylily thoroughly before cooking.
Extended data:
Although colchicine is toxic, it still has medical value.
1, gout
Colchicine may reduce the deposition of uric acid crystals, alleviate inflammatory reaction and play an analgesic role by reducing leukocyte activity and phagocytosis and reducing lactic acid formation. Mainly used for acute gout, but ineffective for general pain, inflammation and chronic gout.
2. Anti-tumor
It can inhibit cell mitosis and has anti-tumor effect, but it is toxic and has been rarely used now. It has obvious curative effect on breast cancer, and may also have certain curative effect on cervical cancer, esophageal cancer and lung cancer. Some patients' tumors shrink, which is beneficial to surgical resection.
