Kalmia Latifolia
Kalmia Latifolia flowers are known for the pink and white color is always blooming every end of spring. Flowers from the states of Pennsylvania and Connecticut, now can be found in several other states in the United States.
Although it looks beautiful, this flower is also known as a killer. The two main poisons he has are andromedotoxin and arbutin.
Andromedotoxin simultaneously causes the heart to beat rapidly. This can trigger a sudden death in someone.
However, it can all happen if you are poisoning this flower in large doses. If in small doses, the effect is vomiting and headache.
About an hour later, the patient's breathing will slow down and lose the ability to use muscle.
Jacobaea Vulgaris
Jacobaea Vulgaris is a wildflower that can be found in England. This flower is yellow and has a beautiful powder in the middle.
However, the World Health Organization has confirmed the presence of alkaloids in this flower.
Alkaloids are a class of nitrogenous basic compounds that are mostly heterocyclic and contained in plants.
Alkaloids are not like other substances that can instantly kill. These compounds will accumulate in the liver over time and produce liver cirrhosis - the condition of scarring in the liver resulting from long-term liver damage (chronic).
Symptoms of cirrhosis of the liver are the onset of abdominal pain, more yellowing of the eyes and less vision.
Veratrum
Found in almost every mountain in the northern hemisphere, the Veratrum species emit beautiful spiral bundles. This plant is generally grown for ornamental purposes because the leaves look beautiful.
The first symptom of Veratrum poisoning is abdominal cramps, for 30 minutes. When the poison seeps into the bloodstream, they go directly to the sodium ion channel.
The sodium ion channels act like gates to allow sodium to flow through the nerves. When Veratrum poisons about the sodium ion channels, they open the floodgates, forcing the channels to continue to burn.
The body does not know what to do with such conditions, so the heart starts to alternate slow and accelerate.
Zantedeschia
Zantedeschia flowers have another name that is calla lily - though not related to lilies.
Despite its beautiful shape and color, the Zantedeschia species contain calcium oxalate - a chemical that forms crystals such as needles inside the internal organs.
More than 1,000 plant species contain calcium oxalate, and Zantedeschia is one of the most dangerous.
Even a very small chemical dose is enough to cause a person's throat to swell, usually accompanied by intense burning.
The more you eat, the worse the symptoms, until your throat swells so big and your respiratory tract is stunted.
In one incident, a Chinese restaurant accidentally put the petals of this poisonous plant into the food of the consumer. At that time everyone who ate it was rushed to the hospital.
