Seven people barbecue and pick wild onions on the mountain, eating completely diarrhea

Recently, Mr. Shang and his friends from Zhumadian, Henan did not bring scallions for a picnic and barbecue. Seeing lush greenery on the mountains and fields, they thought to themselves, 'It's okay to pick and marinate them for eating.' After eating, all seven people had diarrhea.

Doctors remind us that wild plants have a wide variety of species, some of which may be toxic or contaminated. Blindly consuming them can easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort or even poisoning. Therefore, caution should be exercised when consuming them, and uncertain wild vegetables should not be eaten!

Be careful of poisonous plants and wild vegetables that may hit your face

When ordinary people get close to nature and enjoy rural life, they must not eat wild vegetables at will, "said Huang Ke, a professor at the College of Horticulture, Hunan Agricultural University." There are at least thousands of types of edible wild vegetables that are poisonous plants that can cause facial irritation. As professionals, it is also difficult to accurately identify them with the naked eye

Huang Ke said that common poisonous plants that are easily mistaken for wild vegetables mainly include poisonous celery, poisonous wormwood, and broken intestine grass. Their appearance is very similar to water celery, mugwort, and honeysuckle, and they are easily confused.

Bi Yanxia, Deputy Chief Nutritionist of the Nutrition Department at Beijing Friendship Hospital, said that some wild vegetables have the problem of toxin accumulation, such as the popular Chinese toon, which already contains nitrite. After prolonged storage, the toxin content will increase sharply. Therefore, fresh Chinese toon should be blanched in boiling water before consumption, and the storage time should not be too long.
