Firstly, be cautious of ingesting poisonous flowers In some mountainous areas, there grow a sort of poison hemlock whose appearance resembles the honeysuckle flower. When visitors eat the grass by mistake, they will rapidly develop symptoms that include heart-burn, headache, nausea, vomiting, foaming at the mouth and constant stomach ache. The poisoning could even become life-threatening without timely medical treatment. Also, some common plants such as azalea, mimosa, rosebay, poinsettia and calla and so on, also contain toxic substances, the ingestion of which could result in poisoning. Therefore, the visitors had better just appreciate local plant life by observing it, rather than eating it.
Secondly, be cautious of being stung by bees Admittedly travelers will be blithely entertained among beautiful flowers where bees and butterflies often visit and dances. An average person may feel redness in the affected area, and pain after being stung by 5 bees at the same time, but will most likely recover several days later. However, if the number of attacking bees approaches the number of 200 or so, the sufferer will lose his/her life due to paralysis of respiratory centre. Thus, people planning to go for a walk in the country should not wear perfume, hair gel and other balmy cosmetics that might attract bees. In addition, sugary desserts and beverages should also be carefully sealed.
Thirdly, be cautious of mushroom poisoning In the springtime, mushrooms come into season. The number of domestic species of poisonous mushrooms is appropriately 100, and 10 of those species can be lethal to humans. So, do not pick mushroom by yourselves at will. To further reduce the probability of poison symptoms, alcohol drinking should not occur when one is eating mushrooms, since the alcohol may aggravate the poisoning symptoms caused by certain toxins. Once symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, stomachache, and diarrhea accompanied with dizziness, general fatigue, or other discomforts occur, the sufferer must immediately self-induce vomiting and seek medical help immediately
When people go out for a spring walk to enjoy the warm weather and blooming season£¬they should they never ignore the safety risks that may accompany these delights.
