Yesterday afternoon, a middle-aged couple walked to the emergency triage table of the Wulin branch of Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine with each other.
Doctor, we seem to be poisoned, I fried the narcissus as garlic sprouts. "My wife is still holding a handful of green leaves.
Mr. Yue and his wife returned to Hangzhou from their hometown ahead of schedule and entered the work state early.
It's a pity that the fridge is empty.
Mrs. Yue looked at the "garlic sprouts" on the windowsill that were still green and luscious, and the growth was gratifying. "Coincidentally, isn't this a ready-made lunch? She proposed to make noodles and stir-fry garlic sprouts for toppings, and her husband readily agreed.

The fragrant noodles were served, but after two bites, Mr. Yue felt that the taste was a little strange, not quite like the garlic sprouts he usually ate. Mrs. Yue felt that it might be that the sauce she fried this time was different, and the couple didn't take it to heart, so a big pot of noodles went down like this.
After the meal, the two of them wanted to take a rest, but their stomachs began to "turn over the river and the sea", and after a while, they couldn't help but feel nauseous and began to vomit.
It's not good, we're poisoned, and there's something wrong with lunch. Mrs. Yue was the first to realize that it might be the "garlic sprouts" in trouble, and after a closer look, which garlic sprouts are these garlic sprouts, they are clearly narcissus without flowering!
Dr. Zhao Lijuan from the Department of Emergency Medicine received the couple, and through the chief complaint symptoms and related cardiac enzyme tests, Dr. Zhao confirmed that the two patients were poisoned by eating daffodils by mistake, but fortunately the amount of poison was not particularly large, so he gave the two patients vomiting and rehydration**, and the couple is now out of danger of poisoning.
"Limbo Fairy" is also loaded with "garlic".
Beware of the "beauty killer".
We often encounter many beautiful flowers that are actually poisonous and can be life-threatening if we are not careful, and narcissus is one of them.
Narcissus is a perennial herbaceous flower of the Lycoris family, from the flower to the root of the whole plant is toxic, the toxin mainly comes from the sap in the bulb, which contains lycorine, Latin toxin, pseudo-lycorine, lycoris and lycoris and other toxic substances, if the narcissus is eaten or used externally, it may cause a variety of poisoning symptoms, and the disease will occur within 15 minutes to an hour after eating.
Gastrointestinal reactions: such as nausea, vomiting, salivation, burning sensation in the throat, abdominal pain, diarrhea, watery or bloody stools, etc. It is mainly related to the irritation of the gastrointestinal mucosa by the toxic components contained in the daffodils after ingestion.
Reactions: such as redness, swelling, pain, or a burning sensation. It is mainly related to the presence of irritating toxins in the flowers and leaves of narcissus, which may cause damage if contacted.
Other symptoms: such as tremors, palpitations, chills in the hands and feet, difficulty breathing and arrhythmias, drop in blood pressure and even shock. It is mainly related to the fact that the toxins in narcissus stimulate the central system and impairs neurological function.
Why are there cases of edible narcissus poisoning every Spring Festival? The reason is very simple, because the daffodils that do not bloom are really too similar to the garlic seedlings, and it just blooms around the Spring Festival, plus people are in the familiar environment of the home, the psychological vigilance will be greatly reduced, and there will be such a thing as "cooking with daffodils".

How can you tell the difference between narcissus and garlic?
The leaves of daffodils are slightly thicker and relatively short; Whereas, the leaves of garlic are comparatively thinner.
The rhizome of narcissus is conical or ovate, more like an onion; The bulb of garlic is a garlic clove, which is the side bud of a short stem disk.
The best difference is their smell, garlic leaves have a distinctly spicy taste as long as they are slightly pinched with their nails or garlic cloves opened, while daffodils do not.
Although the narcissus is good, it is better to see it from a distance.
To be floral, but also to be safe and healthy.
Zhao Lijuan reminded that the bulbs, flowers and juice of daffodils are poisonous, and at present, there is no special antidote for daffodils in the medical community, so it is necessary to pay attention not to touch them at will during the breeding period, and if there are children at home, they should be strictly guarded, do not let children touch daffodils, considering the impact on patients with allergies, daffodils are not suitable for putting in the bedroom.
Wear protective equipment such as gloves, masks, and glasses when handling daffodils to prevent contact with the sap. If you accidentally come into contact with the juice of daffodils, rinse it with water immediately; If the patient is poisoned by taking an excessive amount of daffodils, the patient must immediately take warm water to induce vomiting, or take pure milk, egg white, etc. to protect the gastric mucosa, and seek medical attention as soon as possible.
All in all, although there are many benefits to planting some flowers and plants at home, which can be pleasing to the eye and increase the mood, we must carefully choose safe plants to plant, otherwise it is tantamount to "luring wolves into the house", in addition to narcissus, such as oleander, dripping Guanyin, hyacinth, and poinsettia are ornamental plants that contain certain toxins and need to be treated with caution.
