Why? Can you eat wild vegetables like this?
Plant solar dermatitis is an acute skin inflammation that manifests as erythema, swelling, papules, blisters, blood blisters, or necrosis of the local skin.
Spring and summer are high incidence periods every year, and vigilance is required.
There are three conditions that must be met for it to occur:
Prone to allergies
Consumption of photosensitive foods
Prolonged sun exposure
Common photosensitizing plants
Fruits: lemons, limes, oranges, figs, etc.
Vegetables: gray cabbage, milk vetch, pickled cabbage, lettuce, fennel, amaranth, camellia, celery leaves, toon, elm, locust flower, radish leaves, spinach, buckwheat, coriander, safflower, rape, mustard greens, etc.
Chinese herbal medicine: psoralen, angelica, front hu, angelica, xanthium, crane grass, etc.
These fruits and vegetables all contain the same ingredient – furanocoumarin.
Furancoumarin is a natural photosensitizer, the ingredient itself does not cause damage to the skin, but after being irradiated with ultraviolet rays and UVB, it will produce a photosensitivity reaction, which in turn will cause skin damage.
Don't expose yourself to the sun after eating wild vegetables
