Tripterygium wilfordii is a plant that is easy to eat by mistake in Guangxi. The whole plant of tripterygium wilfordii contains poison. After ingesting a certain amount, it will cause dizziness, numbness of limbs, respiratory failure and other poisoning symptoms. Although tripterygium wilfordii can be used as medicine, what many people don't know is that tripterygium wilfordii must be processed to relieve swelling and pain, clear away heat and toxic materials and eliminate rheumatism.
Jiang Yuyan, director of the Institute of Food Safety Risk Detection and Assessment of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention of the Autonomous Region: Some people just do a study, that is to say, for example, those cattle and sheep on that mountain will have no symptoms at first after eating tripterygium wilfordii. After about two or three months, the cow will have such a situation, shedding hair, swelling and finally dying.

Another kind of wild vegetable that is easy to be eaten by mistake is kidney tea, which is also a big tea medicine in the mouth of ordinary people. Its flowers are particularly like honeysuckle, and its roots are also very like five-fingered peaches. However, from tender leaves to flowers, from stems to fruits, it is toxic, and the mortality rate of kidney tea in Guangxi is also relatively high in recent years.
Jiang Yuyan, director of the Food Safety Risk Testing and Evaluation Institute of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention of the Autonomous Region: People will use it to make tea and soak wine, which will cause poisoning. Another situation is that the current wild honey just picked the flowers of this broken grass, and then someone ate this wild honey and then caused poisoning.

In recent years, there have been several poisoning incidents of children eating tung oil fruit by mistake in Guangxi. Tung oil fruit is shaped like a walnut, with a core like a chestnut and a taste like a peanut. Seemingly natural and pollution-free, it is actually a poisonous "devil fruit".

In spring, there is also a beautiful but poisonous plant called Datura. When Datura blooms, it looks like a girl's pleated skirt dress, which is interesting and beautiful. However, the whole plant contains scopolamine, which will cause hallucinations, coma and other reactions after ingesting a certain dose. Datura stramonium is the main ingredient of ancient antiperspirant and hemp boiling powder.
Wild mushrooms
The last thing to say is wild mushrooms. Poisoning by edible wild mushrooms occurs all year round, but it is most common in spring and summer when mushrooms grow and reproduce. According to statistics, there are about 400 kinds of poisonous mushrooms in China, which cannot be completely identified by folk methods alone, so don't pick mushrooms in the wild.
Do not pick, buy, sell or eat.
Disease control experts say that the best way to prevent potherb poisoning is not to pick, buy, sell or eat.
If poisoning symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea occur after eating wild vegetables and wild mushrooms, you should immediately induce vomiting and immediately send them to the hospital for rescue. At the same time, keep food samples as much as possible so that doctors can treat the symptoms.
