5.European Spindle Tree

5.欧洲卫矛
The European spindle tree is a little known plant that provides lots of food for birds and insects. Some of its other uses include the creation of high quality charcoal colors for artists. The tree can be found throughout woodland areas, and is quite beautiful. However, you should never take a bite of a spindle tree's fruits, no matter how tempting. Both the tree and its fruit have purgative capabilities that are used to combat extreme indigestion. A few drops of spindle tree and everything in your stomach has to go! Large doses can result in extreme and excessive stomach pain. Some of the other symptoms of spindle tree poisoning include nausea and diarrhea. So don't ingest more than three seeds unless you're looking to clear your stomach and experience extreme pain!
众所周知,欧洲卫矛为鸟类和昆虫提供食物,同时也为艺术家制造高质量的木炭色彩。这种美丽的树可以在树林中找到,但是不管如何诱人你都不能吃它的果实。树和果实都有通便的作用,曾用于对抗严重的消化不良,它的几滴汁液就会清空你的肠胃!若是食用更多剂量就会导致极其严重的胃痛。卫矛中毒的其他症状包括恶心和痢疾。所以不要食用超过三粒种子,除非你想清理你的肠胃,体验极大的痛苦。

4.Pangium Edule Fruit

4.印尼黑果

印尼黑果

This little known tropical fruit grows from a large tree and is poisonous to humans because of the levels of hydrogen cyanide contained within it. It's rightfully earned the name "the fruit that nauseates." The leaves and seeds, once safely prepared, are enjoyed in a variety of dishes. One way the fruit is eaten is by boiling the seeds without their shells, which are then either soaked in water or buried in banana leaves for months. This allows the cyanide to be released, although the cyanide is often harvested to create poison. Some of the symptoms of pangium edule fruit poisoning include coma, headache, shortness of breath, dizziness, confusion and weakness. Consumption of high levels of pangium edule fruit can result in cardiac arrest or even death.

这种鲜为人知的热带水果生长在高大乔木上,并因其含有一定剂量的氰化氢而对人们具有毒性,赢得了"厌恶之果"的称号。经过安全的处理,它的叶子和种子会被制成多种菜肴。食用果子的唯一方法就是将种子脱壳、煮沸,再在水中浸泡或包裹芭蕉叶深埋数月。虽然氰化物经常生成有毒物质,但这些方法可以释放氰化物。印尼黑果的中毒症状包括昏迷、头痛、呼吸急促、头晕、意识模糊和虚弱。食用过多会导致心搏停止甚至死亡。

3.Jatropha Fruit

3.麻风树的果实

麻风树的果实

India and several other countries have reported several cases where both children and adults have been hospitalized after ingesting the jatropha fruit and experiencing symptoms of acute jartopha poisoning. The extreme pain the jatropha fruit can cause is so famous that the fruit has earned the names "purge nut" and "black vomit nut." Upon ingestion, people can experience a burning in the throat, as well as acute abdominal pain. These symptoms are followed by vomiting, nausea and diarrhea. Severe symptoms, including cardiovascular collapse and dehydration, can be fatal. Fatal symptoms occur because the jatropha can cause hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. If these symptoms are not treated, severe central nervous system depression can also result.

印度和其他几个国家相继报道过几个孩子和大人因食用麻风树的果实而住院的病例——都是急性麻风中毒的病症。麻风树果造成的痛苦很有名,所以被称作"腹泻果"和"呕吐果"。食用时,人们会感到喉部有灼烧感以及严重的腹痛,然后会出现呕吐、恶心、痢疾的症状而肠胃炎的出血会导致致命症状的发生,像心血管性虚脱和脱水。若不治疗这些症状,会导致严重的神经中枢系统抑郁症。

2.Yew Berry Tree

2.酱果紫杉

酱果紫杉

This tree has gorgeous blood red berries and can be found throughout North America, Europe and parts of the Middle East. The yew tree looks innocent — it's just a typical shrub with green leaves. But while the bright red berries themselves aren't poisonous, the bark, seeds and leaves are known for decimating livestock and can also be deadly to humans. Less severe symptoms of yew berry poisoning include diarrhea, headache, dizziness, muscle weakness, stomach pain, vomiting, trembling and dilated pupils, while the scarier symptoms include extreme difficulty breathing, coma, convulsions, irregular heartbeat and, of course, death.

这种树长有像血一样绚丽的红色浆果,可在南美、欧洲和中东的部分地区找到。这种紫杉树看起来很普通——典型的有着绿色枝叶的灌木。但是虽然亮红色的浆果无毒,它的树皮和种子却因杀害大量家畜并对人类致命而出名。轻微中毒的症状包括痢疾、头痛、头晕、肌无力、胃痛、轻微颤抖和瞳孔扩散。更可怕的症状包括严重的呼吸困难、昏迷、抽搐、不规则心跳和死亡。

1.Strychnine Fruit Plant

1.马钱子的果实

马钱子的果实

The strychnine plant is native to Australia and southern Asia. This plant's fruit is so deadly that it's been used to create a poison for centuries throughout the world. The poison is derived from the seeds of the strychnine fruit, and even a tiny amount can cause death. Dried strychnine seeds can cause severe stomach pain, high blood pressure, and cardiac failure. Less severe symptoms include heightened senses of smell, touch, hearing and vision, which have caused the seeds to be abused as a recreational drug.

马钱子产于澳大利亚和亚洲南部。这种植物的果实毒性异常,连续几个世纪都用于制造毒药。植物的毒性来自于马钱子的种子,轻微剂量都可导致死亡。干燥的马钱子种子会导制严重的胃痛、高血压和心力衰竭。当种子被当作娱乐性药物(在玩乐的场合使用的药物,实际是毒品)被滥用时会出现嗅觉、触觉、听觉和视觉感觉提升的轻微症状。
