recently, a man in binchuan county, dali bai autonomous prefecture, cooked aconite himself and was poisoned three times after eating it three times. he went to the emergency room three times in a row.

during the cooking process of aconite, due to the unpredictable chemical and physical changes of toxicity, it may be toxic even if it is cooked well. in addition, due to the specificity of the individual's body's reaction to aconite, it often happens that the poison is tested on one's own body.

the first time, after he cooked aconite by himself, he developed symptoms of general numbness, fatigue, and vomiting. he was rushed to the emergency department of binchuan county hospital by his family. he was found to have aconitine poisoning. after gastric lavage, he entered the emergency room for rescue. he was later cured and discharged.

the second time, he came to the emergency department for poisoning after eating aconite. according to him, he had been eating aconite for many years without any reaction. the last time he ate it, he was the only one who was poisoned. he thought it was because of drinking, so he wanted to try again...

unexpectedly, not long after, the patient came to the hospital for the third time, again because of eating aconite, but this time his condition was very dangerous. according to the doctor, the patient developed severe arrhythmia and accelerated ventricular escape rate. after multi-department joint consultation, the situation was finally over.

yunnan consumers association issues poisoning risk warning

in autumn, many people have the habit of stewing chicken, ribs, and pig's feet with caowu or aconite. some people use caowu soaked in wine to treat rheumatic bone pain. but aconite and aconite are not food, let alone health food.

aconite and aconite are toxic chinese medicinal materials. their main components, aconitine, are extremely toxic to the human body. 0.2 mg of aconitine can cause poisoning, and 3 mg can cause death. ordinary heating methods such as stewing cannot completely destroy its toxicity, and eating it often leads to poisoning or even death.

in order to protect the health and life safety of the people, the yunnan consumers association issued a risk warning.

regarding caowei poisoning, many people have a misunderstanding - they believe that "although caowu aconite is poisonous, as long as it is cooked well, it will not be poisonous after eating."

gao lianming, a researcher and doctoral supervisor at the kunming institute of botany, chinese academy of sciences, said that this statement is not correct.

he believes that aconite and aconite are highly toxic, and the cooking standards and processes are very difficult to control. ordinary people often rely on experience and feelings during the cooking process. they have no grasp of some toxic chemical and physical changes in aconite during the cooking process, which results in considerable uncertainty and instability. that said, it can be poisonous no matter how well cooked it is.

in addition, some people like to add some other chinese medicinal materials when cooking caowu, thinking that this will be more effective. in fact, this is very wrong. if caowu and aconite are used together with some plants, caowu may become aconite toxicity is more difficult to remove, increasing the risk of poisoning.
