The results of light microscopy, the model group gastrointestinal mucosa congestion, mucosal epithelial cell detachment.

Gastrointestinal mucosal congestion was not obvious in the high dose group of olive antidote drink, and the glandular epithelium appeared mildly detached; the gastrointestinal mucosal layers in the medium and small dose groups had basically returned to normal.
