The two mothers were poisoned after tasting the golden fruit of the iron tree.

The two mothers could not resist “tasting” the fruit of the iron tree on the spot, but they did not expect the symptoms of poisoning to appear afterwards, thanks to the emergency medical treatment.

The two amazons were playing in a park in Jiangxia a few days ago and found an iron tree that actually bore fruit. The two decided to eat an iron tree fruit “to taste” while watching. About two hours later, they both developed chest tightness, nausea and vomiting symptoms, and were rushed to Wuhan University People’s Hospital for medical attention. The two women were fortunate that the amount they consumed was not much and did not cause serious damage to their bodies, the physician said.

It is understood that the iron tree fruit is also called “phoenix eggs”, the age of the tree in more than two or three decades of the iron tree will bear fruit, which can be seen its degree of rarity. Although the appearance looks similar to chestnuts, but the doctor reminded, do not easily eat this “phoenix eggs”.

The physician said that the iron tree fruit is actually a herb of traditional Chinese Medicine, a small amount of medicine to have anti-inflammatory and anti-blood, cough expectorant effect. If you eat the fruit of the iron tree directly raw, it will cause dizziness, vomiting, abdominal pain and other symptoms, and will lead to nerve paralysis, muscle atrophy, and possibly even liver and kidney failure.

The ama is treated in the hospital.
