Recently, a "college student mistook Shang Lu for ginseng and slept for 17 hours after eating it".
It was widely spread on the short ** platform and sparked heated discussions.
The person concerned, Xiaoyi, said that she thought she had dug up "ginseng" on campus, and after taking a bite, she slept from about 4 p.m. to 9 a.m. the next morning.
The soil was very loose, and when we pulled it, we pulled out something, and we all thought it was ginseng at the time. Xiaoyi told reporters that at first, he was still a little worried, "I was afraid that I would pull out the homework of a senior", and later learned that the plants on the ground were wild, so I thought it was "ginseng".
According to Red Star News, Xiaoyi said that she is currently studying in South Korea, and she provided reporters with the cut surface and rhizome of the plant she eats**.

Zhang Jing, a traditional Chinese pharmacist in charge of the pharmacy department of the Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that judging from the current information on roots and original plants, there is no doubt that it is a business land. Shanglu is a plant of the Shanglu family, a perennial herb, with hypertrophied fleshy roots, also known as the root of the willow, the night call, the chervil, the swelling and the swelling, the roots of the Shanglu can be used for medicinal purposes.
Zhang Jing said, "This student seems to have slept for a while, but in fact he has a poisoning reaction, which is actually very dangerous." When she woke up later, it may be because the amount she consumed was not very large, and the toxicity would be metabolized by the human body itself. ”
And under the comment area of Xiaoyi's **, many netizens said, "You thought you were asleep, but you actually fainted", "The immune system is crazy", "This seems to be the last grass that Shennong tasted", ......
Zhang Jing emphasized that taking a large amount of Shanglu will cause toxic reactions, mainly manifested as nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea, tachycardia, etc., which in turn cause cardiac obstruction, blood pressure drop, pupil dilation, and myocardial paralysis and death.
For the "last kind of grass that Shennong tasted", Zhang Jing said that Shennong's taste of a hundred herbs is a legendary story, "taste the taste of a hundred herbs, the sweetness and bitterness of the water spring, so that the people know to avoid", according to legend, the last one is the broken intestine grass, not necessarily refers to a specific plant, but a kind of pronoun of poisonous plants.

The reporter noticed that this year, many people were hospitalized for accidentally eating the American merchant land.
On November 29, Sichuan CDC issued a reminder that the stalk of Shanglu leaves with purple-red stems is similar to the appearance of many wild vegetables, and the roots of Shanglu root and native ginseng are similar in appearance, and people are often poisoned by mistakenly picking and eating due to lack of identification ability.
Sichuan CDC said that once the symptoms of poisoning appear, you should immediately induce vomiting and go to a medical institution as soon as possible. In order to avoid poisoning, it is recommended that you go to a regular store to buy medicinal herbs and take them under the guidance of a doctor, and do not pick and eat wild plants by yourself.
