I. What happened: Mr. Zhang, 59, from Xinzhou District, Wuhan City, Hubei Province, suffered from lumbar disc herniation for many years and often felt backache and leg pain, especially when it was rainy or too cold. Some time ago, he heard that Datura can dispel wind and remove dampness and treat arthritis, which is good for treating lumbar disc herniation, so he got some Datura seeds to soak in wine for health. Three months later, Mr. Zhang felt that the brewed medicinal liquor should be ready to drink. He poured a glass at noon that day. Unexpectedly, after only two drinks, he began to talk nonsense and fidget. His family thinks he is drunk and crazy. After Mr. Zhang was rushed to the hospital for treatment, his condition did not improve and he was transferred to Wuhan Houhu Campus Central Hospital. After all-out rescue, Mr. Zhang finally got better and his consciousness turned clear the next day. ?

Second, the cause of Datura poisoning: Every year, the hospital will treat patients who are poisoned by eating Datura or using Datura homemade medicinal liquor. Datura stramonium is a very dangerous plant. Its roots, stems, leaves and fruits are all toxic, among which fruits, especially seeds, are the most toxic, which can interrupt the control of parasympathetic nerves and stimulate or inhibit the central nervous system. Poisoned people will have symptoms such as dry mouth and pharynx, irritability, auditory hallucination, dilated pupils, numbness and convulsions of limbs, and even coma and death in severe cases. ?

Three. Matters needing attention in drinking medicinal liquor:

(1) Never drink medicine on an empty stomach: After drinking medicinal liquor on an empty stomach for 30 minutes, the toxic reaction of alcohol in medicinal liquor to the body can reach its peak. ?

(2) Medicinal liquor is not suitable for mixed drinking: two or more kinds of medicinal liquor are mixed for drinking. Because of the different therapeutic effects of drugs, different reactions will occur in the body, causing toxic reactions such as headache and nausea, and even leading to drug poisoning. ?

(3) Patients with hypertension should drink with caution: Drinking medicated wine in patients with hypertension will increase blood pressure, increase the burden on cardiovascular system, lead to arrhythmia, myocardial injury, and even lead to cardiogenic cerebral embolism.

(4) Use with caution in patients with liver diseases: People with liver dysfunction have decreased detoxification ability of the liver, and medicinal liquor accumulates in the liver, damaging hepatocytes, reducing detoxification ability of the liver, and even leading to cirrhosis and liver cancer. ?

(5) It is not appropriate to take a bath immediately after drinking: In order to maintain body temperature, the human body consumes a lot of glucose when taking a bath, and the alcohol in the medicinal liquor hinders the synthesis of glycogen. Therefore, taking a bath after drinking is easy to cause dizziness, tachycardia and other diseases. ?

(6) The most important thing to note is that many people like to make medicinal liquor at home now, especially in the cold winter, and they like to drink a few mouthfuls of medicinal liquor every day to warm up and tonify. But making medicinal liquor requires professional knowledge, not just making drinks. Each Chinese herbal medicine has different eating habits and medicinal properties. Unreasonable formula will not only make medicinal liquor lose its original efficacy, but also lead to deterioration of medicinal liquor? Poisonous wine? , seriously endangering life.
