| 慎防與五指毛桃相似的有毒植物 Beware of toxic plants resembling Radix Fici Simplicissimae 五指毛桃為一種桑科植物的根部，是一種近年頗受歡迎的煲湯材料。雖然五指毛桃無毒，但由於在山野常與一些有毒植物(如斷腸草 - 一種有毒的馬錢科植物)同地生長，而且五指毛桃與這些有毒植物的外形相似，故採挖五指毛桃時，可能混入有毒的植物。香港過往亦有因進食懷疑摻雜了有毒植物的五指毛桃而導致中毒的事件發生。 Radix Fici Simplicissimae is the root of a plant belongs to the Moraceae family and is one of the popular ingredients used to prepare soup in recent years. Although Radix Fici Simplicissimae is not toxic, it grows in the wild in areas where some toxic plants are prevalent, such as Gelsemium elegans (a toxic plant belongs to the Loganiaceae family). The appearance of these plant species is similar and may be mixed up during harvesting. In Hong Kong, there were poisoning cases involving consumption of Radix Fici Simplicissimae suspected to be contaminated with toxic plants. 中心給市民的建議: - 避免採食野生植物。
- 購買食物要光顧可靠的零售商。
- 切勿進食非供食用的植物。如有懷疑，便不要進食。
- 如服用植物後出現不適，應立即徵詢醫護人員的意見。
CFS’s advice to the Public: - Avoid picking wild plants for food.
- Source food from reliable retailers.
- Do not consume plants that are not known to be edible. If in doubt, better not to consume them.
- Members of the public should seek advice from healthcare professionals immediately if they feel unwell after consuming the plants.
