Day lily, commonly known as "day lily" and scientific name day lily, belongs to Liliaceae and is the bud of a perennial herb. Day lily is delicious, tender and nutritious, such as pollen, sugar, protein, vitamin C, calcium, fat, carotene and amino acids. Its carotene content is even several times higher than that of tomatoes. Day lily is sweet and cool, and has the effects of stopping bleeding, diminishing inflammation, clearing away heat, promoting diuresis, promoting digestion, improving eyesight and calming the nerves. It has therapeutic effect on hematemesis, bloody stool, constipation, insomnia and galactorrhea, and can be used as a tonic after illness or postpartum. Soak in water before eating, and take off the stalks and wash them before cooking. Day lily is often cooked with vegetarian dishes such as black fungus, and can also be made into soup or fried with eggs, chicken and meat, which is rich in nutrition. However, fresh day lily contains a kind of "colchicine" substance, which is non-toxic, but it is very toxic after being absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract and oxidized into "colchicine" in the body. So when eating fresh food, don't eat more every time. Because the toxic components of fresh day lily are at a high temperature of 60? C can be weakened or disappeared, so when eating, you should first blanch the fresh day lily with boiling water, then soak it in clear water for more than 2 hours, remove it and wash it with clear water before frying, so that colchicine can be destroyed and it is safe to eat fresh day lily. When consumers eat dry products, it is best to soak them in clear water or warm water for many times before eating to remove residual harmful substances, such as sulfur dioxide. Poisoning by eating fresh day lily mostly occurs in June and July of the day lily mature season. Colchicine oxide has a strong stimulating effect on gastrointestinal mucosa and respiratory mucosa, causing nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, thirst, abdominal distension and other symptoms. In severe cases, bloody stool, hematuria or anuria may occur. Colchicine in fresh day lily is easily soluble in water, so we can treat it according to its characteristics when eating it. Soak fresh daylily in cold water for more than 2 hours several hours before eating, and it is better to change water once in the middle; Or soak in cold water for 2 hours after scalding with boiling water once to avoid poisoning. It is better to eat no more than 50 grams each time. Because every 50 grams of fresh day lily contains about 0. 1 mg colchicine, it will not cause poisoning. Poisoning patients are treated mainly according to symptoms, especially paying attention to supplementing water, not dehydration, and timely intravenous infusion when they cannot be taken orally.
