What to do if you accidentally eat calla lily

1. Introduction to plants

It belongs to the Araceae family, is a plant that can survive for many years, and is a perennial plant of the genus Calla. Its leaves are relatively long and shield-shaped, green in color, and the flower stems are relatively tall, taller than the leaves. The inflorescence is a fleshy spadix, which is bright yellow. The bracts are relatively large and shaped like a spathe. It comes in white, yellow, pink and other colors, with white being the most common color.

It can be used as medicine to help clear heat and dissipate toxicity. It can treat burns. Crush the fresh stems of this flower and apply it externally to treat cold symptoms. Because it is toxic, do not take it blindly, otherwise it will cause unpredictable harm to your body.

2. How to deal with accidental ingestion

1. It is toxic because it contains a large amount of alkaloids and crystals, so it may cause drowsiness. Its poison exists in the tubers, flowers and inflorescences. If you eat just a small piece, your tongue will swell and hurt, which is very scary. Even if you don't swallow, your tongue will be numb. If it has not been processed, you must not eat it.

2. If you accidentally ingest it, it is recommended that you see a doctor immediately, because even if you only eat a small piece, you may have a serious poisoning reaction due to your special physical condition. Especially for children, their tolerance is relatively poor. If they cannot see a doctor immediately, they can crush the ginger and drink it to alleviate the symptoms, but it is better to see a doctor, which is more secure.

3. Don’t be too nervous. Drink more boiled water and eat a lighter diet. You can repeatedly rinse your mouth with cold water to relieve the symptoms, or go to the hospital to buy medicine such as atropine to treat this condition.
