[The preface story is fictional, please watch it rationally, if there is any similarity, it is purely a coincidence, all pictures are from the Internet]
Aunt Zhang in the community was walking in the park, and saw some green wild vegetables growing on the side of the road, thinking that this is a good thing, when I was in the countryside before, these were treasures.
So she happily picked a bag and went home, planning to stew a wild vegetable soup for her family in the evening, but she didn't expect this meal to end the whole family in the hospital.
It turned out that some wild vegetables that Aunt Zhang didn't know actually contained toxins, and eating them was harmful to the body.
In our daily life, wild vegetables are often considered to be a gift from nature, green, natural and healthy. Many elderly people have a soft spot for wild vegetables, believing that they are rich in nutrients.
However, not all wild vegetables can be eaten safely, especially these 5 kinds of wild vegetables should be careful.
1. Poison hemlock
Speaking of this poison hemlock, it is really a bit similar to the celery we eat on weekdays, but it is like a home, but don't think that it is a nutritious vegetable like celery.
The toxins contained in poison hemlock are not a joke, they can directly affect the nervous system and cause serious problems in the body. If you accidentally eat it, the consequences can be very serious.
A few years ago, there was a news that a family went out on an outing and saw a patch of green wild vegetables, which looked exactly like celery.
So I happily picked a handful and took it home, but I didn't expect this meal to put their whole family in the hospital.
Not long after the family ate it, they began to feel that something was wrong, first dizziness and nausea, then numbness in their hands and feet, and the situation became more and more serious.
Fortunately, they realized in time that it might be food poisoning and immediately called the emergency number. When I arrived at the hospital, the doctor saw that this was an ordinary wild vegetable, and it was clearly poison hemlock.
After some intense treatment, he was out of danger.
This incident tells us that wild vegetables in the wild cannot be picked and eaten casually. Especially poison hemlock, you have to learn how to distinguish it from ordinary celery.
Poison hemlock usually has burrs on its stems that are prickly to the touch, while real celery is very smooth. The edges of the hemlock leaves are jagged and distinct, and the color is darker greenish.
Of course, the safest way is to believe that when you are not sure what this is for, it is better to believe that it is poisonous and not to try it easily, after all, you only have one life, and health is the most important.
I like to go on adventures in the wild and get close to nature, which is of course a good thing. But when it comes to enjoying the gifts of nature, you also have to be mindful.
Plants you don't recognize, especially those that look like celery, are best not to be touched, let alone put in your mouth to taste. What we pursue is health and happiness, not to make trouble for ourselves for the sake of temporary freshness.
Second, Cang's ear
Cang'erzi, you may have played with this thing when you were a child, it is the kind of little fruit that is covered with small thorns and sticks to your clothes and is particularly difficult to get off.
Some elderly people may think that it is a treasure, because there is a saying that it can cure rhinitis. But I'm going to tell you, this cang's ear is not a good thing, and there is a big hidden danger in it.
Xanthium contains a thing called Xanthium toxin, if you accidentally eat it, even a small amount may make you feel nauseous, vomit, and in severe cases, it can also harm the liver and kidneys, and even threaten life.
Although the medicinal value of Xanthus was indeed recorded in medical books in ancient times, now science has told us that eating Xanthus directly, especially without any treatment, is simply pushing oneself into the fire pit.
Come to think of it, it is not cost-effective to think that you want to cure a minor ailment, but you may suffer more damage to your body because of ignorance.
So whether it's out of curiosity or if you really want to try this home remedy, you have to think about it first. Life is precious, health is priceless, don't risk the so-called "miracle cure".
Especially now that information is so developed, we have more channels to obtain knowledge.
If you are really interested in Xanthus or other herbs and want to know their efficacy and usage, you can definitely check the latest information or consult a professional doctor.
After all, the experience of the older generation is valuable, but the research results of modern medicine are equally important, and the combination of the two can understand the truth of things more comprehensively.
Besides, even if it is a home remedy handed down by the ancestors, you have to pay attention to a method and dosage, and not everything can be used casually.
Just like Xanthus, even if it really has some medicinal effects, it must be extracted and prepared by scientific methods to ensure safety and effectiveness.
The next time you encounter Cangzi in the wild, or hear someone talk about its miraculous effects, remember to be rational and don't blindly follow the trend.
Health is your own, safety first, what you don't understand, it's better to leave it to a professional to deal with. There is only one life, and we have to be responsible for ourselves and our families.
3. Purslane
Speaking of purslane, this is a relatively common wild vegetable in our lives. Especially in spring and summer, you can see its green figure when you go for a walk in the park or walk on a country road.
Purslane not only grows fast and has tenacious vitality, but also has certain medicinal value, it is said to clear heat and detoxify, and can also help stop bleeding, so many people like to pick some to cook at home and eat, which is delicious and healthy.
