Spring flowers are blooming, wild vegetables are fragrant, but "wild celery" may hide poison!
With the arrival of spring, the earth is revived and full of life. During such seasons, people come out of their homes to experience the beauty of nature. Among them, digging wild vegetables has become a spring fun for many people. However, while enjoying the fun, a potential danger looms - that is, the accidental ingestion of poisonous "wild celery".
Recently, a news about "wild celery" poisoning has attracted widespread attention on social platforms. According to reports, Mr. Zhao from Changsha, Hunan Province, mistakenly took poisonous Shilongrui home as wild celery to cook and eat, causing his wife to develop symptoms such as nausea and vomiting and was rushed to the hospital for treatment. After being confirmed by the disease control department, it was discovered that the so-called "wild celery" turned out to be a poisonous stone dragon. As soon as this incident came out, it immediately attracted people's attention to the safety of wild vegetables.
So, what exactly is a stone dragon rui? Why is it mistaken for wild celery? Stone dragon rui, also known as water pansy, ghost sorrow, etc., is a common aquatic plant. Its leaves are palmate**, similar to the pinnate leaves** of water celery, so they can be easily confused. However, the whole herb is poisonous, and when ingested, it can cause symptoms such as burning in the mouth, swelling, difficulty chewing, severe diarrhea, and even life-threatening in severe cases.
In fact, similar incidents of accidental ingestion are not uncommon. Every spring, many people are admitted to the hospital for ingesting poisonous plants**. Among them, there are some "veterans" who have rich experience in wild vegetables. They often rely on years of experience and self-confidence to pick wild vegetables in the wild, only to be unlucky. It also reminds us that while enjoying the gifts of nature, we must be vigilant and learn to correctly recognize the difference between wild plants and poisonous plants.
What should we do to avoid the serious consequences of accidentally ingesting poisonous plants? First of all, when you are in the wilderness, you should bring a professional guide or consult a local professional to ensure the safety and reliability of the ingredients you are picking. Secondly, when picking wild vegetables, it is necessary to carefully observe their morphological characteristics and pay attention to distinguishing them from poisonous plants. Finally, wild vegetables should be fully washed and processed before cooking to ensure their hygiene and safety.
In addition, we should also strengthen publicity and education on the safety of wild vegetables. **Departments and relevant institutions can popularize wild vegetable knowledge and safety knowledge to the public through various channels, and improve people's awareness of prevention and self-protection ability. At the same time, it can also play a supervisory role, timely report and warn about accidental ingestion incidents, and guide the public to treat the safety of wild vegetables correctly.
