In ancient Greece, it was used to poison criminals. In Sochi, you can find this dangerous plant in forest areas.
Hemlock spotted, belonging to the umbelliferae family, can be mistaken for wild cilantro or parsley. The desire to diversify dishes, especially in the Caucasus, often leads to the fact that people collect and try wild plants such as rosemary, wild onions and sorrel. However, hemlock is deadly poisonous - all parts of it contain toxic substances. You should not tear off, let alone chew and swallow their leaves, flowers and fruits, as this can lead to poisoning, - noted the leading researcher of the Sochi National Park Galina Soltani.
At the same time, other poisonous plants grow in Sochi. In particular, these include oleander. It is not recommended to tear off and not chew its leaves and flowers. The juice can cause irritation of the mucous membrane, and eaten flowers can cause poisoning. You should also not try the fruits of honeysuckle Tatar and Imeretinskaya, as well as pea-like pods of gorse and broom. Bouquets of flowers in an enclosed space can cause headaches.
It is important to be able to recognize poisonous plants and take precautions to avoid contact with them. If you suspect that you or someone you know has been poisoned, seek medical attention immediately.