However, everything has a degree, and purslane is good, but you can't eat too much. As we often say, "the extremes of things must be reversed", eating too much purslane may have adverse effects on the body.
Especially for those friends who don't have a good spleen and stomach, or people who often have diarrhea and unformed stools, eating too much purslane may make things worse.
Because purslane is cold, eating more will stimulate the stomach and intestines, increase the burden on the spleen and stomach, and make the stomach more uncomfortable.
Pregnant women should also pay attention to the fact that some ingredients in purslane may have an effect on the fetus, so during pregnancy, it is best to eat less or no food to avoid adverse effects on the baby.
After all, pregnancy is a special period, and food safety is very important, and you can't ignore the consideration of your baby's health because of a momentary appetite.
Of course, for the average person, there is no problem with moderate consumption of purslane, which can provide rich vitamins and minerals, which is good for health.
But everything has to be in moderation, and the same is true for eating, and a balanced diet is the king. So the next time you see purslane in the wild and want to pick it home to cook, remember to control the portion amount and don't eat too much at once.
Purslane is a good wild vegetable, but while enjoying its delicious taste and medicinal value, it is also necessary to arrange the consumption reasonably according to the individual's physique and health condition.
Fourth, the broken intestine grass
Broken intestine grass, in fact, its scientific name is hook kiss, is a poisonous plant that grows between mountains and fields and next to streams.
The reason why it can make people "break the intestines" is because it contains a toxin called leptoline. Once this toxin enters the human body, it can make you vomit and diarrhea, or it may directly kill you.
So even though it's beautiful and the flowers are showy, don't be fooled by its appearance.
The leaves of the Broken Intestine Grass are green, a bit like honeysuckle, and when they bloom, the color is so beautiful that it is easy to mistake them for the same thing.
Everyone knows that honeysuckle is a good thing, which can not only make tea and drink, but also clear heat and detoxify. But this intestine grass is different, it looks attractive, but in fact it is dangerous.
Especially in the countryside, the elderly sometimes have a bad eye, coupled with the lack of understanding of these wildflowers and weeds, it is easy to pick the broken intestine grass as honeysuckle when they are not careful.
You must know that this kind of accidental ingestion is not just as simple as stomach trouble, if it is serious, it can really toss people to death.
Therefore, whether it is in the mountains or in the fields, if you see plants you don't know, especially those that look like honeysuckle, you must pay more attention to them, and don't just pick them home.
Nowadays, people's living conditions are better, and many people like to go for a walk in the wild, breathe fresh air, and pick some wild vegetables and fruits by the way.
But you have to know that nature, while generous, also hides many dangers. Broken intestine grass is an example of this, like a beautiful trap waiting for those who accidentally step into it.
When you go out, especially with children and the elderly, you must pay attention to safety, don't touch things you don't know, don't eat indiscriminately, safety first, health is the most important.
If you are really interested in wildflowers and weeds and want to learn more, it is best to follow an experienced guide, which is both safe and knowledgeable.
After all, the mysteries of nature are endless, and we still need to maintain a sense of awe in order to better enjoy the beauty it brings.
5. Mandala
Mandala, the name sounds quite special, its flowers are particularly beautiful, a bit like a big trumpet, and the colors are also bright, which is easy to attract people's attention.
And its fruit is round and plump, with a smooth appearance, a bit like the eggplant we usually see, which makes many people think that it is a wild fruit that can be eaten.
In fact, the mandala is not as gentle and harmless as it looks, and the entire plant, from roots to leaves, to fruits and seeds, contains a lot of toxins.
In particular, the seemingly enticing fruits and seeds inside contain a powerful neurotoxin called hyoscyamine.
Once the toxin enters the body, it begins to wreak havoc, starting with hallucinations of seeing or hearing things that don't exist.
It can then cause muscle spasms and, in severe cases, cardiac arrest or respiratory failure, which is directly life-threatening.
Historically, mandala has been used as an anesthetic and even as a ritual medicine in some cultures, but these are used under strict control and require a great deal of medical knowledge and experience to be safe.
For us ordinary people, the best thing to do is to stay away from it, not to touch it out of curiosity, let alone try its taste.
If you encounter a mandala in the wild, it's okay to appreciate its beauty, but never have any thoughts of wanting to touch or taste it.
In nature, there are many plants that have similar properties to mandalas, and they hide potential dangers with their beautiful coats.
Therefore, no matter when and where, you should maintain a sense of awe, treat unknown plants, especially those that look unusually attractive, and be vigilant to avoid unnecessary risks.
epilogue
Although wild vegetables are natural, healthy and delicious, you must be careful when choosing them.
These 5 kinds of wild vegetables must be paid attention to, and must be passed on to the elderly at home, so that they can also pay attention to their own safety and health when enjoying the gifts of nature.
We only have one life, and we can't put ourselves and our families in danger because of a moment of negligence.
I hope everyone can eat healthy and eat with peace of mind!
