Master Doctor in the City

The whole world is opposing this bad habit, but in places like these, I am afraid that it will exist for a long time, and Ye Chen cannot interfere, nor can he interfere.

Now he just followed these two wizards to get a preliminary understanding of the medicinal properties of those plants.

Until 5 o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun started to go down, Ye Chen was going to leave with the two wizards, and to look at other plants tomorrow.

Suddenly the two wizards stopped.

A plant was found there, and the two wizards stopped immediately.

"Miss interpreter, what are they talking about?"

"They say this is one of the most poisonous plants in Africa."

The most poisonous plant?

African Acacia.

African Acacia is an African subspecies of Acacia, with the English name "Crab Eye". Woody vine; even-numbered pinnate compound leaves, 8-15 pairs of oblong leaflets; blooms in spring and summer, flowers are terminal or axillary racemes, butterfly-shaped corolla, lavender or occasionally white, flowering period is September; oblong The pods are densely bristled with fine hairs, and the broad ovoid seeds are bright and beautiful in color. The upper part is vermilion red, and the lower third is black. The appearance is similar to the color of a ladybug.

The seeds contain a protein called virgin toxin. This toxin is very toxic. It can be poisoned when swallowed, and even killed in severe cases.

It is a very dangerous job to process the seeds of chicken mother beads into bead necklaces. There have been cases where someone accidentally stabbed their fingers when drilling holes for the seeds, which caused death. Chewing the seeds can cause loss of appetite, severe diarrhea, drowsiness, tremor and ataxia.

Distributed in tropical Africa, including Sudan, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Niger, Togo and Namibia.

Madagascar and some islands in the western Indian Ocean.

African Acacia is a woody vine that grows around trees, shrubs and hedges, without special organs. The slender branches have a smooth texture, and the brown bark is cylindrical and wrinkled. The stems are thin, multi-branched, rusty and white with rough hairs.

Pinnate compound leaves glabrous, leaves 50-100 mm long; 20-24 pairs of leaflets, membranous, opposite, nearly oblong, 12-18 mm long, 4-8 mm wide, apex truncated, with small tips The head, the base is nearly round, the upper surface is glabrous, and the lower surface is sparsely white with rough hairs; the petiole is short.

Racemes are axillary, 3-8 cm long; inflorescence shafts are thick and short; flowers are small and densely capitate; calyx is campanulate, calyx teeth are 4-lobed, white shaggy; corolla is light purple, short-stalked, arranged in clusters . The flag-petal peduncle is triangular, with narrow and narrow wing and keel; stamens 9; ovary coat.

The pod is oblong, with a smooth texture, the petals are leathery, the tip of the beak is turned outwards, 30-45 mm long, 12 mm wide, cracking when mature, with 3-5 seeds; the seeds are about 6 mm long, oval, smooth It is shiny, usually bright scarlet with a smooth and shiny texture, with a black spot on the top. Flowering period from March to June, fruit period from September to October.

African Acacia is an important economic and medicinal plant.

Its leaves are mainly eaten as vegetables in central and eastern Africa. However, its seeds are very dangerous and poisonous. If misused or eaten by mistake, humans and animals will lose their lives.

The seeds are strong in quality and beautiful in color. They can be used as decorations, but they are highly toxic and can be used externally to treat skin diseases. The roots and vines are used as medicine to clear heat, detoxify and diuresis.

The toxicity mainly comes from the virgin virulin contained inside.

If the human body inhales 3 micrograms of acacia toxin protein, it will be fatal, and the toxic content of 1 chicken mother bead is more than 3 micrograms. Therefore, the folks list it as "the top five most toxic plants in the world".

This kind of acacia is also found in China, and it is also called acacia bean, but it looks a little different from the domestic ones because it belongs to the same family and different species.

He didn't expect that this kind of lovesick is so powerful, it is directly poison.

Ye Chen didn't know what these wizards did.

"What are they used for?"

Ye Chen asked.

"It may be used to catch animals, or it may be used for abortion."

Abortion?

This is too scary!

Ye Chen couldn't believe it.

However, the two wizards seemed very excited, and kept letting the entourage pick them back and put them in the bag.

Ye Chen was just watching.

After they finished picking, the two wizards returned to the tribe by themselves, and did not stay to eat. They went back in a carriage.

After watching them leave, I remembered what the lady translator had just said, knowing that those African tribes were more terrifying than he thought.

It's okay if it's in a large civilized city, like this kind of terrifying tribe, for those women, it is a feeling that life is better than death.

Ye Chen returned to the hospital and began to cook dinner.

After the dinner was prepared, and Dr. He He and the others finished their dinner, he began to sort out the drug information.

There are nearly fifty kinds in total.

Except for a few that are also available in China, the others should be local.

Ye Chen also used his mobile phone to check the information of these plants and obtain their true plant names.

If some medicines really work so well, Ye Chen thinks they can be used in Chinese medicine, or can be added to Chinese medicine.

After all, domestic Chinese medicinal materials are also discovered by famous doctors generation after generation, and they are not discovered all at once.

When he sorted out the information until the early morning, he took another bath and got ready to sleep.

At three o'clock in the morning, someone came to wake up suddenly.

It really wasn't someone else who woke him up. It was a black Chinese doctor named Zebra in the hospital.

This is his name. Ye Chen didn't know why his name was like this.

Zebra said a patient called for help.

Ye Chen hurriedly followed and found that a black woman had been poisoned.

You can tell from her face.

What kind of poison did the other party eat?

Knowing it is a kind of fruit.

Ye Chen saw that it was not other fruits, but the kind of African Acacia that I saw this afternoon, which had dried up. He didn't know how much the other party had eaten.

Under normal circumstances, gastric lavage is required, but there is no such medical device to lavage her stomach, so she can only regurgitate her stomach and vomit all those things.

There are many ways to make a person sick.

Among them, the rural soil method is to let a person eat the **** directly, and then vomit it out.

Ye Chen definitely couldn't do that.

Rather, after massaging multiple places on her body, the black woman vomited and vomited almost everything in her stomach.

Originally, those African Acacia fruit dates were in September and October, and now it has entered December, and there are still some such fruits, just like the ones that have been dried up this afternoon.

"These are poisonous foods. You won't be able to eat everything you see in the future. It will be fatal to eat them."

Ye Chen felt that these people didn't know if they were starving or too courageous, and even dared to eat things they didn't know.

It seems that these are to be promoted. After all, this plant is distributed all over the world, especially in Africa.

If this happens again, if you don't deal with it in time, I'm afraid it will really be fatal.
