pean Spindle Tree

5.歐洲衛矛

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!

衆所周知，歐洲衛矛爲鳥類和昆蟲提供食物，同時也爲藝術家製造高質量的木炭色彩。這種美麗的樹可以在樹林中找到，但是不管如何誘人你都不能吃它的果實。樹和果實都有通便的作用，曾用於對抗嚴重的消化不良，它的幾滴汁液就會清空你的腸胃！若是食用更多劑量就會導致極其嚴重的胃痛。衛矛中毒的其他症狀包括噁心和痢疾。所以不要食用超過三粒種子，除非你想清理你的腸胃，體驗極大的痛苦。

ium Edule Fruit

4.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.

這種鮮爲人知的熱帶水果生長在高大喬木上，並因其含有一定劑量的氰化氫而對人們具有毒性，贏得了"厭惡之果"的稱號。經過安全的處理，它的葉子和種子會被製成多種菜餚。食用果子的唯一方法就是將種子脫殼、煮沸，再在水中浸泡或包裹芭蕉葉深埋數月。雖然氰化物經常生成有毒物質，但這些方法可以釋放氰化物。印尼黑果的中毒症狀包括昏迷、頭痛、呼吸急促、頭暈、意識模糊和虛弱。食用過多會導致心搏停止甚至死亡。

opha Fruit

3.麻風樹的果實

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.

印度和其他幾個國家相繼報道過幾個孩子和大人因食用麻風樹的果實而住院的病例——都是急性麻風中毒的病症。麻風樹果造成的痛苦很有名，所以被稱作"腹瀉果"和"嘔吐果"。食用時，人們會感到喉部有灼燒感以及嚴重的腹痛，然後會出現嘔吐、噁心、痢疾的症狀而腸胃炎的出血會導致致命症狀的發生，像心血管性虛脫和脫水。若不治療這些症狀，會導致嚴重的神經中樞系統抑鬱症。

Berry Tree

2.醬果紫杉

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.

這種樹長有像血一樣絢麗的紅色漿果，可在南美、歐洲和中東的部分地區找到。這種紫杉樹看起來很普通——典型的有着綠色枝葉的灌木。但是雖然亮紅色的漿果無毒，它的樹皮和種子卻因殺害大量家畜並對人類致命而出名。輕微中毒的症狀包括痢疾、頭痛、頭暈、肌無力、胃痛、輕微顫抖和瞳孔擴散。更可怕的症狀包括嚴重的呼吸困難、昏迷、抽搐、不規則心跳和死亡。

chnine Fruit Plant

1.馬錢子的果實

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.

馬錢子產於澳大利亞和亞洲南部。這種植物的果實毒性異常，連續幾個世紀都用於製造毒藥。植物的毒性來自於馬錢子的種子，輕微劑量都可導致死亡。乾燥的馬錢子種子會導制嚴重的胃痛、高血壓和心力衰竭。當種子被當作娛樂性藥物（在玩樂的場合使用的藥物，實際是毒品）被濫用時會出現嗅覺、觸覺、聽覺和視覺感覺提升的輕微症狀。
