Small domestic plants can take people's lives

Don't underestimate the attractive-looking flowers and plants growing in your yard or even your home, as they may cause headaches, convulsions or even death. According to the 2007 Handbook of Poisonous Plants, children under the age of 6 are more vulnerable, accounting for 85% of visits to the doctor for poisoning.

Tenth place, daffodil.

The bulbs are mildly toxic if consumed in larger quantities. Some people confuse it with onions. People who accidentally ingest the bulbs will experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea. If the condition is serious or the patient is a child, the doctor will recommend intravenous or oral medication to relieve nausea, vomiting and other symptoms.

Ninth place, Du Juanhua.

The leaves of azaleas and the flowers they belong to are poisonous. Even the nectar made from azalea pollen is poisonous. If you accidentally eat one of them, you will feel a burning sensation in your mouth, and then possible symptoms may include increasingly obvious salivation, nausea, vomiting and tingling of the skin. This is followed by headaches, muscle weakness, blurred vision, etc. There may also be bradycardia and arrhythmia, and in severe cases, the patient may fall into a coma or experience fatal convulsions.

Eighth place, rubber tree.

Also known as the Benjamin tree, its leaves and stems contain a poisonous milky sap. The worst consequence of poisoning is painful and swollen skin.

Seventh, oleander.

Every part is poisonous, and even if you accidentally inhale a little smoke from burning oleander, it will cause discomfort. In addition, using its branches for barbecuing or drinking water that has been placed with oleander flowers can cause symptoms of poisoning. Typical symptoms are changes in heart rate, sometimes bradycardia, sometimes palpitations, and sometimes high potassium.

Sixth place, chrysanthemum.

Gardeners plant chrysanthemums to keep rabbits away because the flower heads are poisonous to humans as well. Touching the anus may cause some pain and swelling.

Fifth, the flower candle.

Also known as Anthurium and Red Anthurium, its leaves and stems have strange shapes, and the stamens are surrounded by spathes, all of which are poisonous. If ingested, the mouth may feel burning and painful, followed by swelling and blistering, the voice may become hoarse and strained, and swallowing may become difficult. Most symptoms will lessen and disappear over time, and if you want to relieve the pain, you can choose cooling liquids, pain-relieving pills, or foods such as licorice and flaxseed.

Fourth place, lily of the valley.

Also known as Mayflower, it is poisonous everywhere, even its tip. A slight contact with lily of the valley may not cause harm, but if you eat some, you will experience nausea, vomiting, mouth pain, abdominal pain, diarrhea and cramps, and a slow or irregular heartbeat; doctors will promote the excretion of toxins by methods such as gastric lavage and restore the heartbeat to normal by giving medication.

Third place, Hydrangea.

In everyone's imagination, it is edible just like marshmallows and bread rolls, but once hydrangea is eaten, abdominal pain will appear after a few hours. Other typical symptoms of poisoning include skin pain, vomiting, weakness and sweating. There are also reports that patients may even experience coma, convulsions and blood circulation collapse.

Second place, foxglove.

Also known as digitalis, its leaves can be used commercially and are the raw material for the drug "Digitalis" for treating heart disease. If any part of it is accidentally ingested, symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, mouth pain, and even abnormal heartbeat will occur. Doctors will use methods such as gastric lavage to promote detoxification and stabilize the heart through medication.

First, Shiitake.

Also known as cloud bean tree. The shape is quite romantic: the blue, pink or white flowers, the size of small sweet beans, spread densely and droop. Its whole body is poisonous. Although some reports say that its flowers are not poisonous, it is still better to be careful. Because there are too many reports showing that if accidentally ingested, it can cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea, and appropriate treatments should be taken, such as intravenous drips and anti-nausea drugs.
