Is chrysanthemum poisonous?

1. Toxicity

1. Many people choose to use this kind of flower to make tea, but they don’t know much about it. In fact, there are one or two hundred varieties of this plant, and basically all of them do not grow tall. In addition, many people who plant this flower will be wary of animals, which is also related to its toxicity.

2. Its head is somewhat toxic and is also poisonous to humans, but it is not lethal. It may just cause a little pain when you touch it, and there may also be a feeling of swelling. But no one pays too much attention to it, and most doctors only treat it as allergy and inflammation.

3. Of course, this poison can also disappear. Generally, it will disappear after we steam or fry it. Therefore, the chrysanthemum tea on the market is not toxic because it has been processed.

2. Degree of toxicity

In fact, the toxin of this plant is relatively strong, and it is ranked sixth among the most poisonous plants. However, the toxicity of artificially cultivated ones will be stronger, while the toxicity of wild ones will be relatively small. Therefore, you must be careful when growing chrysanthemums at home, because large-scale contact can easily cause the skin to become itchy. In addition, the contacted areas are likely to become swollen and painful.

3. Food taboos

Of course, we must also be careful not to cook it together with chicken and pork, otherwise it will definitely cause poisoning. In addition, it is also not acceptable to cook it together with celery.
